All you got was 618? :ROTF: ...no, I shouldn't laugh at that. Congrats on your purchase.

Alright, alright. I'm still new to the mobo and have had the sticks for 4 hours. Give me a little time.
18 is # 1,try the 4:5 divider.it worked better for me.
lol the egg just raised the price up to 149 on these.. i have been waiting for it to drop a little more then 139 and they raise it up instead..
Well now I understand why I was having problems. After a longer Memtest session (I usually run test #5 a couple of tomes when I first get new RAM), I found errors at stock speed.:explode2:
The Egg is sending a shipping label for RMA exchange.
I already sold my Mushkin Ascents, so I'm back to 2x1GB kits.
+1
Until you FIRST figure your correct MCH Reference ALL you ram will end up on RMA when the real problem is you have wrong settings.
Doesn't matter if it's in stock or ocied, even if you run on Bios Default you will always get errors if MCh Ref is off.
Don't RMA the ram they are fine...
I agree. Gigabyte boards are very solid and reliable. You just have to know their quirks and how to work with them. Asus boards are also very good. Ran 500FSB on one of my duals and got to 510FSB on my Q8400. I'm really not a fan of DFI boards though. I owned a lot of them and it just didn't matter what hardware I put with them, they were just a unstable POS. Even stock they would BSOD :rolleyes:
Why would the NB voltage/GTLs be off after I've been stable with the Ascents for months? I was using the 200/400/333 straps and had my fsb from 266-545. The CPU was at 2.6-4.2 GHz.
Guys, I went all over the place with this RAM yesterday. Tried all the straps and speeds from 1200-1333. vdimm from 2.0-2.26v and MCH from 1.3-1.46v
I couldn't get it to pass Linpack greater than 4 out of 5 passes. When I finally reset everything back to stock and ran the full Memtest this morning and got errors (MCH was 1.35), I was pretty sure they were bad.
The sticks are already shipped back to the Egg. If my next set acts up like this I'll be sure to ask for help, but I'm pretty sure these were faulty out of the box.
Well got some Pi 9600s and started to play. Since I'm still fairly new to my mobo, it's not easy. Memtested fine at stock but had trouble going over 1200. Decided to see what they do with tight timings:

not bad for a 2x2GB kit.
Just to compare bandwidth, I took the same 417 FSB and raised the timings and speed:

Then I cranked up the CPU to 4.1 GHz which is where it's been set for several months:

Dissatisfied that I wasn't breaking 10000 on Everest Read, I cranked the vcore up a couple of notches and what do you know, I found 4.25 GHz:

SuperPi 1m under 11 seconds!:D
Orthos stable. Any higher on the CPU requires less RAM, and any higher on the RAM requires less FSB, etc... : http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/o...can/Pi24-7.jpg
set you vtt to 1.3
i cant beleive thats the limit of cpu+board combo
try a different bios
took me 5min to get a quad higher with that board
i'm happy i never bought another gigabut product just not consistant quality
1 board clocks like crazy n the next will suk or just die
He doesn't? :shocked:
I'm trying everywhere from 1.3-1.4v wiith CPU ref ~63% and MCH ref ~60% (at Ghostleader's recommendation), MCH 1.36-1.5v
I've gotten stable (Orthos for a hour) once at 505 FSB 4.05 GHz and 1212 MHz.
I have yet to get the RAM past 1240 without failing Memtest, Linpack, etc...
You must have been testing for a long time... :)
I was hitting a similar wall at 515MHz FSB with two different kits once too, then radaja gave me a hint and said I should raise MCH reference to 0.770V, maybe that can help you.
:D:D i stick to my guns even if finally gigabut made a descent board in over 10 years:rofl:
2007 was a bad year for me i was averagin 1 gigabut board a month + a set of d9 after the 4th rma the fifth board died at stock in weeks
dont be afraid to just jump 10fsb at a time you might have holes with dividers
just put in 2.2v in the sticks n clock her to 1300
Hey guys, any 1 know how i can get my hands on some of these exellent chips...cuz im in AUS and well to put it plain we decide not to ship any 1200mhz ddr2's...the only 1'd they ship r OCZ's and theyre not as good as G.skillz, Another guy told me just to import them....any ideas...newegg doesn't ship international. Any 1 know a company that would do that kind of thing..also the price has to be resonable.. Also how do u guys think these will OC on my board..i know Zsamz will not like this but i got a Gigabyte X48-DQ6, and looking at upgrading my CPU to Q9550 aswell.
Trying 8gb of the pi's in w7 64.

zsamz: I failed blend after 8 loops of 1024, I just installed the other 2 stix and booted at the same voltages-2.16vdimm-1.46vmch that I was using before. Will need to increase mch and maybe vdimm to get stable.
whats the vid on your Q9650?and how much are you selling it for?
i guessin you know i not gonna buy a gigabut lol
its not a cherry but its doin 4.275 with 1.4v 4.0 with 1.35 i'm on air so ....
i didnt try it with my dfi dk p45
but i'm open to offers you can pm me lol
but i much rather sell it local shippin to the states is a killer
shippin from the us is much cheaper
yea i hear you about the shipping.plus i wouldnt really be
interested unless it was a great vid like 1.15-1.18v.cause
im trying to sell my LGA775 gear and getting the i7 stuff
but if it was a low vid chip then id be willing to keep my
UD3R and get it,and then clock the hell out of it:D
Just due to stability or can damage occur?
I'm joining the club. Just bought off of the egg for $149.99. OCZ Blades do not currently seem to be available anywhere. I am working on clocking my ut p35-t2r e8400 and zsamz seemed to have pretty good results with a similar C2D combo. My Dominators are just not happy much over stock 1066 5-5-5-15 pl6. Still pricey but it appears still some of the best 2x2G ddr2 available.
Just got them and powered them up @
460fsb 266/667 for 1150MHz 5-5-5-15 fast fast PL6
three ticks on the voltages
I am going to push 266/667 and then compare to 333/800
SG showing .09 VDIMM difference, 2.1 set vs. 2.01 showed
Does any other program show VDIMM voltage?
I don't even see it in Everest and I'd like a comparison against SG
this memory does indeed rock!
Found the memory voltage in everest, thanks. Not sure if my older version was not showing it or if I forgot how to use a scroll bar, lol. 450 5:4 1125 is very stable with minimal voltage increases using pl6 5-5-5-15-48. Starting to play with the 6:5 divider to see what that gives me. I can hit 1300MHz benching but don't like to keep the voltages cranked that high for very long.
Hey, does anyone here have a spare kit they wouldn't mind selling? Looking for a good clocking one, 1300Mhz+ etc. Gladly pay a good amount as long as the sticks are proven oc'ers.
How much voltage are you giving your Reapers? (If I might ask)
Did someone buy recently this kit (newegg or different seller)) and is it still use same IC's that do 1300+ ?
Edit:
wow not reply more that 10 days in this thread for this popular kit :(
I have this kit & run fine in amd 1200 at 1.90v, 2700cpu/nb. PII 965be @3.8ghz.
