With 623-3 in yellow slots does not even boot to me.
Hey charlie,
You wouldn't happen to be "chopper_charlie" on BF2 would you? I saw someone spawn super fast with me and was wondering..........hmmmmmmmmmmm. :)
Well, with a bit of luck they'd probably do 290 or even more. I can run 1T with 4 sticks on my SLI-DR EXPERT. However, not at that high HTT, but i guess with BIOS optimizations it might be possible soon.. Either way 280 @ 2.5-3-3-7 2T should be faster than 260 @ 3-3-2-6 1T..Quote:

Got my pair from mushkin tonight and so far they seem awesome! I havent tweaked them much, stuff is still on auto. What data/drive strength should I use? 8 & 3?

When in doubt, grab everest and SuperPi and run some tests yourself to find out which is gonna be better. i personally avoid 2T at all costs, id rather use a small divider...

When is Newegg supposed to get more of these in?
Who knows....CE-6 supply is shoring up though.Quote:

we got a lot more coming in. so dont u worry.. just keep letting us know how it performs.

I am at a wall currently with 260 3-3-2-8 2.86v. 1 Mhz above this on the FSB and lockup with 3D benching and games. I can run all day no problem at these settings in picture below.
My cpu limit is 3260Mhz 1.65v and I was hoping to get about 265 out of these sticks. Here is a screenie, any suggestions or comments on those settings???
Also can you set in BIOS the Tref (refresh rate) 200mhz 15.6us, Max Async Latency or Read Preamble? Or do you just have to set in Windows with A64 Tweaker.

try takeing the tref down
Nope, tried lower tref settings and nothing. Still a wall at 260. :(Quote:

It looks like 2GB Gskill ZX OC results thread is getting nearly the same overall OC results as the 2GB mushkin Redlines, which is around 250-260~ (2.5-3-2-8 ish).
ZX uses the same IC as the redline?
That's what some of us think, along with OCZ's EB PC4000 and some random Corsair kit, too.Quote:

Didn't say it was bad. I said, I was trying to hit it. Please learn to read. :stick:Quote:

y would you use "just below stock voltage" ?
I dont know whether its just my x2, but ive found that dual cores and high fsb's do not get on at all. I get a 100mhz cpu clock extra by dropping from 255fsb to 241...
Full story tomorrow after ive looped S&M over night to confirm its rock solid.
I bought 3 more pairs from Newegg and I've been playing with them in the past couple days, and tested them one stick at a time in single channel mode at 1T, vdimm 2.7v and I'd tried 9x and 10x multiplier:
Max 3D stable @3-3-2-8
stick1: 250
stick2: 255
stick3: 264
stick4: 252
stick5: 252
stick6: 256
Increased vdimm to 2.8v did nothing to these sticks, 3-3-3-8 or very relax timing didn't help higher memclock either, since I was testing them individually in single channel so there's practically no stress on the mem controller, that's almost $1000 worth of ram and I still can't get any of them to do 3D stable any higher than 260 @3-3-2-8 :stick: The best they could managed was only 258 as I had to matched stick3 and stick6 together (two highest clockers). Needless to say I'm very disappointed with these sticks....atleast now I can't fault my motherboard, memory controller, or my memory tweaking skill. Don't get me wrong...these ram are decent but I do not think they worth $300/pair, I'm going to pack them up, send them straight back to newegg and suck up the 15% restocking fees...about $140 down the drain. :stick:
I've got a pair of these and a pair of the ZX. It's clear that these new infineon chips are not what everyone was hoping they would be.
wierd, isnt it? How this ran better on intel than amd?
I'm very disappointed with these sticks too.
sin- I don't think these sticks run better on intel. Those particular sticks that were used on the intel was just a better ocer I think.
It seems that all the 2Gb sets are crap right now.
Micron= Early deaths\too hot
Infineon= not 3d stable
Samsung= Very Loose timings (3-4-4-8)
These are all 3dmark 01 se stable, i cant test now because i killed that board

You sure thats 3dmark01 stable? Did you try looping it overnight?
My redlines at 260 seemed to be rock solid stable when I ran 3dmark01 a couple of times but when I looped it overnight, it eventually crashed.
I set it down to 255 and looped 3dmark01 all day and it never crashed for 12 hours.
ben805, I feel your pain with these sticks. Have tried all different timings and voltages and can't get 3D stable over 260 period. Mushkin.com has a 90 day return policy, I might have to use it.
I brought my 2GB XP-4000 directly from mushkin. My pairs can only do 260 3d stable @2.6v 3-3-2-8, 265 prime stable but not 3d stable. :(Quote:

