Believe me NEVER listen to newegg reviews they are a waste of time, you don’t have to buy the product to post a review and you don’t need any evidence or proof to say whatever you want plus people lie about their tech level , a guy like me should be rated as low tech level
That would never happen here! ;)Quote:

i think all of them runs hot with that amount of volt

That Geil looks good on paper but yet havent seen any reviews
It has exactly the same specifications as the regular version with orange heatspreaders, which uses Aeneon or Elpida ICs.Quote:

the Mushkin eXtreme XP2-6400 #991523 (1GB), #996523 (2x1GB) do absolutely use micron D9 IC's, the particular flavor i cannot say.
also, the 512k and 2x512k kits of the same RAM also utilize D9 IC's.
i did quite a bit of research before purchasing and verified the IC type via phone with mushkin and via several forum conversations with mushkin staff members.
i currently own both the 1gig (2x512) and 2gig (2x1gig) kits and have had no trouble exceeding 1200mhz+ at 5-5-5-15 timings ... 4-4-4-12 is good for up to 1100mhz, while stock timings of 4-4-3-10 are good past 900mhz (i'm using them at 4-4-3-9 currently @ 900mhz).
both 1 gig and 2 gig dual kits have performed identically, although on notch up in voltage was necessary for the 2 gig kit vs. the 1 gig.
here's mushkin's page:
http://www.mushkin.com/doc/products/...ail.asp?id=350
...
i've only been able to test them on an air cooled rig ...
if i can't sell the 1 gig (2x512) kit within the next month or so, i'd be more than happy to mail them to somebody for some hardcore testing (phase system, etc.) if you'd be willing to do a write up afterward ...
Voltage range is different from Ultra...Quote:

Like I said, it is exactly the same. ;)

Geil oficial websaite is better source.
Newegg always makes confusion :confused:
Anyone know which ics are in these

i was doing some searching and i found that The Ram List has these as micron D9xxx but others have said that they are now elpida and don't overclock well anymore. I could not find a bad review for them anywhere. pls help. if they were micron D9 they would be an incredible value
From the looks of those I'd say it's Nanya.Quote:

Well, the ICs in the above picture are definitely not Elpida.Quote:

kemo that's brilliant thanks - post #22 in first thread, GS Tech says "by the way there is extra cooling (ex fan) for all above testing!" exactly lol.Quote:

i've found i shop in germany that still sell's the crucial 5300 3-3-3-3-12 memory. Those are very hard to find over here, in holland it's next to impossible. It doesn't say if it's the 10th anarversity kit or not. The ddr2 ram list however tell's me its Micron D9GMH (B6-3)(handpicked or not ) or Micron D9DQT (BT-3). Is this still true ? i've seen a couple pop up at the 600mhz and 700mhz club but are those chips still under the heatspreader ? The shop it self can only tell me its micron based memory. The price for a 2x 1 gb kit is 214.95 euro's ( dont know in dollars ) shipping however is 35 euro's.
my questions are :
1 are the good chips d9gmh or a evenly good clocking one still used on this one ?
2 for that amount of money, is it worth it and should i buy it now ? ( i still have a s754 and i'am saving up for an upgrade )
Memory prices are going to keep dropping, so it may not be worth getting them ahead of time. The crucial ballistix 5300 3-3-3-12 use micron D9GMH. They aren't the 10th Anniversary sticks, I contacted Crucial about the 10th anniversary and they were a very limited edition only offered through newegg.
but even so, they use the same chips dont they ? i'm thinking of buying a striker extreme, this memory, a celeron d( temp, till i can afford quad ) and some thermalright chipset/cpu coolers. I think i can afford to buy a quad around april. you think i should wait a while ? will the prices of the good chips go down because here in europe the onlything the prices have been doing is going up. I'm looking at the gskill 6400 hz right now, price 320 euro's. get my point ?
G.Skill HZ 1000 is still on GKX ?
I'm wondering the exact same thing... although, 1000 is 1000 ... im thinking resale value though...Quote:

There's a good chance it has D9GCT, but that isn't the worst substitute. :)Quote:

@ s1rrah
yes that is a nice D9 that seem to clock well with low voltages but still price is very high compared to the PC8500 part
