tempting... but i already have 13GB's of ram... ugg
thx for the heads up tho, seriously thinking about it. I only have 3GB of fatbody... 6GB of fatbody wouldnt hurt much.
I am guessing since CORSAIR isnt having a lot of RMA's on the micron stix that they are releasing inventory held for RMA.
:eek: Gimme some... :stick:
30 left... Man not sure if I should go for them or not :(
does it overclock as well with 4x512mb?
If these are as good if not better than the 8000 UL counterpart, then the answer is YES. Because I can do 1000Mhz 4-3-2-4 @ 2.45vdimm with my 8000ULs.Quote:

my 5400UL V1.2 can do 1.08 ghz cas 4-3-2-1 at 2.45 volts.
a note for anyone interested.
I've had 4 sets of these rams, 2 sets of the 8000UL, 2 sets of the 5400UL, they all stop responding to voltages at about 2.65 volts.
these arent ram that will just get better and better if you put 2.8 volts into them or something.
for daily use though, they are great if you can live with 2.4 volts.
Don't the 8000UL's generally scale better at 4-3-3-x? I too had 1080 at about 2.5v on 5400UL's, but 4-3-3-x got them nothing, and 1100 seemed to be impossible, no matter how loose timings got or how high voltage went. :shrug: IIRC, the 8000's should get closer to 1150, but only at 4-3-3 or higher, and usually don't scale well at 4-3-2-x.
Might be worth noting, IMHO, rev 1.3 and 1.5 of 5400UL's are far less than spectular...GMH should be able to beat those revs easy. Cross your fingers for 1.2's on these.
for the 8000UL, its definatly easier to OC them with cas 433 then it is with cas 432. they do 432 just fine, but dont remain completly stable. the 5400UL v1.2 does fine at 432 regaurdless of the speed.
mine top out at about 1140 mhz.
of all the UL I've had, I only kept my 5400UL V1.2.
the 8000UL's are great, but if you can get 5400UL V1.2 then they are better.
I only need 1 set of 2x512 ram, so I sold mine to my friends.
I doubt newegg would have this many V1.2's at this point....
Most likely V1.3 or 1.5.......but if they are V1.2's buy them all...:D
Most likely will be v1.5. The single stick of 5400UL I got 2 weeks ago with the 8000UL is v1.5.
Pic shows rev 1.2 and 3-2-2-8 (as opposed to 3-3-2-8) spec. If you don't get as such, it'd at least be worth complaining to newegg about.
They really should be listing the spec in the ad, especially since it varies revision to revision.
where do you see how many are left in stock?
just add 99 to your cart and update...it will go down to how ever many they have left. looks like 27 left still right now.Quote:

This would work great for my upcoming conroe build even if it was 1.5 With an E6400 and hopefully the RD600... 4x512?
Actually mentioning the RD600 Gary Key of anandtech said that they are finalizing the bios and then Anandtech would finally be able to preview the board heh.
Specs per newegg:Quote:

I've noticed that sometimes when I follow the OP link to Newegg's product page, the Specification tab is also displayed, and other times only
Those 3-2-2-8 timings caught my eye, because if you look at just about any of the D9 fatbody listings, they all show the v1.2 to have the second set of timings you posted above (the 3-3-2-8).
Per this linked review (below), the versions earlier than v1.2 (v1.1?) were rated for 3-2-2-8 timings, whereas v1.2 and later received the more relaxed 3-3-2-8 ratings. In that case, newegg's Specs of 3-2-2-8 would infer that the product is v1.1, whereas the pic is for v1.2.
Quote from review:
According to Corsair, TWIN2X1024A-5400UL modules are one of the best DDR2 SDRAM offerings from the company. This memory is tested for operability at 675MHz frequency and with 3-3-2-8 latencies. Note that these characteristics apply only to version 1.2 TWIN2X1024A-5400UL kits (the version number is indicated on the module’s sticker). For earlier versions of its DIMM kits the manufacturer guaranteed more aggressive timings (3-2-2-8), but later they decided to worsen the characteristics a little to reduce the manufacturing cost.

As always...it will be interesting to see what actually ships (reminds me of when everyone was buying TwinMOS SP, by looking at the pics, and hoping for Winbond UTT. :) ).
Edit:
Added newegg's Specs for the product
by the time you guys start finding out what revision is there...
they probably wont be there any more...
1st person @ XS to receive 5400UL's from the EGG check V1.x on them and
pls. let us know what they are pls.......;)
I should get them nex Wednesday.Quote:

They took the page down for the single 512mb stick, so I can't be certain whether the specs on the Newegg page said 3-3-2-8 or 3-2-2-8.
What kind of results did you get from the v1.5 and does anyone know what chips it uses, if not D9s?
As a sidenote, I always print out the product page and the Specs of all parts that I purchase, whether from newegg or any other retailer, or for that matter, any item off the Classifieds (Sellers description of the item). It sometimes comes in handy.
They're def. fatty d9. I haven't had the chance to give that stick a run. I have off tomorrow, so I'll see then.
Agree, I need good 2x512:p:Quote:

The review seems to use ES sticks, so maybe even Corsair themselves hadn't finalized the spec by the time the review was printed.Quote:
