I'm always scouring eBay for some GKX, I dunno how I missed that, unless they were 2x512MB kits. I did manage to snag a 2x1GB Firestix 8000 kit for $32, but I killed one of the sticks pulling the heatspreader :doh:Quote:

No right, I would never buy a used pair. They usually don't last too long as it is so you'd be taking a risk with a used kit. Thanks.Quote:

Team Xtreme DDR2 PC2-9600 1200Mhz and guaranteed Micron D9GKX. Plus if they fail I don't have to worry about them sending back some Qimonda (like some other memory companies have been known to do *cough* Corsair *cough* ). Nice 5-5-5-15 timings but a somewhat high 2.3-2.4v. Well I'll let you guys know how they clock when I get them.

Nice sticks, I have a set that can do just under 700 cas5. I am also testing the 1300 in another system which is doing 580 cas4 at 2.45v on a P5Q. Don't sweat the voltage so much just throw good fan cooling on it and your fine,2.35-2.45v is the norm for these sticks.
Amazing. I've been looking for a set to do C5 1333Mhz for short periods of benching and 1100Mhz-1200Mhz or so for 24\7 use. Looks like the Teams are it.Quote:

When you said testing the 1300's did you mean the Team PC2-10400 6-6-6-18 set? Are those 1300Mhz C6 sticks also D9GKX?
Oh, and for the record i did try the 24hr in the FREEZER fix before posting!
Unfortunately, it did not repair the bad stick. My bad stick will run but I get tons of memory errors under memtest+ 2.11 memtest 3.5 Windows mem test. Freezer test had no effect. :)

2x512 are only good to make a 3 gig total systemQuote:

Believe me, I did :mad: You still didn't say what GKX you got for $50 total!Quote:

Plus some are reporting average OC on the newer revisions.Quote:

BTW here are some Firestix 2x1GB for $50 Canadian. While not as good a deal as stated above still not bad for D9GMH. Only like 20 kits left too.Quote:

Yeah and the only reviews from people are from a few years ago.Quote:

I was thinking about that and was curious if anyone knows because it seems to me that they've been discontinued for a while.
:shrug:
i got a set of team ddr800 cl3 from memoryc when they were on sales last month. the serial number started with 2009.Quote:

Just speculating here but I wonder.Quote:

Do you really need 8 gigs of memory ?, what are doing on your computer ?, 8 gigs of 9600 gskill is going to cost you over $600:confused:, i can get 6 gigs of corsair 2000 7-8-7-18 for that much, you should consider moving to ddr3. The money you spent on your quad, and that g.skill you want, you could go I7, and smoke that setup you have, nothing against you Raja, your a great guy, seems to me like a waste of money. I agree with zsamz, 8 gigs is way overkill.
if you lucky you can get the gskills @ around 1260 for 24/7Quote:

well when i get my home recording studio pc built they will go in there.i know they expensive but they are one of the best kits of ram available at the moment,mainly because of the speeds with such low volts.like i said before i really dont do anything with my computer right now except for OCing.so thats why i had to practically find some kind of purpose for it(build a home studio since i play guitar) to justify my non stop purchasing of computer parts.otherwise its alot of money being spent on new parts just to OC it and surf the web to post my OC's.and then buy more to get better OC's to post those OC's.kinda drug like in its addiction.
