I need help with ram choices and ocz booster.

[chucky_d]

I want to be able to overclock my fx53 to about 230 or maybe even 240fsb while keeping my ram in a 1:1 with 2-2-2-10 timings. Yeah it sounds demanding.... What do i need to do to make it happen? I was thinking the only way would be to get some winbond bh-5 maybe mushkin or something similar and slapping about 3.3v to it. Also from what i read the ocz booster is 100% compatible with my board so thats cool as well....might get outta this ordeal withotu a vdimm mod....

3.3 volts?
i think you may be getting a little over agressive there.

I think you don't know what you are talking about.

You will need either Winbond BH-5 or some very good quality BH-6.

3.3 Volts is not overkill for BH-5 memory at all. As long as there is DECENT airflow, the modules can run 3.3 day and night without issue.

For what i was wanting to do is there really a no-brainer pair of dimms i can get and if so could you rec me some?

Chucky D,

Try ebay for either:

OCZ PC-3500 Platinum
OCZ PC-3500 Platinum LE

Mushkin BH-5

Corsair XMS-3500 Rev. 1.0 BH-5

 

[chucky_d]

Thanx. Out of those which would you be more comfy with?

They are all good brands, but OCZ is my personal fave.

i checked on bh-5 and couldnt find a 2x512 kit for less than $400. I might pick some of that ocz up and try it out. I know the guy at monarch here in atlanta so if it doesnt work like i expected i can exchange it for something else on the down low.

If you need anything or have questions, contact the guys at OCZ.
