up and running @500 -- 2 x 512mb Geil pc4200

maxxshwagg · 08-14-2003, 05:28 PM

well i have to say that i am suprised. the 2 x 512mb Geil pc4200 sticks i got today are up and running at 1:1 250 without a hitch. i was worried they wouldn't hit this speed at the 2.8V max of my ic7-g but they are fine and at CAS 2.5 no less. my proc is maxed out so i can't test any higher but i am confortable that they will run at spec if i run at cas 3. who know what they will do with some proper juice.

only used corsair up to now but for $330 for a set compared to $380 for corsair and an insane 430 for ocz, these sticks are the winner.

so far they passed memtest looped 10 times and prime 95 for an hour. will keep them priming all night.

very nice.

PC4200 was DDR533 last time I checked. So why are you underclocking the memory?

Unless it's PC4000, which is DDR500. In my upcoming DDR500 mem roundup, Geil did quite well.

my 2.8c hits a wall at 250fsb no matter what memory ratio the board is set on.....also my ic7-g will not boot with any ratio except for 5:4 1:1 or 3:2......wish i had a 2.4 or 2.6 that will let me run at 250+ but for now this is good....

what kind of air cooling would i need to achieve this stable? i mean if you are running it so cool then shouldnt this be possible with air cooling?

im running a p4c800-e deluxe and a p4 2.8c

i think you could achieve these temps with air with a swiftec or similar heatsink big fan and some reasonable ambient temps.
