enough to get decent o/c out of e6300/6400? Thanks for the help..I am totally new to intel so I am still feeling my way around.
They use Micron D9GMH IC's, you shouldn't have too much trouble getting the ram to run over 1000mhz
G.Skill 6400HZ has D9GMH ICs which is exactly what you want.Quote:

Your ram list page updated pretty quickly roon!! ;)
I may have to go for the mushkin sticks... As long as I don't have to put a ridiculous down payment on my new car insurance plan :(
Here's a close up of the IC's

Of course, mushkin did their own custom writing on the chips...
What do you mean?Quote:

You might add extra 30$ and get the CellShock for better OC at lower voltages

is D9GKX better than D9GMH?
Yes slightly better however both can reach the same speeds, more over some of the top of corsair Dominator uses GMHQuote:

Can anybody confirm this? :clap:
And is it wise to buy RAM now if you have the chance to wait a month?
That is correct. Actually it's already starting to drop slightly. See DRAMeXchange and these articles at DigiTimes:Quote:

The handpicked D9GMH sticks are back on newegg for $269.99... Yea, I think you know what sticks im talking about!!!!!!!!! Black PCB with those awesome blue heatspreaders ;) ;)
I'll be ordering a couple sets soon... if anyone overseas needs some ;) ;)
So Mushkin playing with us
Can every one show me a copy of the email he got
Her is mine with a picture of the product code
996533 is black plack I believe... I asked publicly on the mushkin support forums so everyone could see..
That means it Is not newegg faults it is mushkin faults
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...7&d=1170145317
And that is pissing me off :mad: :mad: :mad:
So they post on their website that it is indeed Micron, they guarantee that it is definitely Micron when you ask for it by mail.
BUT on their forum they state that it aint Micron and it are Elpida/Promos chips ...
Who to believe :confused:
Those 996533 seem the blue pack (Non Micron?:( )Quote:

I don't want to change any WR but I would like to run 3.6Ghz 24/7 so 900Mhz would be required.
6 options in my price range they said I could get. I'm leaning towards the G.Skill HZ but the Dominators look very cool ^^
Some are definitely Micron others are doubtfull.
Whoa, The PC8000 Buffalo firestix 1GB sticks are CHEAP...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820150042
$136.99 each stick ($273.98 for 2GB.) Aren't these sticks D9GKX?

- PC6400C4D DOMINATOR Rev 4.1 = Infineon (Rev. C)
The Patriot can either be Micron D9Gxx or Elpida AG-6E-E. Not worth taking the risk in my opinion.
G.Skill 6400 PK is ProMOS.
Corsair PC6400 has a lot of revisions. Again, only revision 1.x has Micron D9.
They've used a variety of ICs throughout revs including Elpida, Infineon, ProMOS and Nanya, but the newest (7.1) has Powerchip ICs.
So in case you want to be 100% sure in getting D9Gxx that leaves you with G.Skill 6400 HZ or the Cellshock.
Well read what r00n said firstQuote:

The 86 euro difference between the G.Skill and the CellShock is too much it will be better to use them in something else
r00n, I guess maybe it should be noted on the ramlist that so far only microcenter buffalo firestix 800's are elpida. Thanks for the list though! Helped me out a lot a few months ago
I don't think Buffalo would only send Elpida-based memory to MC and not to other webshops.Quote:

My pleasure. :)Quote:

I think it's pretty shady that only Microcenter is selling the Firestix PC6400 w/ Elpida IC's... Especially when someone from Buffalo USA came on here and stated that these sticks haven't changed IC's... Microcenter is running some sketchy business if you ask me.
haha microcenter is a really big company though. You've been to the one in cambridge I'm assuming. That's the only one I've been to myself. I really doubt something underhanded is going on. But still, it's strange. If anything, it might mean buffalo is sending elpida versions to some other companies except for newegg so far.
To whoever posted a shot of the elpida buffalo, could you also post the sticker on there? Maybe there's a way to identify it.
Mine are definately Elpida and heres a shot of the sticker.

I need some advice guys. I have an E6600 and the Bad Axe 2 motherboard. I'm not trying to do any crazy overclocking, but if I could run stable at 3.2-3.6, then I'm happy. What memory do you recommend? I'm looking at 2GB
Sorry for the late reply
Very busy with my final exams
What budget?
not more than $260 probablyQuote:

Crucial Ballistix 667mhz 3-3-3-12
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Custra...82E16820146567
Uses Micron D9 however I think the HK is the better choice. It seems the Gskill sticks with promos are hitting higher speeds than these.
Wintec Ampx PC8000 $289 at newegg all reports I've seen have shown D9GKX!!!
so this is a better choice than the G.Skill then? Like I said, I won't do extreme overclocking, if I can run my E6600 stable 24/7 at 3.4-3.6, then I'm goodQuote:

