Fatbody RAM on ebay

ram description says

Data Rate: PC2-4200 (533 Mhz), 1.8 Volts, CL4

that should be able to boot

here is my old test with some OCZ fats on DS3

~450MHz 4-3-3-3 2.2v is not too bad actually

I did try that but no luck. I tried all kinda of combinations of voltage, timings, single channel, dual channel and even a couple of different SPD flashes and still not once did they boot in my P5B-D. They did work in a DS3 though but because the DS3 have a known issues with micron D9 ic's I couldn't get them to reach DDR2 1000mhz even with loose timings and max volts which I think is 2.4 on the DS3.

I think its the PCB somehow causing the incompatibility with Asus boards. I doubt the ic's have anything to do with it but I could be wrong.

I hope you guys have better luck than I did.:)

DS3 worked with OCZ fatbody RAM i tested....800 ratio was key to getting them going

looks like a mate of mine's decided to clean up on these fattys ;) :D

Looking forward to hearing how everyone does with these...unfortunately I just couldn't get a single one to work for me.

Damn him!! :P *looks around suspicously*

What I was saying with the Brainpower is that there's more than one kind....

Not all are created equally and I can confirm that's *not* the best one in visual comparisons to my Mushkin ES stick.....that little symbol bottom right is making me think it might not even be BP, but it does look like the general layout of my BP, with a variety of differences.

Almost all incompatibilities will be due to SPD....my stick worked perfectly on a P5B-D, many P5W DHs, and an XBX.....others are reporting that it won't work at all on various 965 boards, so something's up.

For what its worth, when I had my 6 sticks I made a close inspection of the PCB, comparing it to others that I have. There were no markings of any kind that would indicate BrainPower, nor were there any visial resemblances.

If they are BP, then the identification is well hidden.

I'm drawing a blank....anybody know whose symbol that is? It's on the sticks....

you mean dingo :slap: :D

I've bought a pair of them before the seller wrote in his auction that they were FATBODY :D
I've payed for 2x1gb 165$ including shipping to italy..
I will mix them with Ds3...hope reaching good ocking results..
Will tell you when i'll get them (probably tomorrow)

Wow walter and dinos you have been hit hard by the disease that inflicts us all :D

I believe the code on the ram chip is D9DQW.
Isn't this one of the good bins other than D9DQT ?!

:confused:

I wanna know if these work in p5b and evga 680i. And of course I want to know some results. I wouldnt be surprised to see these sticks not performing very well due to their low bin and generic pcb's. However I could be very wrong.

I´ve picked 2 modules for a friend. We´ll test it on my P5B Deluxe first so i hope this week i can show some results :)

Mine were supposed to be delivered on sat but USPS are retarded and couldnt leave at house, so they forwarded it to my po box... (same building as truck goes out from) and it still hasnt arrived there.

Fabulastic. Let me/us know asap. :)

Has anyone here actually got this kit and sucessfully tested (or even booted :P) these fattys? The guys selling a couple everyday but none of you got the RAM yet?

Weird :confused:

lol thats what ive been waiting for.i want to see some ocs.
