No more OCZ memory for me.

WyreTheWolf · Dec 13, 2002, 04:42 AM

Well I got rid of that crap OCZ PC2700 (that wouldn't do 166)

I traded it in on a brand new stick of Corsair PC3200 Cas2 512MB...

Now it is time to do a 3 day burn in ... and do some serious overclocking!

Was it too slow or shitty or what?

WyreTheWolf · Dec 13, 2002, 08:14 AM

slow, shitty, and wouldn't run at its advertised speeds. So now I am getting some Corsair XMS lovin!

Corsair is really good

oo da XMS lovin...... That should get ya where ya need to be. when/if I get around to it I am gonna grap me some corsair 3500. Congrats on the new ram

Well the interesting thing is that this memory doesn't like ultra settings in BIOS... It won't go over 148MHz at Ultra settings... But at system speed set to normal, I hit 173MHz on an unlocked 1600+ AGOIA 4! That is a massive overclock for an Athlon processor. and it is very stable

I got my OCZ 3500 EL CL2 at 200 fsb and stable as hell.best memory i ever bought and its the fastest on at least 5 tests i have seen so far.

Yeah OCZ has always sucked IMHO. Nice job on the overclock, you beat my AGOIA by 1mhz on the FSB

I have two sticks of PC3000 OCZ ram. Worst crap I've ever bought. Ever. It took me 6 days to find a bootable configuration for my computer (which my comp has not left since), at 125fsb, cas 2.5, worst timings, the whole shebang, all because the memory got glitchy and started making errors (found with memtest86.com 's program) at anything above that. I asked OCZ to help me replace my RAM, and they told me that it was a motherboard problem. So after revving my motherboard up to 159mhz on a friend's corsair, I know they're wrong, an d they tell me that defective RAM should be returned to the seller and not the manufacturer (which is bullsh!t).

OCZ sucks.

I had some OCZ PC2400 that could do 175, but it don't even compare XMS mem. Good choice