Dinos22 - I wouldnt touch anything from ebay... lol
I can't be completely sure, I've only found 2 reviews and both were in chinese. Both said D9GKX however. The review was testing the fastest ram @ 400mhz 3-3-3 timings... they did all the reviews of the ram at this speed so I didn't see any max oc's but any ram doing 3-3-3 timings @ 800mhz easily is more than likely D9... I'm gonna shoot wintec an email and see what they say.
Horatiub - You only need 400mhz FSB to achieve 3.6ghz on an E6600. You can run your ram at 400mhz so basically any PC6400 kit would do. The Gskill being $50 cheaper is a MUCH better option. The gskill kit has had only good reviews and they are all VERY recent reviews. Get the gskills, you won't be disappointed.
yeah not a new guy for sureQuote:

Actually, I believe it is ProMOS ("pro-moss", pronounced like cmos?) though I can't tell you much about the IC technically. I've been researching it a bit recently but, naturally, most discussion is about the D9s. I haven't come across much discussion of these chips.Quote:

This will make it into the Mem review I am doing.
I also ordered those wintec ampx. We shall see how they stack up.
what about adding some of the awesome clocking promos? there has to be a reasonably priced 2x1gb kit out there that will clock pretty well...
thanks for the D9 list with the prices :D
I dont think so , not a chance with that price could be GMH(i might be wrong :) )Quote:

Irev210,
Back up in post #251 you refereced a kit you just recenlty got from newegg as being D9GMH capable of 540Mhz at 4-4-4-5 up on 2.45v. Well despite reading back through the thread a bit I wasn't able to find out what modules your talking about, could you please let me know what modules you were talking about? Also can't wait until you get those Wintec Ampx sticks as I'll be pretty impressed/suprised if their really GKX IC's! If they are indeed D9s (GMH/GKX) then I'll defeintly pick up a kit ASAP!
so for sure I should go with the Crucial 667 instead of the G.Skill 800? I just wanna make sure I'm getting what I need. Like I said, I have the E6600 and looking to go stable at 3.6Quote:
Originally Posted by kemo6600

The G.Skill is a great kit and I can’t say anything bad about it but you know Micron is Micron it is always what we are looking for, with the G.Skill from the first boot you can run 1:1 @ 400fsb with the ram advertised specs on the other hand with the Crucial you need to tweak it manually you could raise voltage and run DDR800 C3 or relax timings and run DDR800 C4 whatever you wantQuote:

;)
You know Warbler13 I had the same feeling! There are only a few reviews and their not good ones! With that said I usually take the reviews at newegg with a grain of salt because I don't think many people who review hardware are all that knowledgable about memory, overclocking, etc...? Although I really like my modules I've been looking into getting another 2GB kit to play with (Ideally I'd like a kit of GKX, but so would everyone else), lol! While reading through some of the memory reviews last night at newegg I was thinking about how great it would be if reviewers all posted what IC's their RAM used but that probably goes above and beyond most peoples ability?

i was talking about the mushkins for 237.99 A/R
I ordered two sets, both shipped from the NJ brick warehouse and were D9GMH on brainpower PCB.
I just got lucky. I got "binned down" D9GMH that didnt make the cut for their higher end ram. So those that ordered from the last batch have a good chance of getting D9GMH.
The ram is OOS now though :( Next batch will probably be PROMOS, i'd stay away.
First of all thanks for replying, much apprecaited! With that said were you taking a chance purchasing that Mushkin RAM (not knowing that it would be binned down GMH)? Or did you have a pretty good idea it was Micron? In anycase I'm glad you got lucky, hopefully their run decent despite being a bit binned down!
So did you happen to get your Wintec kit yet and if so did you pull the spreader? Of course their out of stock now but I'm still very curious what their running for chips! Last but not least, what does OOS mean? Thanks again for you help and time!
you got a new Private massageQuote:

Bachus,
In the linky that Wildcat posted the "RAM Guy" posted the following,
Is that really true, it seems to me from observation that some D9XXX IC's bin higher than others on a very regular basis (hence why many high-end kits use specific D9XXX IC's over others)? Then again maybe he means that as far as Corsairs is concerned it doesn't matter because they do a more thorough binning than they get at the vendor? That would make more sense because I think most people would agree that to some extent it does matter what is printed on the IC? Inany case thanks for your help and time.Quote:
Q?:Anyway it is possible to post Micron part numbers i.e. D9DCT, D9GMH, D9GKX, etc. on the high-end stuff? Dominator and XMS2 6400C3's specifically?
A:These are just sort codes all D9 IC's are the same and since we do our own sorts they are not valid. All of IC's are pre-tested by us before we mount them in many cases Micron will just send us the IC's un-sorted even thou they are marked.
That’s how we ask for them because our sorting process is more thorough then what Micron does, or any IC maker for that fact!

