Think of along the lines of how Mushkin built their PC3500 Lvl2 Black Line - those sticks were orginally binned as PC3200 Lvl2 Blacks and only the cream-of-the-crop ended up in the 3500 line. Some of them, though, slipped through the cracks and remained in the PC3200 line and those sticks were just as good, if not better, than their PC3500 counterparts.......Quote:

Ordering a PC4000 kit as wel to see if thats makes a difference...
Ok all, there seems to be a bit of confusion about the availability of these particular sticks. TBH, I'm starting to get as confused as everyone else here is. I spoke with someone from TEAM earlier today and I was told that these kits ARE NOT currently available at ANY retail outlet at the moment. They are supposedly slated for release in two weeks at the earliest. I'm not sure how Computergiants claims they have these in stock as they have not officially been launched. My sticks are marked with PC3200 speed ratings since the retail versions are basically hand-picked from the current PC3200 supply. If you notice though, these sticks do not share the same SPD values as the current 3200's which are available. I'm still working on getting a solid answer from someone and will definately post my findings as soon as I can. Now in regards to this preview - I seem to have run into a little problem in terms of being able to push this ram to it's limits. More on this in a bit....first here are a couple of updated results from the sticks:
DDR540, 3.6Vmem, Spi8m

DDR540, 3.6Vmem, Spi32m
http://www.cryo-laboratory.com/uploa...x27032m%21.jpg
To be totally honest, these sticks could have run tighter at this speed than I set them at and possibly less voltage as they breezed through these tests without a hiccup. These two benches were somewhat of a rush job as I didn't have too much time to pull them off. I was planning on running a full set of Spi's @ 275 as well, but this is where I've run into the problem. It looks as if I've run into the cold-bug on my FX57 @ these temps/voltages. I basically hit a brick wall @ 272FSB, -45C core. Now there's ways to still test the memory...for example I can install a cold-plate between my evaporator and cpu to "raise" my temps ~4C. I can also run a divider which "upclocks" my memory to speeds greater than my FSB. I'm still debating which may be the better option. I also have a cpu coming to me VERY soon which I believe may have one of the strongest memory controllers we've ever seen on a San Diego core and it should be able to run these speeds without issue. I'll try to update everyone a little later, but I've got to take care of a few things right now.......
Check your pm
Got it coop...thanks....I'll try to get to the bottom of all this a little later.......Quote:

Indeed, done, nice time. Don't forget to post - http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...=32m+challengeQuote:

I emailed an EU retailer yesterday and they told me they should have the PC4000 flavor in stock within 2 or 3 days from now. Well see about that though...Quote:

Might suit well with the current project. (Read SigURL).
Ordered TeamGroup 2x512MB PC4000 BH-5 @ overclockers.de :banana:
Hope to get them soon :)
Those aren't in stock and they are using the same pic for the PC3200.
Make sure you get the right stuff, and please inform us when you do. I wanna order a few myself.
I forgot I had this screenie saved in my folder from the other day- I'm still trying to figure out how to duplicate it.
DDR550, Vmem 3.7Vmem, Spi1m

turn up the heat? :DQuote:
