I also was thinking at some kind of factory oc, 2,8v seems too much I don't even know if my bios support this voltage, need to check. I do like the RAm heatsinks of many of those OCZ modules though, but I did notice some tended to let go and not be attached to the RAM chips anymore (they would be slightly bend, so better have a visual inspection before you intend to run your memory modules at the top range somewhere).
Only advantage I could think of is warranty, but I'd think in your case this wouldn't apply? Perhaps you could first plug in some generic DDR-400 1GB 3-3-3 modules, set things to manual, shut down and replace with your OZC modules, enter BIOS and do your tweaks manually and try to see if it runs stable?įor some reason I never really liked modules that were sold as "better" or "lower latency" whilst having a factory overclock, as the overclock might as well be done by the end user manually. I don't know if they work at 2.8v by default.

I prefer to search for best IC's "under the hood" and pick ones with standard size heatspreader. There's also that CPU heatsink height/width problem (too small, and RAM/cooler can't be mounted). They are bulky, and in most MB's can't be put besides each other without bending memory slots (require mix-matching for 4 module configuration).
I personally don't like those high profile RAM kits (OCZ heatpipe DDR2 is overkill). Of course you can "cherry pick" Overclocker's RAM as well 😉 Normally you don't get that and have to resort to serial or revision checking to get best quality RAM. RAM obviously can work on multiple different profiles set in SPD.Ĭheck CPU-z "SPD" tab for more details about settings available to your RAM "RAM for overclockers" is a guarantee OC up to set point, specified by manufacturer (warranty covers any stability problems if said RAM can't work on it). for 400MHz JEDEC profile kit (and 2,5V for every other profile).Ģ,8V is what OCZ wants you to set to get 100% stable at timings and frequency described on package/stickers. Default settings are almost always JEDEC standard settings, and those are 2,6V max.