I think Corsair main concern is testing, if the ram can do PC10000C5 then it is fine, cannot they test it @ PC8888C4 and so on it really doesn’t matter for them which IC is used they sell you the advertised speed also Corsair been using lots of GMH lately it is hard to find any GKX it was always found in the good old famous 6400C3 (I think they are not making it any more)Quote:

@kemo6600
I noticed that your first page of this thread has not been updated since 25/11. Perhaps there was nothing significantly new since then, but since this thread is such a wealth of info for people looking for best bang for the buck (OCers), I wonder if the G. Skill PK and HK would be candidates for the under $250 category which is clearly lacking in listings.
I would add that I am not in anyway shape or form connected with G. Skill or their products.
Both PK and HK are OOS at the egg at this time.
I do however want to purchase another 2GB of DDR2 6400 for another Conroe gig with my XBX2.
Based on your comments, Crucial 667 is also at the top of my list.
:cool:

Your welcome shimmishim
Has anyone been over to newegg recenlty (since yesterday) and browsed through Crucials Ballistix modules? Well there looks to be a major change in their modules, besides the Tracers (PC2-8000) none of the sticks have heatspreads? Even the modules I recenlty purchased (PC2-8000 Ballistix w/Yellow HS) have no heatsink? If anyone has some information please post ASAP! I have a feeling it's just a "file photo" because they use the same picture for all modules, plus the actual IC's on the RAM pictured looks more retangular than D9's but I could certainly be wrong. Anyway here's a linky,
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820146563
On a separate note there seems to be a new kit at newegg from Corsairs which is very expensive at $463! Even though it's only PC2-6400 is the reason it's so expensive because its' rated at CAS3 or am I missing something? Thanks guys, here is the linky,
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145165
FOR the first note, looks like newegg is offering crucial striptease show all modules Naked by taking a look at the picture provided it could be fat bodies but any way they are not related to the modules , we will wait and see
Second note C3 dominator is expensive because it is in the same league as any DDR1000C4 and comes with a cooling fan
Thanks Kemo very much! When I said that the pictured modules looked more rectangular I was hinting towards FatBodies but aren't the chances that their actualy FB's? I'm very curious to know this but not curious enough to spend $312, lol! I friend of mine over at guru3d bought his PC2-8000 Ballistix shortly after they were released and they were genuine FatBodies! Maybe Crucial was running low on D9GMH's IC's and pulled out an old batch of FB's (we can dream right), lol!
2X1GB fat bodies are hard to find probably your friend bought 2X512 PC8000 but not a chance to find fatties this days , personally I prefer GKX over fat bodies
My dream is sub 200$ GKX with that Cheap phase cooling they are talking about in the news section
lol
@kemo6600
Thanks for your response. Needless to say I read this thread before buying any more memory.
Roger_D25
I was wondering the same thing. Crucial prices have not dropped at all. Corsair has $40 rebate on their XMS , so their price is very competitive. But, how do I hate rebates.
I have had several Corsairs sets. Their outstanding testing left very little headroom for OCers unhappily.
phase change on ram? wtf? I thought D9's run into a cold bug around -15c
hey kemo6600 any chance on knowing what those buffalo firesticks are running these days??
someone from buffalo came on here saying they were still d9's, but there were two cases of people buying them from microcenter and getting elpidas, so they're probably in the mix as well. no other reports other than from mc though so far
LOL the first part of the dream is not related to the second part and I do want a 200$ phase cooling because I was considering 300$ TECQuote:

To be specific the ram is assembled in US and that guy works there and he says that he has never seen non D9s on those firesticks and it could be mislabeled then disappeared and I didn’t get a response for the last PMQuote:

sweet! sub $300 D9GKX
Great I was totally wrong about that kit
BTW the G.Skill PC8000HZ DDR 1000 Cas4 back in the egg for 300$
http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16820231077
But I don’t know if it still GKX or switched to GMH, GCT
Now I have to take a look @ the egg and I will come back today
Newegg updated few crucial pictures but still they show the PC8000 heat spreaders and the PC5300 still naked
Look again, I bet you looked at the PC5300 Cas 5 sticks that are still naked, as they should be. THEY DROPPED THE PRICE EVEN MORE on the ballistix 667mhz 3-3-3-12!!!Quote:

Yes i know that but that is becasue they are priced @ 269$ did not lock @ the timinngs , The PC5300 Cas 3 showing the same heat spreaders as the PC8000 as well as the PC6400 , also the tracer is cheaper than the regular Ballistix PC8000 , Crucial in chaos @ the eggQuote:

Mine are last year's model; as you say, new ones might be a different D9.Quote:

Heh, don't knock the reviews (though I know what you mean), they can give you a flavour of product behaviour that, with 10 or so reviews, can tell you a lot. :)
