ok i just purchased some pc8500 fatality series ram , i had the ocz reaper before and i just couldnt get it to run stable at 1066, i got these runing stable at 1066 with my quad core oc'd at 4.0ghz

anyone got any reviews on these things. the only downside i seen was i dont think these are overclockable at all they come stock at 6-7-7 @ 2.0 and i know for overclockers you like to look for ram around 1.8v

if anyone else has this ram oc'd let me know what cas timings and voltage you got up to i would like to try and push this stuff around 1100 mhz or 1200mhz if possible

thanks - chris

that's gotta be the worst RAM available...6-7-7 timings? @2v? jeez

you should've bought some good 1066 MHz RAM with 5-5-5 timings, probably the same price too

its pretty rediculous that i have some corsair xms2 ram thats ddr400 that i can overclock to 1066mhz and it runs fine and pulls the same exact numbers on everest as this pc8500 fatality series which i cant even get to overclock to 1100mhz

if i wanted to try and push this pc8500 up to 1200 mhz would i need to mess with my divider at all, right now its at 9x i wonder if i lower it if i could achieve the 1200mhz i want to run my ram at and still run 4ghz brb gunna reboot 50 more times to try and get this **** to overclock ...otherwise this ****y ass ram is goin rigth back to the store and ill stick with my ddr400 that clocks to 1066 no problem

If you want a nice set of DDR2 2x2GB, look into the G-Skill PI 8800's (1100mhz stock).

If you want 1200mhz ram then buy a kit rated for it. Most 800/1066mhz kits top out at around 1100, maybe a tad higher if your lucky.
