G.skill F1-3200biu1-2gbhx Review & Discussion

I want your opty and next the dimm =)

Looks like ill be picking this set up.

Can HX go higher (than 250) with looser timings? (i.e. 3-3-3-8 or smthg?)

great ram.

funny that I know GS.Tech has this onlocked opty for months now, and how it happened, but still ppl keep asking everytime he posts something new. Don't you guys read the forums?

it means not overclock good

So they go i.e. 2.5-3-2-5 @ DDR500 but don't want to go higher (more than 250) with looser timings? Yes?
But with these timings: 2.5-3-2-5 they can do 240-250MHz?

Sorry that I'm a bit annoying ;) but I want to make the best possible buy

G.S Technician could you read and drop a line in this topic?: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=82662

THX in advance

I do not get it, first you post these are working great than you say they are not

How is someone supposed to make a choice?

If someone as to buy today a 2 gb kit, what would you recommend for a tight timing decent OC?

fist the ZX go bad and now you say the HX is no good. Is there any ram from G.SKILL that lasts more than a couple of months when overclocking.

better than hided and not tell to everyone :)
2GBZX is not bad! who else selling DDR400 CL2 at such low price? and still can overclock to 250

I'm replacing my 1g mushkin with F1-3200BIU2-2GBHX and another 2g later on, just wonder what voltage is good for this ram. 2.65v or 2.70? will be running fsb @ 210 to 215.
Thanks,

Finally I got 2x1Gb 2GBHX :)
Send to me as an alternative for my bad PC4400LE 2x512mB which was EOL.
I can only be happy with such a RMA job the guys in germany provided :clap:

First tests with my 2GBHX on my ASRock SLI32-eSata2.

10 x 250Mhz. memory 1:1 with the cpu
3-4-4-8 1T Vdimm 2,73 Volt
SuperPi 1M --> 34 sec.
SuperPi 32M --> 27m34 sec.
Sandra mem.benchmark 6550 / 6477
3DMark05 result --> 7686 points.

Are these memory results to be called good ?

I own a DFI Infinity RS482 with an Opteron 165 overclocked to around 2750 Mhz. 2 sticks of the 2GBHX memory.

The RS482 has some special BIOS settings that do not seem to be well-documented, and it seems documentation on the 2GBHX memory is scarce as well.

Where is the best place to go to find recommended settings/voltages for the 2GBHX ?

@ www.gskill.com offcourse :rolleyes:

Here is what I already found and used.
3-3-3-7 1T timings @ 250 Mhz. is also working very good over here. Even 3-3-2-5 1T but it doesn't give me extra bandwith with those timings so I leave them at 3-3-3-7 1T and they are running very stable that way :)

let me know the bios option so i can help (maybe :) )

Have you tested these modules on a CFX 3200 as I really need to know before I try another infineon memory on this board. The last set(not GSkill) I gave away because they were so bad. 217 mhz was max and 3d unstable. Very disappointing and I do not need that again.

They should work fine with the CFX, they are OK in my SLi-D with 704-2bta bios (orange slots)

I haven't been able to get TCL down to 2.5 at 250Mhz yet, but I've only had em a day or two. I think maybe I need an opty for it.

I've got an Opteron 148 and cas 2.5 won't work here either @ 250Mhz.
My 2GBHX is now working perfectly stable at 3-3-3-7 1T for a couple of months now on my ASRock mobo, 11 x 250Mhz :)
Even 3-3-2-5 1T is possible but it didn't give me a higher bandwidth so I left them at 3-3-3-7 1T
