Why buy budget ram I bought this.

[nitro28]

I was going to buy budget ram, but then I saw this stuff. I got it for $159 after rebate, now its $139 oh well, its very fast.

If you would include that it was 1 GB Kingston Hyper X PC3200 in the message title a few people would probably check this thread out. Good deal at Outpost.com.

Kingston Hyper X 400MHz (PC3200) 2-3-2-6-1 (CAS Latency 2)

 

[yougotdeals]

Yes. More descriptive title will gain more attention.

Nice find!

 

[P0ldy]

Wow, nice job.

yeah, the OP is a moron, but just a note for overclockers, this hyperx is not overclockable, and indeed it's not the superfast 2-2-2-5 tccd memory, but rather it's 2.5-3-3-7 ch5 which is not that fast, and not overclockable at all. You can tell by the product number - if it ends with 3200 or 3200A, then it's the slow hyperx (like here). The good one ends with 3200UL. If you're running stock 400 mhz. then it's ok, but you can probably find 2.5 CL modules for cheaper.

You guys can ignore the person above. I have no clue what he is talking about. The advertised specs are 400MHz (PC3200) 2-3-2-6-1 (CAS Latency 2).
Maybe he is talking about value ram or something. Makes him the moron right?

It's 2-3-2-6 only at DDR333. It's 2.5.-3-3-6 at DDR400. I know because I bought it from outpost. [that is, trikat==moron]

 

[sparkie34]

Incorrect.


333MHz (PC2700) 2-2-2-5-1 (CAS Latency 2)
400MHz (PC3200) 2-3-2-6-1 (CAS Latency 2)

 

[superHARD]

lol

 

[Taewlee]

lol looks like you're all morons cause everyone saying something different! maybe one person is right but then again, maybe you're all wrong!

 

[The Pentium Guy]

I'm definately disagreeing on the fact that HyperX is not overclockable. We're not buying Value ram here....

I am right. lol

[user1234]

it doesn't say it's 2-3-2-6 at ddr400. As I said, I have the KHX3200A model and the SPD setting of the module (which is used by the bios to set the default timings) is 2-3-2-6 only below DDR400 and 2.5-3-3-6 at or above DDR400. Go ahead ask anyone or just buy it and you'll see - the default at DDR400 is CL2.5. Kapish ?

In fact, it's not better then value RAM. But in any case, this is not on the same league as the really fast memory like the Balistix, OCZ EL, or Corsair XMS. That's why it's budget priced. Do you finally get it ?

I've had four sticks of this ram from outpost and everyone boots at 2-3-2-6 at DDR400. It shows it right on the spec sheet so why are your argueing?

 

[user1234]

What does the SPD table show, using CPU-Z ? Also, let's hear if you could overclock it ?

 

[The Pentium Guy]

The same model number in NewEgg is:
http://www.newegg.com/app/view...=20-144-126&depa=0

Outpost: Model #KHX3200K2/1GR
NewEgg: Model# KHX3200K2/1G

Does the R at the end make any difference?

I'm just looking for any Samsung TCCD Ram (Socket 939 + TCCD -> Good overclock).

[RideFree]

Sez in the spec sheet that it'll do CAS 2.0 at 217Mhz...it'll probably do the 2-3-2-6-1 with the proper application of 2.8 v in the BIOS.
The very least I would expect from this RAM is 2-3-3-7-1 CAS Latency 2 @ 434.
Kapish ?

 

[The Pentium Guy]

Pretty much it. Thanks

 

[bhyma]

very nice ram, very nice deal
