HYPERX PC 4000 RAM 512 FOR 119$ @ bb SMOKING HOT~Update NO MIR at Frys!

[lxie123]

This is a HOT.. You can get 2 sticks for 240$. This ram will run 1:1 with your overclocked cpu.

I'm going to try for pm at fry's after work. ZZF has these sticks for no less then 155$ a peice, that over 300$ for a gig and you have to wait for shipping and rma is not as easy as walking your ass in to BB customer service return line.

Repost, and has $10 MIR.

There may be some downsides to this DDR. Make sure you read the other post.

What is 1:1,what do you mean..?

 

[mooteh]

Overclocked 1:1 ratio rather than using a CPU / Ram frequency divider such as 5:4 or 3:2 etc.

Damn you for posting that review.. now i'm debating whether or not to take this memory back to frys.

Here's the count guys.

I need to return 1 of the rams below.

1) Buffalo BH-5 PC3700, Cost = 200$ Runs @ 400 2-2-2-5

2) Kingston hyperx, Cost= 240$ Runs at 500 3-8-4-4

Both of these ram let me run my p4 2.6c @ 3.25 stock volatage.


Price difference is only 40$ .. Which ram should i keep/return?

 

[mooteh]

I'd say if ur gonna keep them overclocked then stick with the HyperX 4000s

 

[KDKPSJ]

NVM, I may be wrong

Keep the Buffalo and put the $40 back in your pocket. Whether you get there by timings or speed, performance is performance. That Buffalo BH-5 PC3700 should run well beyond 200 MHz. WELL beyond with some extra voltage (it's guaranteed to take 3.2V if necessary).

 

[kiljadn]

^ exactly.

Why pay the extra $40 for inferior out-the-box performance?

 

[Johnbear007]

you can get kingston pc3200 that runs tight for 176. get that.

 

[peterpro]

i bought the pc4000 kingston about 2 weeks ago at BB for 140 pricematched from fries.

do they do a competetive retro pricematch even though they came down from 199 to 140?

thanks
