Looks like the Corsair is pretty good competition despite the looser memory timings they are advertised to run at. This makes selection based on advertising and the manufactureres information even more difficult. That is why I rely on sites like the Bleedin edge.

I personally tested both memory and can attest that the Corsair XMS3700's CANNOT run 2-2-2-5 . . . .

Their results are skewed. . . .


Let's wait and see what BT finds out with his sticks. . . . .

My OCZ 3700's, 2 * 256MB, I can obtain 2-3-3-6 up to DDR500 on 2.85V ROCK SOLID.

Anything above that requires 2.5-3-3-7 @ 2.85V. . . . . . Max stable is DDR520. . . .


When I tested the Corsairs 3700's, the only memory timings I could obtain were 3-4-4-8 and they failed at DDR504. . . .
