Ugh, seems like my Cellshock 8000 CAS5 kit needs 2.4V set in the BIOS for 600MHz.
CL5 i suppose?
What do they do CAS 4 using 2.4v ?
Haven't tried to see how far they can go on CAS4 with 2.4V yet. All in all, I think I like my various GMH better.

That article seems to indicate GMH is better on the newer chipsets than GKX. I'm inclined to agree...
if you need some g.skill HZ, lemme know ;)
those 2GB CellShock DDR2 PC2-9200 1150MHz (5-5-5-15) Dual Channel kit $ 113.96 D9GKX
look sweet!
It doesn't look like those CellShock kits are going to last long, people buying them up like crazy.
If anyone needs to get rid of theirs, I'll sacrifice and take them off your hands.Quote:

2.4v can take care of that problem!Quote:

So, more vdimm it is! :cool:
I grabbed a kit of aXeRAM 800 from ebay for $35+shipping! New in the packaging at that! Asked the seller beforehand what the letter was after the serial number, his reply was "N" and I clicked that Buy-it-now button so fast. The memory came today and he wasn't lying, they're D9GMH. He has another one up too: http://cgi.ebay.com/Transcend-2gb-ki...QQcmdZViewItem
The 2 pairs of Cellshock 1000C4 I bought from memoryC.com arrived yesterday.. haven't played with them much yet but they seem to be incredible LV sticks. Currently running 1100 CL5-5-5 with 1,96V - not bad for 4x1 :D
They can do 1100 CAS4 as well. Need around 2,33V to pass memtest, but 1100 CAS4 with 4 sticks of ram + that FSB 460 with my Quad is really really hard on the mobo, so I left it at CAS5 for now ;)
Testing with 2 sticks only indicate that the mobo is indeed reaching its limits, as they seem to be happy at 1100 CAS4 even below 2,3V when run in 2x1 config.
Oh yeah, quick 1200 mem test with 4x1 and 400 strap also worked fine, was using 2,05V I think... BUT that strap sucks so back to 333.
Yes, 333 and 266 straps are best for ram o/c.:up:
Post more results when you get some, nice ram man.
Awww either my kit I bought is flawed or my mobo don't like the CellShock 8000C5 kit at all. At first I thought I had stabilized it with 2.25v and around same config as with my previous team xtreem at 2.2v. Well seems like matters have only gotten worse the last few days. I had random stop BSOD errors and sometimes superpi 32M passed but sometimes it failed instantly. I got REALLY scared when I got a bsod in ntfs.sys suddenly. Then it got so bad I can't EVEN check .sfv files or it will report the files are corrupted. I thought the instability had made corrupt files almost on my entire collection (mind I have 2.25TB space in total!) at first so I was really upset and could barely sleep that night. Next morning when I put my old working Teamgroup stick back there's no corrupted files to my huge relieve.
EDIT: OMFG this is unbelievable!!!! Tell me I'm not going NUTS or something, I now tried putting in my other Team Xtreem ram stick which I thought was dead for sure after like 30 startup tries with no luck before I decided to order the Cellshock kit. NOW it booted with both Team Xtreem sticks on the first try! WTFBBQ?! Does motherboards have a soul or something and didn't like the CellShock ram so and wanted the Team Xtreem RAM back? Well you tell me... I don't know what to think... Sometimes I feel I should just leave alone computers and start with another hobby and experiences like this sure makes you thinker about it...
I must have the weirdest motherboard ever, how is this possible to happen? I really spent a whole night, like 3 hrs trying to get both Team Xtreem ram sticks to boot (actually I tried several days every now and then if it would boot but it never did) before I ordered this new kit which at first seemed to work fine but then all kinds of weird stuff started happening and now the Team Xtreem RAM stick is back from the dead and working fine and the CellShock ram is bad or I don't really know what's happening TBH!? I don't know if I should laugh or cry.
lol you sound like you're in almost the same situation as me. I'm rock stable at certain settings, then I reboot the pc, and it fails to post. I clear cmos, set again the exact same settings that it just failed to post at, and it posts fine, and I can be stable in stress tests again. Then I do some work etc for a couple of days, everything remains fine, then the next day I go to turn it on and it fails to post again. I can run some tests, and it fails, and nothing I can do will get it stable. Use other ram, swap psu's, nothing works. I have tested all my gear on a mates board and it all tests ok. I too, am borderline insane right now, all due to this motherboard (P5Q-Deluxe).
It's looking like I was right to skip the P45 boards and buy a Maximus Formula instead. I may grab a P5K Premium as they're pretty cheap now, great DDR2 clockers, and I'm a bit tired of my non-stable P5B Deluxe 1.03G.
Some of these reasons are precisely why i stayed at P35.:D
If I'd buy a new board it would prolly be the DFI DK P45-T2RS. But dunno, I've already wasted money on a new ram kit for nothing and I had 2 Giga$hit boards that seem to be incompatible with my ram with latest bios so couldn't use em anymore etc. But looks like I'll stick to this Abit IP35 Pro a little longer.
Superpi 32M passed now too with these Team Xtreem ram, but how long will it work fine, until problems start appearing again. xD
I'm on the latest bios 17 atm, the older build 14 has faster ram performance at exactly same settings, around 3ns lower latency and ~100MB/s higher read but I don't dare to take any chances now when it finally seems to work normal again, it's worth the performance loss for now. :p
EDIT: updated my sig. :D
I'd be happy with the P5B if it wasn't the original PCB version that has the PCI-E x1 bug with VMCH > 1.45V :mad:Quote:

P.S. The main reason I chose the Abit Pro (this was my first OC build) was it's price and the fact that almost everyone that had one had good things to say. Very few complaints. Didn't hurt that it's super simple to OC also.
