Team Xtreem PC2-4200 CL3

[ANP !!!]

Are these sticks any good ?

http://www.tankguys.com/product_info.php?cPath=46_144_147&products_id=1805&osCsid=4fef37f70d321671c26abac74769146b

The PC2-5400 ones seem to be out of stock everywhere, So this seems to be the next best choice, anyone have these RAM ? do they OC the same as the PC2-5400 ones ??



Thanks a Lot in advance.

[Peter Burg]

Why shouldn't they be good? They've got D9GMH chips, go get them :)

[Hutch]

I ordered them on Thursday morning but my order is still 'processing.' My card was charged on Thursday and their policy states that they won't charge your card until your order has been shipped. No updates, no e-mails answered, no tracking #, nothing. I'm really pissed off about it.

[geoffsthaboss]

when ya get em let us know how they turn out, im thinking about getting some as well

[ANP !!!]

Yea, Let us know how they perform.

Also Tankguy stated they are using D9GCT now, instead of D9GMH.

where did you get that info?

When I ordered it, the description stated that they were D9GMH. They better not be D9GCT.

[Hutch]

I've still got no response and my order still says processing! This has to be the worst customer service I've ever seen in my life! My card was charged on the 24th when I placed the order (in the early am) and I've recieved no status updates whatsoever. I've sent 4 e-mails and none have been returned. If they shipped my package when they charged my card like their policy states then I would've had my package on saturday. Instead, It's tuesday and they haven't even shipped it out yet! They don't even have a phone # to call.

[mad_skills]

Good sticks, great o/c potential, D9GMH chips, nice choise.:up:

[Gogeta]

I just tried to locate a phone number for TankGuys with both Goog-411 and normal (fee-based) 411 and neither was able to resolve a phone number for the business name or address listed on their site for Pinckney, MI.

The RAM selection they offer is impressive, but unless they step up their customer service in a big way, I'll steer very clear.

[MINIz guy]

Yes, please post how well these sticks perform. Since their 667MHz model has been on backorder for quite a while, these seem to be the best choice for my price range.

[Hutch]

I still haven't heard back from them and my order is still 'processing.' It's been six days since I placed the order and six days since my card was charged. I've sent a total of 5 e-mails over the past 5 days, one each day and nothing. My order status hasn't changed, no e-mail response, and of course no package or fedex missed delivery slips. This is getting ridiculous...

Sorry for late reply,

[Edit]
So I ordered this RAM
Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820144119)
from the user reviews of these and PC2-8500 ones, they seem to be hitting 1200+ with 2.1v. What do you guys think ?

so are those evo 1s GMHs?

[Hutch]

Ok I got a response from Tankguys. Apparently it's not their fault for the delay. They submitted the order with Team on the 24th also and haven't heard back from them. Supposibly they've been having problems with Team lately.

I'll let you all know how they run when I get them. I'll be testing them on my Biostar TP35D2-A7 + E6400. I know the board is good for atleast 1200mhz cas 5, as I've hit those speeds with Ballistix, which are basically dead now. They are so far gone it's not even funny. I need 2.23V just to get them to boot and they won't run faster than 667mhz 5-5-5-15 anymore.

[zanzabar]

those are the old ones, the ones on there now are a custom order, they also wernt 8 layer pcbs in 06

Seems like GMH to me, anyone had any experience with GeiL ??

if one was to place an order did they give you a date when things will be sorted out and you could expect your order to be filled?

[Amey]

Those Geils are mostly Elpida if i am not mistaken.

[ANP !!!]

^^ I ordered it already, If its bad, If its Elpida, I will sell it and get the Team PC2-4200.

[mad_skills]

Geil Black Dragons and Evo's are Elpida based ic, only Micron based ( and those are D9GCT ), are Ultra Plus modules.

[geoffsthaboss]

bit OT but about the new g.skill pi series, anyone know what in 'em?

[ANP !!!]

Geil Black Dragons and Evo's are Elpida based ic, only Micron based ( and those are D9GCT ), are Ultra Plus modules.

But from the user reviews, they seem to be hitting 1200 with ease, Maybe I am mistaken :(.

[mad_skills]

I wasn't denying anything, i was just referring to what ic they have.:up:

[ANP !!!]

If this sticks can hit 1200 with low volts I am more then happy ;).

Thanks for the information Mad_skills. Are Elpida capable of hitting 1200mhz ?

[mad_skills]

You won't feel much difference if they hit 1150MHz and not 1200MHz, but you will try never the less, no problem man, good luck.:up:

[ANP !!!]

Thanks :up:

I will report back how they perform when I get them.

[ANP !!!]

Alright guys, I have put on hold my Order, so I have some time to modify it, Any other RAM worth considering ??

[mad_skills]

Same price range, also 2Gb kit?

[ANP !!!]

Below $75 if possible, and only 2GB, since 4GB isnt of any use to me.

[mad_skills]

Perhaps you can check this out, standard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146565) or the Tracer (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148076) ones, both are around 60$. The sole problem is that you might get the single-sided ones that aren't as good overclocker as are the old double-sided modules...

[zanzabar]

its a 100% chance of single sidded now

[mad_skills]

Probably you're right, but then again, for that amount of money he can hardly find something better and new, or he can try and search the adds for something of a jackpot...:D

Yea, I was aware of the new Single Sided Ballistix, too sad they ruined their Ballistix lineup that were used to be the best OCing RAM available. :(.

I've hit 1000mhz 3-4-3-8 with single sided Ballistix on my P965-S3... Only needed 2.81V too.

[ANP !!!]

Only 2.81v ? :eek:

[mad_skills]

@Hutch That's nice score man, my Team Xtreem for 4-4-4-3 at 1200MHz needed around 2.8V, your sticks are pretty good.:up:

[natedog420]

dell.com has double sided pc 8500 ballistix right now i just got my pair they run with no problems and are double sided woohoo. little more money but you get double sided memory.

[geoffsthaboss]

i couldnt find any ballistix at dell.com...

[zanzabar]

dell.com has double sided pc 8500 ballistix right now i just got my pair they run with no problems and are double sided woohoo. little more money but you get double sided memory.

the tech specs all say that they are 128M on dell, so thats single sided

[Zucker2k]

My TX PC6400 4-4-4-10 running at 1288 with 2.4v.

[mad_skills]

Nice score man, but i was referring to CL4-4-4-3 timings for my ram, not CL5-5-5-15.;)

[Hutch]

Were pretty good! ;)

They have totally crapped the bed after about a year. They were the 512MB sticks of PC8000's. I can't get them to boot at less than 2.3V now and they won't run any higher than 667mhz 5-5-5-15!

I canceled my order for the Team Xtreem PC2-4200. Apparently the guy from tankguys can't get in touch with Team. Team never processed my order (tankguys doesn't carry the ram in stock, they have it shipped directly from the manufacturer.) After two weeks of waiting I decided enough was enough.
