Hehehe...it's the Corsair Dominator PC8500 DDR2 1066 5-5-5-15 2.1v Rev1.1 4GB kit.
Here's the story why I've changed my ram.
I'm an overclocker who just overclock to meet the decent performance for daily usage.
Previously I was running 2GB of Team Xtreem PC6400 CL4 + 2GB of Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC6400 Cl4 and Intel C2D E8400 @ 450mhz X 9. Since it was 4 sticks of ram,
it's needed to pump a bit of vdimm to them stabilized.
So I've pumped to 2.0vdimm to run 4 of them.... After few months of usage, roughly 4-5 months, One of the Crucial has died. I tried to run 3 sticks, it can't operate.
So I just stick only with Team for a moment.
I found 2GB Ram for my daily usage is seriously not enough, and I'm thinking of upgrading.
But the horrible price of another pair of 2GB team xtreem pc6400 CL4 just turned me off.
You know what ? It cost Rm300 for a new pair. LOL !!!
I know it's D9 guaranteed but I think I'm not gonna pay for the premium price.
So I decided to sell my team ram yes and it is sold within few days, with relatively cheap price =.=... In the mean time, I saw an 4GB OCZ Reaper HPC PC8500 ram for Rm400.
The price satisfied me in that time. But since the online seller was offed to holiday for 1 week ,
my patient can't hold me even the seller will be back in few days.
I was searching around the forum, I just saw this second hand corsair ram for sale.... and the price was reasonable since it's 1.1revision.
I know it's a good overclocker and 100% suits my not-super-extreme-daily-usage-setting, and after that I bought it without any hesitation. It cost me Rm380 by the way.
I've an online friend told me, even the Crucial ram rated 2.0v on their ram, due to the 4-layer PCB, it still can't handle 2.0vdimm on daily usage. Until I tried this, I only realized and believed.
I buy the crucial at first because it's cheap, just for Rm110 but don't have warranty since there is no more Heat spreader on it.
Just in case you don't know how my crucial ram looks like.
and my ex Team Xtreem
Lastly, my advice is, NEVER buy Crucial ram. They sucks. That's it.
