PC4200 at Cas 2.5?

Bridaddy · 09-23-2003, 02:17 AM

Have I just been away for awhile, or is this something new?

I was under the impression that everything PC4000 and above operated at Cas 3 at best.

Anyone know anything about this?

Nope. My OCZ4000 Gold runs fine at 2.5.

From OCZ's website it says:

"OCZ Enhanced Latency PC-4000 memory using state of the art ULN technology is capable of achieving outrageous speeds of up to 500 MHz at CL 3-4-4-8."

is the fact that yours can do 2.5 a fluke, or expected?

No I don't think it's a fluke. That's the specification. Try this link

I am actually running it at 2.5,3,4,7 right now at 288mhz 5:4.
It did that at 250 1:1 too.

Yeah thats not the Gold. The Gold will do 2.5.

Well cool, I learned something new!

Obviously I am not up on my stuff like I thought I was!

What do you guys think is the best solution with bandwidth compared to timings then? I had thought it was OCZ 3700 gold, but I'm a little confused.

Any recommendations?

Would be for a 2.4C

If 512MB is enough for you then go with the 3700 Gold, if you want a gig go with the 4000 Gold.

CrocHammer · 09-23-2003, 03:52 PM

Yes I agree. For a 2.4c I would go with the 3700Gold for maximum overclock at 5:4. You would have the advantage of better timings at the same fsb as the 4000Gold.
