Which ram to go with?

[Zecora]

i am getting the IC7-max3,2.4c

i would like to o/c, which ram do you guys recommend i get.

do some research and do not, I repeat, DO NOT, buy CH-5 winbond chip ram. I have some Corsair Twinx pc3200C2PT and since its winbond CH-5, it just wont OC.

k no ch-5, but how do i tell

There are quite a few threads on these boards saying where you can still get BH-5 ram -- The problem is, it's out of production, so it's a matter of finding it.

CH-5 will work, I'd suggest OCZ or Geil Golden Dragon, but personally I'd stay away from Corsair if your wanting to OC on an IC7-G

i was thinking of going with corsair pc4000 or kingston pc4000 a gig or 512 i do not know yet but what do you guys think?

will i get a good o/c?

Get the Kingston HyperX PC3000 as they are BH5 chips.. nice overclocks with low latencys

 

[Zecora]

that low pc3000, the lowest i will go is pc3500

No, its really PC3500 as all their PC3000's have Windbond BH5 chips.. they have a marketing glitch.. so really, the pc3000 is a 3500 that you get to pay less for

really?