I did not spend a thousand dollar on new memory just to get them up to only 258 and only the highest chosen stick can do that as the matched pair can only do 255 or less, there's other ram out there that can do the same for $220~$240/pr, like someone else already mentioned Mushkin has 90 days return policy, newegg has 30 days, if I'm not satisfy because of whatever reason it might be I have all the rights to return them, even if the ram has a needle size scratch on it....or hell...if the warranty sticker color is a bit off and if I don't like it I'll return them all I want, unsatisfied is just that....unsatisfied. Afterall...it's my money so who the hell are you to say it's lame DUDE! That's extremely disturbing and moronic for you to make such a stupid comment like that!! :down:Quote:

Point that out and then I'll see your point. Otherwise, you're being ridiculous. The fact that you can't read is a poor reason for an RMA.
Roll yourself back to third grade and bone up on your reading comprehension skills. You should be overly concerned about being a "reading" fanboy before you spout off your ignorant comments.
If you want to recoup your money...sell them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the sticks, they just don't work as far above specs as you would like. Do NOT give these back to Mushkin saying "your loss, not mine."Quote:

Furthermore, they ran at their rating....250 3-3-2 for 2GB sets is pretty damn extreme in most people's books. On top of that, it's just a name, not an OC rating ;)
And, yes, I'd be upset if I got bum OCing hardware, but I'd just turn around and sell it. The company made a product that works to its specs and that's that, they really have no reason to be punished for making sticks that don't OC as well as YOU would like.
DUDE...where in Mushkin or Newegg website did they mention the customer can not return the merchandise if they're not completely satisfied with them? your lack of ability to tell the difference between hype and reality doesn't mean you can get away with being a braniac, look for such agreement or policy then come convince me again. You're being naive, the fact that you can't comprehend the game behind it is an obvious reason why you should of think before you speak....in this case....TYPE!Quote:

I thinks he's eating the 15% restocking fee and sending them back to the Egg. He's not misrepresenting the fact that he's not 100% satisfied or saying their defective. No harm no foul and well within what Newegg intended for their RMAs. I think the Egg wants satisfied customers like most retialers and will accept returns with little or no questions asked. Its just good business. If he had burned them up OCing I'm sure we would agree that a return would be wrong.Quote:

Newegg have nothing to lose as they'll quickly turn around and put them back in stock, as you and the other "DUDE" said you guys are well aware of the rated speed so I'm sure whomever get them next will be very satisfied with these performance.

Also, please lets not flame.
I was told the same thing!Quote:

I don't see the same whiplash at OCZ or G.Skill. The OCZ CE parts are going to behave similar. The G.skill I don't know how they can sell for that price. I was talking to a Mushkin person who said the G.Skill price was BELOW their cost for the IC's. So either G.Skill is buying IC"s for cheaper than what Mushkin/OCZ can get in the USA, or they are losing $$$. Furthermore, G.Skill isn't rated for PC4000. Sure many kits will do it, but I've seen some people that don't get it as well. I think what we have to keep in mind, is ram manufacturers are trying to put out good products for good prices. People complain about Mushkin prices, but it's not higher than OCZ or Corsair for similar products. What do you expect these USA companies to do. Bin out memory for free. They are in business, that is to make $. Now granted I don't think paying a ton over their cost is appropriate, but that's where competition comes in, from those companies and keeps prices in check. Don't u think if IC's were really that cheap, and OCZ or Mushkin could sell for cheaper and still survive, that they wouldn't be doing that to undercut their competition?
Ben, I don't see anything imoral with what your doing! You can return your product under the rules established by your reseller.
However, when people base their satisfaction on inflated ideals of what they want, ie 270+ or w/e, then a certain product doesn't meet that criteria even though it does meet the specifications that the manufacturer declares, that becomes a very sticky issue. Who's wrong?
I've gotten crap results and I've rma'd things too, so I can't get on a soapbox saying I'm all squeaky clean in this area, but we do have to be realisitic that sometimes things don't work out like we wish. I don't know how many damm cpus or video cards I've gotten that clock like turds, but we seem to tolerate that alot better than ram for some reason. I'm not sure why everyone gets their panties in such a wad when ram doesn't fly as high as they think it should. I suppose it's b/c you see your forum neighbor with some value set doing the same or better, so you feel ripped off. I'm not sure. I would just hate for the memory makers that have helped us through the years get what we want, to stop supporting us b/c we can be so fickle and tempermental and over expecting.
i agree with you on the ram part, im not geting involved with this guys rma.
AS far as testing goes, every module is hand tested on DFI nForce4 motherboards beyond their rated spec with the RST Pro2 test cards (known as being the best in the industry).
that's what I've been told as well.Quote:

