I have the same sticks and get 555 5-5-5-15 2:3 @ 2.35(bios).

I may have to try 4-4-4-12 @ 2.4.

Great results,looks like i'll just have to go with the reg. HZ's,the specials are as rare as rocking horse sh/t.

serial number first 4 digits i.e. 0629 = week 29, 2006, 0648 = week 48, 2006

2x sets to 533mhz 4-4-4-12 at 2.4v
1x set does 540mhz 4-4-4-12 at 2.4v

interested to know what the other 2 sets of the black PCB versions do as well

are the F2-6400PHU2 with black PCB? :confused: How do I know which ones have the Black pcb? :confused:

I NEED THIS MEMORY! :D

you mean first 3 numbers as there is no 0 before the 6 on my sticks.

Are D9GCT good clockers?

GCT are the budget D9's, binned below GMH.

Never said they weren't good, just explained what they are. ;)

yeah i know i was just pointing out that they are doing good. in the ram list the HZ are shown as GMH and i had 2 pairs go bad that didn't overclock this good at 444, but did 623mhz 5-4-4-15

The retail black editions are averaging around 1020~1067 on 975X with 2.3V and about 1110~1120 on the P965 at 2.35V (not SuperPI 1m stable, talking long term game stable). The retail sticks are only warrantied to 2.3V. There were several special edition versions of this memory sent out for "reviews" if you want to use that word. If you have the "right" P5B-D along with enough voltage to destroy the DIMMS in a few hours, you too can hit 1300. ;)

I am sorry, but the lengths that some people will go to "advertise" a product around here is getting silly. Nothing against G.Skill at all as they have excellent memory, just tired of people showing numbers that will not be attained on a 24/7 basis with products bought from retail channels. :mad:

Also, the statement about the RD600 being held due to BIOS issues is false. :fact:

Exactly what I stated the retail kits would do on a P965 board (P5B-D), some a little better, some a little worse. However, I found in order to play BF2 or Q4 online for a number of hours that the timings had to be relaxed to 5-4-4-12 on average and the memory kept at 2.35V unless you add a little cooling.

While Orthos or SuperPI stability is nice, it does not match the demands of actually running a memory intensive game, folding, or doing video/audio conversion/creation work over a period of hours or days. :)

My real point in all of this is that there are a few limited kits that are going to do 1300 and the P5B-D has to be modded to get the volts to do it. Just looking for the facts to be laid out about the test bed, settings, and the product supplied up front so people do not assume when they order this kit from NewEgg that the memory is going to hit 1300 at 2.3V. ;)

im not advertising anything, i dont work for g.skill nor DFI. Since you say what im saying is fake, prove it. There are tests for G.skill had been done by a professional media press in China, if you doubt it, contact ENET. There is also a review by SHAMINO in TAIWAN, check it yourself or at least release some tests results from what you have done. Speaking of RD600, where do you get your information? Just say what im saying is fake and that's it? go and contact DFI by yourself to see whether im wrong.

Tony told people on the forum that RD600 is ready except for heatsinks

NO bios issues so i guess he's probably referring to that

@Grim and Pie...i tried to get hold of this memory through a couple of channels,even G.gskill itself and ive had no replies.i tried Memory-configurator.com and they dont now anything about it and they are in contact with G.skill every day.
My conclusion is it's 'stealth' market recognition,these are sent to certain peeps,on different forums all over the world and pushes HZ's and gskill itself to the top of our wish lists...it's certainly great memory,as i have said in a previous post,they certainly have high rate/good quality RAM with more consistency,but it really peeves me that joe public wont see the light of day with these.
Sorry for being so political...lets enjoy the numbers. :)

I think this is the best i can do with my normal set.

550mhz 4-4-4-12 2.45v bios - 2.40v windows - 40 minutes blend orthos - Dual channel

1. I have tested both the retail kits and the "special edition" modules, both delivered from G.Skill for review. My entire point is that the normal retail kit will not reach the same levels as the special edition kits. The "special edition" kits still need around 2.6V+ to reach 1300 "24/7 stable" on the P5B-D. The P5B-D also requires the Vdimm mod in order to do it but running at that voltage will destroy the memory in less than a couple of weeks. This should not take away the fact that the retail kits are very good and are excellent overclocking modules for the money, they are just not 1300 good out of the box at the warrantied voltage of 2.3V.

2. I know the test results you posted are true (did you want to answer who actually did the testing and why memset shots are not included) but it would be nice to list out the test setup specifications and exactly how 1300 was reached with modules that will not be available widely in retail. Otherwise, a lot of people will assume the retail kits will do 1300 out of the box. They will not be pissed at you, but instead at G.Skill and that is not fair. ;) Whether or not you are advertising is up for debate, but seeing how the post was arranged and used "special edition" modules I would say it was at least on the level of a press release. :D

3. My information about RD600 is directly from DFI so I know what the truth is at this time. The latest BIOS I am using on the board is R6TDC08 with a build date of 12/07/06. :fact:

4. Shamino's last official review of G.Skill memory was on the F2-8000PHU2 (1GB, 2x512MB, ) kit that hit 1230 (edit) at 2.7V. His review also informs us of the test bed, modifications, and what he had to set his system at in order to hit each memory speed. :toast:

all settings on auto or by speed..Only settings that i changed for the ram was 4-4-4-12. here is what my memset looks like in windows without touching any settings 500mhz 4-4-4-12.
