| sorry, I didnt know I can post without being registered. So, I have -1GB of PC4400 Platinum -4PCA3+ rev 2.0 FSB 321 benchable, 300FSB 2xprime95 stable -2.4C L319 capable of 4GHz on air. (334x12) - screenshot only, 3,6GHz @1,52v -Antec 1080 case 430W truepower - crap vid. card This memory gave me nothing but problems. 1:1 I cannot run it more than 265 FSB. 5:4 is unstable at almost all frequencies. 3:2 ofcourse is running OK just to 300FSB. Over that, errors. With my "crappy" PC2100 samsung chips I can take to FSB 321MHz 3:2, and do all set of benches (I did not try 3D): PCmark, Sandra, Super PI, PiFast. |

| OK, I am back and registered. hello Liquid3D  Nice job. But that corsair man.. I have to test it more. Maybe with no PAT.. dunno.. I will get 2-3 other boards to put it in. I cant believe how bad can perform. Or it's my mobo, I am trully pissed off. Since I will clarify this matter, I am staying with the sycron pc2100 mem witch allowes me - check attach(3:2 divider).What should I do to run at least 5:4? This is no memory, the ONLY GOOD MEMORY for 865/875P is with BH-5 or BH-6 chips. |

the advantage of having higher rated speed memory is due to the 1:1 and the ability to run PAT at high speeds on HQ mobo's. 5:4 with memory running very tight timings will indeed equal this performance, but the amount of sticks available who are rated PC3200+ and able to do CL2 2-2-5 is diminishing, the new CH-x is improving though (check OCZ PC3700 rev2 for example) the Hynix chips are know for very high FSB but high timings. it depends on your mobo & cpu to decide if this memory can serve you, if your CPU or mobo can't get to an FSB of 275+ then consider memory with lower speed and tighter timings

| 321Mhz in 1:1 ? 320 Mhz 5:4 != 320 Mhz 1:1 the boards I tested could go close to 300Mhz in 5:4 with this memory, but had problems reaching 270Mhz in 1:1. it's the motherboard . the only verified motherboards for these high rated sticks are Asus P4C800-E Delux v1.2 and the latest DFI i875 mobo

| now I know, but still.. I have problems in 5:4 also, so I dont think it's the board. With different memory I go to 300MHz.. but with those only to 250-260 so it MUST be the memory Unfortunately I dont have it anymore for further testing.. |

| if you find the ram not performing up to its rated speeds you can always contact Corsair support, their after sales support is very good.