Sorry, not to offend anyone but in my personal opinion, the only thing lame here is the Infineon ce-6 chips. I'm just not impressed with the chips at all, especially compared to 4000 Balistix even thouigh several users have had balistix go belly up, but I'd rather use the lifetime warranty and get replacements than suffer lower speeds and the incompatabilities of the CE-6's. Again, IMHO, and I'm sure some will disagree.
Lower binned => cheaper price for the ICs.Quote:

Very obviously, they produced so many high-clocking chips a while ago that even the low bins (for G.Skill) were getting good chips and equally obvious they now produce worse clocking chips that have difficulty meeting the high bin requirement at all.
AMD does this all the time, I would have been surprised if Infineon was any different.
you guys know that ce-6 was originally at ddr333 product?
yeah, 6ns hehe!Quote:

The followers that got baited into buying these turd batches will complain in this forum. they will complain about getting ripped off and stuff and say they will RMA. And some guy who thinks he is morally better than everyone else will come in and say "dude that is lame, fu, ur rmaing because you cant overclock??? burn in hell lol!!!"
And then a Rep will come in and say "overclocking is not gauranteed, blah blah blah, you paid for rated specs blah blah blah"

-pickles
the Infineons are very hit and miss... Makes ya wonder since so many Ballistix sticks are keelin over, who is gonna take the crown for the best high speed 2GB kit...
UCCC is getting better slowly....should be interesting to see what they'll end up being.
If you buy something from a store that's return policy states return on defective items only, and your sticks dont OC to your expectations and you RMA saying the sticks are defective then you lied and that's a bad thing.
On the other hand if you buy from a store "like" Fry's were they offer a customer satisfaction guarantee,
"if for any reason your not satisfied with the product please return it for a full refund with in XX days" then if you return the item because you decided you don't like the color, or how it OC's, it doesn't matter your not satisfied with product. Your perfectly with in your customer privilege to return said item/items.
Now if you see that as unmoral/unethical then maybe you need to leave Sun-young Moon's Flock, get some sun and blood flowing into that brain :D
QFT! I agree.Quote:

I ordered mine the day after Thanksgiving and am at a 3D stable wall of 260. Even if I loosen timings or change voltages nothing will pass 3dMark 01, 03, or 05.
Well my kit can pass 3dMark 01/03/05 one time test, but cannot pass loop 3dmark05 test. Increase vdimm to 2.7v or loosen timings doesn't help. 260Mhz is all they can do. :(Quote:

Been trying yo figure out the sweet spot for me all day today. 265 is definitely a no go! Locks up instantly when launchin any 3d app, and sporatic Windows lock-ups. Thought at 1st it was my video cards, so I backed down the OC on them to 475/1275, but still the same lockups. Then I swapped to running 306*9 with a 166 divider to get DDR500 and now everything is smooth as silk. No stuttering while running the 3d benches! Settings on these puppies are very finicky to say the least!
More testing...
Argh!!! Mine should be here on tuesday. I was hoping that these would have a little bit of oc headroom.
well i was ready to pull the plug on the redlines but now i don't know. I just had a set of ballistix die in 2 weeks and rma them and sold the new with the thought of getting the redlines. what to do. what to do.
tref can help with the 3dQuote:

Question is; f most start getting only 260fsb at cas 3, and since the g.skill ZX have a very high likelyhood of doing 260 at cas3; Why would I want these sticks over the ZX?
Hell, my ZX sticks do 255fsb at cas 2.5-3-2-5 and they only cost me $190.
I agree. I wouldn't even want these sticks over my Mushkin HP blues.Quote:

If these wont fit under my xp-90 Im going to go ahead a get a big typhoon. Ive ran 4 512s in all dimms and my neo2 likes them so Im not really worried about 2 gigs not working, but I am wondering if these suckers will fit in my slots since they look so close together and how high these rams are?
My old gkill is holding me back and Ive been waiting for 2 gigs to compliment my X2 it was either this or the OCZ EB and Im a first time muskin user. I didnt feel like trying crucials and waitng for or wondering if they would die on me.
By the way these are back in stock at the EGG if no one knows.
They run relatively cool with HS's.. especially compared to Ballistix which i couldnt even touch they got so hot.. heat is what is killing the ballistix. Im sure you'll be quite pleased with these as ive tried many kits and settled on these. EnjoyQuote:

The new heatspreaders make the ram taller than normal. With a bit of wiggling, I was able to get it under my XP-120.
So these should fit and they will run cool :) I dont really want to take the heat spreaders off but If I have to its a done deal and I was wondering If there was better performance with them off. I have a hairdryer/vacuum blowing on my ram now over the xp-90 and was wondering about active cooling. I think the xp-90 and xp120 are about the same heighth from the cpu?
I hope new egg has a new good batch but Ill be satisfied with 250 or 240 and Ill let you guys know how these run on the neo2 but TO BAD I CANT OPEN THEM TILL CHRISTMAS thanks to my other half. .:slap:
