2.5-4-4-7 DDR500 at stock volts.

Should I go for them?

TIA.

check the chip list, if they have good chips go for it if the price is right...

The heatsink is in the way... and he's not willing to take it off :(

D40PB12C is the specific model.

Did some looking but I found no mention of it being TCCC, TCCD, TCC5, BH5 or Micro chips..
i wouldn't risk it...

Thanks. I know, I did the same searching.

Well, they run DDR500 at stock volts and they cost me 150 bucks, it doesn't seem to be a bad deal...

PS: You mentioned TCCC... I thought TCCC was crap, I can get some TCCC memory for cheaper.

I just tried them...

They didn't go higher than 225Mhz at 2.5CL... sucks big time.

I didn't buy them.
