What kind of numbers are you expecting to Oc to?

 

[Charper2013]

Just want something easy and fast for my 5000+Be
In other words... Something that can keep up
Also please dont get any power heavy ram

well the reason I asked is from my experiences, AMD likes tight timings on the ram at whatever speed you choose, and Intel likes the higher MHz and doesn't care much about timings.

Not all ram that can run tight timings can Oc for the stars, on the flip side there is a lot of ram that when the timings are relaxed will shoot for the stars. Also your requirement for low voltage ram takes you out of the latter category of ram, as to OC for high numbers usually requires more voltage to achieve.

Well I need soemthing that will hold up with my 300W until i get a ew one.. then ocing will happen

well to be honest the ram isnt going to mess with it that much, but in order to bring the rest of the PC up to snuff that PSU is questionable. I wouldnt really be too worried about the ram voltage then as long as the bios options support it.

Not trying to dash any hopes or dreams here, just trying to pick some more info from you to get better help from the members.

Lets be honest here. you can find mediore OC'ing ram at best for your budget. The killer clocking ram is still pretty expensive to attain.

One last question is theis a 2X2GB kit your after or a 2X1GB kit of ram?

 

[Charper2013]

2x1 is fine since ima be on xp

 

[sneekypeet]

if you can stretch the budget a bit I personally would shoot for these, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227196

The MHz is there you just need to try to max its potential. if you dont get to 1150MHz you could always tighten the timings.

 

[Charper2013]

Ok ill stretch just for that
Any RAM Ocing guides out there?

 

[sneekypeet]

loads...look at the sticky's at the top of of the memory sections...google will lead you to a few as well.

 

[Charper2013]

alright thanks..

These are GREAT clockers but each DIMM is only 1gb, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820150054 <-- Deactivated, find it somewhere else.

And there Deactivated.

 

[spearman914]

And there Deactivated.

OH i know that, i forgot to write "It would be great if u can find these somewhere"

 

[Charper2013]

Anywhere else i could find em?

 

[spearman914]

http://www.axiontech.com/prdt.php?item=13427 But there the PC8500 version.

 

[sneekypeet]

Nice find, those sticks are considered great clockers with added voltage, and the price is pretty decent as well.

In all honesty, you might as well forget about Overclocking on that power supply. I wouldn't overclock on anything less then 500watt, preferably 750-850watt for above average overclocking.
