how can u tell if u 16 pcb layer ram?
Are there ram made with 16 layer pcb ?
Hmm. Are you sure it's not 11.5x8mm? If it's really 12 and not 11.5 it would indicate much older Micron ICs.
Yes. In terms of 1Gbit ICs you would need 16 of them to create a 2GB memory module, which is a common amount.Quote:
they use these chips coz they can make 2GB stick?
Recieved my new replacements today. Double sided 16FD5 8500's. Past 5 passes of memtest at rated 2.2v @ 1066. We'll see how long this batch lasts.
I love my current set, 16FD5, running them @ 1066Mhz -- 4-4-4-12 2T 2.17vDIMM (set 2.12 BIOS)
I could run mine @ 1008 Cas 4 2.13Volts, 1120 5-4-4-9 2T 2.15Volts and 1200 2T 5-5-5-15 2.17Volts.
Best freaking DDR2 set Ive ever used!!!
Only had them for a couple of months... Im running them under the "recommended" voltage and I have VERY good case cooling. My CPU heat sink is a downdraft type (SI-128 SE), which means Im getting some air flow on the DIMMs. Also, my side panel case fan blows fresh air on a portion of the motherboard. So far everything seems good. If my RAM dies, I guess, Ill have to RMA and hope I get another 16FDx batch...
Theses are soo much better than the Corsair XMS2 rev2.1s I had.
I have great airflow. Intake cosists of 3x120mm in front and 1 pci slot fan for my on vga and 1x120mm, 1x92mm, 1x80mm for exhaust. I also have a 80mm spot fan blowing directly on my ram and NB. I also have the Tuniq's 120mm aiding in the flow through the case. A direct line from front to back. Not to mention the 140mm in my psu exhaust. So plenty of air moving around in there.
I had my first set of 16FDx's for 2.5 months before death. Then I got the single sided mods which died within a few weeks, both sets. I asked for the double sided ic's this time around. They had no prob giving me those.
I hope you don't have probs with yours.
That is really unlucky... I wish you better luck with your current set. Hopefully mine lasts as long as possible:P
Are those red tracers available yet?
Also, will they use D9GMHs?'
I hope they do, no more sucky ct chips plz crucial...
And now i'm starting to regret why din't i get some crucial earlier on...
Those red rams will be cherry pick will they??
My DDR-800 (PC2-6400) V1, and my New DDR-1066(PC2-8500) Version 2 sticks love working together. I didn't need to up the northbridge at all, so a easy 4GB now. that makes me so happy.:shocked: :clap:
Well finally had a little time to work with my new double sided Ballistix back from RMA. They are so far performing well. Hopefully will get some life out of them. We'll see.

Is there any way to tighten this up to gain in my write or copy scores?
which direction? A divider that would allow me to lower my performance lvl would mean I would loose speed. If I raise speed I will have to raise voltage. I gotta be honest with you I don't want to burn these up and have to go through rma again. Or am I misunderstanding you? :shrug:
