Corsair Value Select RAM

[mike_w]

I was looking at some Corsair Value Select RAM, but I noticed that they had a CAS of 3. Everywhere else I have looked, such as Komplett, states that it is CAS2.5. So is Scan correct and they are CAS3, or are they actually CAS2.5?

Thanks

I have a gig of that it one of my machines and it's 2.5 without a doubt. Got mine from Ebuyer, not sure if there are different versions of it but mines 8-3-3-2.5 by default but I have it running at 5-2-2-2.5.

Is that 2.5-2-2-5 running at stock volts on 200FSB ? Or overclocked while maintaining those timings ?

Seems pretty impressive, and a little pointless to go for Corsair XL series if the only difference in timings (at stock speeds) will be 2.5 as compared to 2.

Generally, the value ram series I have owned in the past (Geil/Twinmos/Corsair/Adata) hit abt 230FSB tops with 2.85v @ 2.5-3-3-6 which aint all that bad.

That's 2.85v at 200FSB, they do have heatspreaders on them though.

Not bad for 100 odd quid i say, though I havent seen a lot of people hitting those timings. Its usually the Ras to Cas value which lets it down most of the time.

I work for scan, before anyone starts correcting me i have read the posts here about the Cas on the value select being 2.5, however i bought some last week and it clearly states on the actual modules that they are PC3200 Cas 3 i have clocked it to 2.5 anyway but as standard they come as Cas 3.
