hobnere · 02-July-06, 06:02 PM

I am wonder what 2g memory to pair with my opty 148. I have bh-5 right now and my processor can run 260fsb stable and can bench at 275. I have a DFI NF-4 EXPERT.

With the Expert mobo your better off running memory modules that use the UCCD chip , so Mushkin XP4000 , G.skill HZ , OCZ etc,etc.... these mobo's can be very fussy about what memory you use.

I run a opty 165 on the Expert mobo with the G.skill HZ & have no problems, on a FSB of 302 & a mem divider of 180 9/10 they will run @ 271mhz thats DDR542 ...

Here's a link to Dfi-street on mem timings & the like, i'd say 7/10 guys on there run the G.Skill HZ ...

G. skill is very good memory for the price, personally i like OCZ, or cosair, they have the overall best overclocking memory, but for a much lower price, go with the g. skill

I was thinking of getting these corsair ones http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145028
Do you guys think that the gskill would be better or these ?

Just had a look round a few sites & it seems that more than a few peps have had problems with corsiar ram on the Expert .
Like i posted above have a look round Dfi-street to see whats hot & whats not with ram on the Expert, it'll save you a lot of hassle in the long run if you do some research now & then make your desicion ....
