I don't know for sure, but that really wouldn't surprise me. Many people pushed the 3-4-4-8 sticks up to 1000mhz at pretty tight timings.Quote:

wow quick response :PQuote:

Looking forward to OPB writeup or update to this thread :)
my 3-4-4-8 2gb kit is doing 800mhz with 3-3-3-x with 2.2v on my bad axe in the 1066 strap, so I'd imagine the 3-3-3-8 kit doing that without issues
I just got my sticks... no heatspreaders? I mean, I'd honestly rather NOT have them, but still, all the images and everyone's I've seen has heatspreaders! It still has the official seals and stickers and all. What does this mean?
if you look at the start of the thread, most of the sticks don't have the heatspreaders. better cooling:banana:Quote:

OPB's Signature is worth more than the heatspreaders.
I can run 238 FSB, and They will not really do CAS 3 @ that speed on just 2.15v.Quote:

If your board is voltmodded they will do that fine.
I can run 3-2-1-0 @ 350 mhz.
Keep in mind that I run 4gb, not 2 :)
Finally tried out these sticks and it seems stick #2 is bad. Tried booting soley with stick #1 and it booted perfectly, wont even post with #2 in the system.
With 2.2V, I'd say DDR2-800 @3-3-3 is 100% guarranteed. I've put a small fan blowing air off the sticks and tried 2.4V, and got the following. :D

For some reason, I can't go higher than 550MHz (DDR2-1100) even with 5-5-5. Well, it does boot but not stable for 32M. Any idea? Is there something I have to look in the BIOS? (P5W-DH)
P.S. TankGuys, I wanted to ask you about E6300s and E6400s via PMs. Are you expecting them at the same time you get E6600s/E6700s? Or later time?
I'm also very interested in that as well :fact:Quote:

That's all I know :( I have no ETA from them, I don't know if all the chips from the order will ship at the same time, or even from the same location. We may get them all on the same day, or they may trickle in over a week or two. This is all stuff I'm not sure about, nor do we have any control over it. So it's a guessing game at this point, unfortunately. We've done everything we can to ensure we get them - now it's up to the supply chain :D
Oh it's not a question about ETA. As we know, there were some leacked X6800s on sale in the past weeks. There is a rumour that Intel will ship E6600s/E6700s first, then maybe a few weeks later E6300s/E6400s. I am curious how valid this rumour is.
Oh yea, I get what you mean. I'm not sure about that either, but I'll check with my people tomorrow and see what I can scare you for you :)
I hope they all ship equally or ill be forced to get a e6600 :nono:Quote:

WHOA! :eek: Is that already for sale? :D Gotta get that one and beat the living :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: of my E6600 :D LOL :DQuote:

Only difference is OPB sticker and different rating :)
Werent these 187 before? Any plan for price to drop down soon? Cause I have these babies just sitting in cart waiting to be ordered in second window..
The ddr2 1000 version of these sticks are also there for a few bucks more, is it worth it?
They were, but are no longer made or available. I just left them visible due to all the inbound links, so people weren't just sent to never-never land. I also raised the price to $99,999.99 so people would stop trying to order it :DQuote:

:eek: $99,999.99 for 2GB of DDR2 :eek: hahah :p: Those 3-3-3-8 sticks are looking good right now. Wish i had some more money :mad:
DDR2-800 3-3-3? 100% guaranteed? BS.Quote:

3) We'll see how the new stick does when I get it back from RMA (btw, Team has a great RMA service), but since the one stick can't do much past rated speeds, it won't make a difference anyway....
Point is, DDR2-800 3-3-3 is absolutely not a guarantee.
If someone clicks buy I'd go out of my way to get a set for them if I were you ;)Quote:
