I definitely have to try that. Yesterday, after doing successful Vdimm mod to my TPower, I accidently fried them with 3,2v. :rofl:

How do I find out if my ram has Micron D9 chips, specifically GTR/GTS?
look at the DDR3 ramlist at i4memory.com
Wow, awesome. Thanks!Quote:

If I try to tighten the timings to 4-4-4-12 the best I've been able to get so far is 470 Mhz on 2.1v. I was trying to get 534 mhz with 4-4-4-12 timings and doesn't look like its possible, was getting blue screens when trying to boot right up to 2.3v and thats all Im willing to give it. I've got 2 gb of Dominator 8500 with powerchips that doesn't do half as good as the axeram, its good to have as backup though!
I ordered a 2gb kit of Cellshock 8000 cl4 ram from Ireland the other day, I couldn't find this anywhere in the US but hoping this can do a little better than the AxeRam.
I have 2 kits of the CellShock 8000 CL4. It does 550 CL4 @ 2.25v and 650 CL5 on 2.2v. I run them 24/7 at 534 5-5-4-12 @ 1.94v. You'll probably really like them.
Ready stock HERE-54.50 EUR+ (5-10 EUR)delivery
That sounds great, looking forward to trying it out! I got turned on to the Cellshock reading this thread.Quote:

I'll post back with my overclocking results with the cellshock when they get here.
Thats exactly where I bought mine! They didn't waste any time shipping it out either they sent it out right away. Probably going to take a while to get here from Ireland though.Quote:

there are 2 different ones
D9GMH
8500 5-5-5-15 2kits of 1G x 2
D9GKX
8000 4-4-4-10 2kits of 1G x 2
I'm more in to the 8000 but I heard somewhere that D9GMH is better than D9GKX. which one of these 2 could be the best choice as for performance
hers my 8000 cl4 @2.2v.http://i37.tinypic.com/2ldxkp.jpg UPDATE pl8http://i38.tinypic.com/e7o3ki.jpg
Wow Radaja those are some impressive numbers!
kimchupa: thats a good question, I'm tempted to order a set of the 8500 to see which does better myself. I went 8000 because
I already have a set of GMH ram with my Transcend AxeRam, but I have a feeling the cellshock would do a lot better.
I have a question for you guys - you seem to rate the info provided by the Ramlist at i4memory, for Corsair Dominator it says:
PC2-8500C5D DOMINATOR Rev 1.1 & 1.2 & 1.3 : 5.0-5-5-15 @ 2.2V : Micron D9GMH (B6-3) Handpicked or Micron D9GKX (B6-25E) Handpicked
over in the discussion thread on these sticks they concluded that the only 2Gb chips available are Powerchips, so what are my RAM chips - D9's?
What dominators do you have? If they are 2 x 1GB Rev 1.1/1.2/1.3 then yes, they're D9 GMH or GKX.
yup butQuote:

Cheers - think I found my answer at Corsair Support (House of Help) :
CM2X1024-8500C5D/F
........................XMS850X v1.X...MICRON.........64Mx8...Rev.D (2.2 Volts)
........................XMS850X v2.X...Qimonda........64Mx8...70Nm (2.1 Volts)
........................XMS850X v3.X...Elpida............64Mx8...(2.2 Volts)
........................XMS850X v4.X...PSC..............128Mx8 (2.1 Volts)
TWIN2X4096/CM2X2048-8500C5DF
........................XMS850X v1.X...PSC...............128MX8
I have 2 sets of CM2X2048-8500C5DF = 8Gb - they run fine @ 1066. Have not tried to OC yet as I have a Phenom Black Ed.
Darnit, MemoryC dropped the prices significantly on the Mushkin XP2 9200 kit and the Redline 8000 kit...but they're out of stock :mad:
That's unfortunate, but we all know that Corsair is not great overclocking ram, even their D9 stuff. Either their QC is not as good as other companies like old ballistix or CellShock or something else, but the only really decent Corsair was the PC-10000 sticks. Corsair rarely do 600+ and the best sticks usually top out at ~675. Poor performance and much higher price make them bad choice.Quote:

I told her that daddy is going to upgrade her computer with some nice pretty dominator ram! So now I have two sets of GMH axeram to play with. The only thing is when running all four sticks on my P5Q Pro it is no longer stable with 1.30 nb volts, all the way up to 1.40v which is as far as I've tested so far.
i just bought redline 8000 from memoryc on sunday, shipped out today.are they any good? i bought them mainly cause they were on sale,newegg has the same set for more than twice the price.what kind of chips do they have?
Haha, the psychology of parenthood. Just paint the ram pink, she'll love it ;)Quote:

They are ok, should do ~1120, maybe 1130. I think they use PSC IC's.Quote:

So you were the rascal that snapped up the Redlines!:mad: I'm pretty sure that kit uses D9GMH if they're the same as these.Quote:
