No, G.Skill 6400 PQ uses Micron D9HNL (HQ-3).
Handy list there. :D Any idea of OC potential there? (searching now...)
Just Picked A Kit Up
My kit is superb stable@ 540Mhz, 5.5.5.15, 1,89V but cannot handle 562,5Mhz. Not even with 6.6.6.18 timings and 2,1V.. That's really quaint.
All subtimings have been set [AUTO], except TRFC what has been set to 52 and tRD what has been set to 7 as far as I know by mind.
The problem isn't about not booting, or not working on windows properly. It's just about memtest and windows memory diagnostic errors. Weird stride6 erros.
Strange strange..
edit:
Some guys told me to better use devider 1:1 (=450Mhz) + 4.4.4.12 timings instead of those high frequencies. They argue that this would run better.. probably. What do YOU guys think?
Price has now dropped to $140 with FREE shipping!!

Doh!
I got tired of fighting them Micron D9's. All 4 dead.
Life after D9 is very good though because these OC just as well and they also boot up at default bios voltage!
@EnJoY
May I use your pictures of the kit for another review on another forum? I don't have a camera :/
Everytime I go to buy this, the price goes down. It's like our own little stock market...more fun than actually using it perhaps. ;P
The 1:1 Divider is always the best option, unless you are running at very very low frequency because of it. If the 1:1 divider means you are running a FSB of 450 (450x2-900mhz for DDR) Then thats a good thing. Higher FSB is always going to be a good thing. If you are running Intel and had to choose between higher frequency or lower timings then the higher Mhz is better and more important then the lower timings but higher FSB is more important then both. To be honest if you are running at a FSB of 450 you would be hard pressed to notice the difference between 900mhz or 1000mhz or 1100mhz for the DDR2 in real world applications and gaming. The % difference would be very very small. For benching of course that would be another matter, but for the real world you won't see a difference. The higher FSB will be the more important factor.
For instance I would rather run with a FSB of 450 and have to run the memory at 900mhz 1:1 then a FSB of 350 and the memory running unlinked at like 1050mhz or whatever that ratio would set it.
Also keep in mind that at over FSB of 400 things start to get somewhat unpredictable. The benches from this review at the top were run at stock from what I remember. For instance you may not be able to run at 1000mhz at a high FSB even though the memory is rated for 1000mhz-Other things start to come into play at high FSB like the MB, and the MB memory controller. I can't even post at over 490 FSB with the addition of 2 more GB of memory where before I could post at 515 FSB and 2x1 GB sticks. 490 FSB is 980mhz and thats under its rated spec, but the high FSB makes things unpredictable.
Thanks, but I have taken the G.Skills original pictures already => There you go :)
But what do you guys think about 562,5Mhz with 2,2V as 24/7 settings? Think they will manage that?
1100Mhz @ 5-6-6-17 2T 2.1v seems stable so far. Not going to push past 2.1v on these, just in case. At least not yet :-)
too bad newegg doesnt ship worldwide, i really would like a kit of these cheap!
Cheapest UK pricing i can find at the moment (these guys should ship to Europe!) ;)

They are currently selling @ £105 + £4 shipping, so its the usual bs Uk price bump thing vs. Newegg + Int shippnig...
Hi Guys,
Just got a pair last night. :D
Could someone post a pic of the memset, to show the timmings?
Thanks.
