PC Peripherals Which is the best DDR400 Value Ram which overclocks also

Hi All

I am looking for good value ram 512MB DDR400 which also gives me a bit of overclocking head room.

184Pin - NonECC - Unbuffered

Do we get OCZ rams over here in India if yes where.

If no OCZ do recommend me from
Hynix , Transcend , Corsair , Kingston or anyother if you know.

i am atleast expecting the ram to overclock to 225-230Mhz.

Ram will be run on a Asus A8N Sli.
 
I have used Crucial (Micron) - 256X2 and Corsair Value Select 2 X 256 together in my P4 machine and managed to get to 250FSB. At 1:1 ratio, and without any voltage adjustment, I can easily hit 220FSB. So, I guess both Crucial and Corsair modules will be able to meet your requirements. But with value RAMs and overclocking, there is always bit of a chance factor.

Anandtech has recently done a Value RAM round-up. You can have a look at that article. However, I am not sure about the availability of these RAMs in India.
 
our resident overclocker darklord has managed 280mhz with very loose timings on a pair of generic hynix rams. so you can try your luck with those too
 
i think darky did 290+ with hynix

also,transcend is a good braqnd may be about 3300,some oc,good perrormance

corsair for 3550 + 4%tax in delhi , might give stable perofrmace
 
well.. Value RAM and OCing .. its always a matter of chance if u want both.. perhaps if u are good friends with ur computer dealer u cud perhaps test ur RAM b4 u buy them..

i know my dealer very well.. and wehn i buy RAM for myself i test it b4 i buy it :ohyeah:
 
Hey mask you are really lucky that you get a chance to test.

Well can any one give me a fair idea uptil how much does corsair value ram overclock and what is the model number.

I will be using it in Dual Channel 2x512MB on AMD Platform
 
Hey Chaos.. u sure its the SP series? Coz, the Product description says - TwinMOS Dual Channel Kit 184-Pin 1GB(512MB x 2) DDR PC-3200, Model TMII400/1GB - OEM and the rated Voltage is 2.6V

or did u mean it needs 3.3V for OCing?

Edit:

or did u mean this one? http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-218-405&depa=1
 
Hmmm its the first one for sure. I guess they changed the naming. Its TMII 400 for sure that has the UTT. You can run it at 2.6V 2.5-4-4-7 @ 200 timings or supply it 3.3+ and end up doing 2-2-2 @ 250 :)
 
Actually its a hit or miss situation with the TwinMos RAM, you just need to ensure your modules have the AA4T part number on them which confirms they are the Winbond UTT chips. If thats the case you're all set to go for high speeds with tight latencies, assuming your board can supply voltages greater than 3V :bleh:. If you're in bad luck, you'll end up with chips that have the AADT part number. If i recollect correctly, the 4 = Winbond, D = PSC chips (some taiwanese company that focusses on low quality chips).

If i'm not mistaken the SP(Speed Premiums) have a higher chance of having the Winbond UTT chips than the standard modules. Again among the Speed Premiums, the 256MB modules have a higher chance than the 512MB modules. However not too sure which category the TMII 1GB kit you linked us to falls in, but they seem to be having good levels of success as well.

On a further note, I guess Quad was looking for RAM available locally, in which case I dont think the SPs are available (are they?). Else if he has the option to order from abroad, i'd definately recommend the OCZ Value VX over the TwinMos SPs, as they too are confirmed Winbond UTTs, are pretty much the same as the higher-end OCZ VX(except for not having been hand picked and tested) and are backed by awesome OCZ service. However availability is a little rare for them, and the Egg has it for about 149$.
 
Thanks a lot for the info.

But can you guys put some light on the Hynix ddr400 which darky managed
to overclock.

The Ram with Hynix D43 Chips they are cheap and have overclocked gr8.

All i want is a BW of approx 6500MB/s with a AMD System.

Good piece of info there ! A4T (i.e. single and not double AA ) is Winbond BH-5, I vaguely recall.
