Regular DDR2-533 Kingston

[smilepak]

How much do you think I could O/C on the Intel E6400 with this set of Kingston? I got it up to 280FSB now. I am guessing 300 at most.

When you say Kingston, do you mean Valueram or what?

Yea, their valueram line

Just FYI. I'm using Kingston ValueRam DDR2-667 KVR667D2N5/512 x 4, I OC these rig upto DDR2-910 pushed by 2.225V voltage power, it's rock stable at this speed, and I know these ram can be OC even higher because I found my bottleneck is CPU temp with stock HSF full load at FSB=458 / Temp=68C. At this point, Prime95 will fail on CPU test but RAM test is OK.

Currently running GA-965P-DQ6 / Bios=F6e / E6300 w stock fan @ 3185 MHz / FSB:455 / Multiplier=7 / FSBRAM=1:1

I'm not sure how Kingston DDR2-533 will perform, but I am surpprised by their DDR2-667 ValueRam.

Regards

Sorry, have to correct DRAM voltage from 2.425V to 2.225V, means +0.425V in DQ6 Bios setting, or somebody may fire their board

Wow..did you have a heatspreader on that?

No, just leave them naked
Information from other articles shows adding heatspreader is not necessary for current ram module.
