Which memory overclocks better?

which memory is the better overclocker?

Mushkin HP PC2-6400 HP2-6400

Team Xtreem Dark Series PC2-6400
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...%20Group%20Inc.

the system is a C2D e6400 in a gigabyte ds3.

hmm i would choose the team xtreem.

thats my take. their timings usually are more aggressive and work nicely with the C2Ds.

There isn't a given on which one will OC better, it all depends on your setup and such. IMO, The Mushkin will serve you well, but if anything I'd grab some corsair or OCZ.

Agreed, but I'm sure you already know that Ty

I think the Team Xtreem stuff would be your best bet as it has tighter timings and is more likely to be better chips. Like the Micron D9GMH chips found on much of the rest of their similarly spec'd line, which is what I have and they seem to be very versitile. Mine hit 500MHz and stock timings at ~2v no problems at all and I would be willing to bet a good amount of money they have plenty more headroom.

LOL. Of course I know that but I'm talking about the memories overclocking potential not the overall system.

Remember that it's a DS3. I heard that there are some issues with using the ds3 and Micron D9 chips.

That's why I restated it

I'd still vouch for the Mushkin, but I'm outnumbered in this one and blake would know more than me so

I've never even heard of Team Xtreem memory. Much less used it.

Mushkin is a known entity in my experience.

its going to be hit and miss either way....both kits are only rated to PC2-6400, anything over that is gravy.....and every kit and system is different.
You also have to take into consideration the batch, etc......so other than looking at listed specs, there is no way to guarantee one kit being better than the other

Thanks guys. I'm going to go with the mushkin kit. More convenient at this time.
