yeah the ones my freind got say 2.3 on the, as well.. they must have changed something then i guess.. sucks

Yes i think the 2.3V were Elpida. The 2.0V are powerchips like mine.
ahhhhhh okay well he sent them back to newegg twice now and both times got them back with the 2.3v... so i guess maybe they switched them out..or you have to go with the 1066's to get the good ones.
Not sure if 1066 is the good ones. Only if they are rated to 2.3max.
Because if they are 2.5V then Elpida again i think.
Damn I was just about to buy these...think I will still give it a shot.
Some more benches for you: (2.1V)

Since you guys have a lot of experience with this kit. Do you guys think that running this kit w/ a q6600 is ideal?
I had 4x1 ballistix (ddr2 800) doing 420mhz 1:1 and I couldn't get anything else really stable over that. I had to pull a lot of volts, i think 2.3 or 2.35 and they blew out after 6 months of use.
My quad is capable of 3.78ghz + (I won't go past 1.55v in the bios) and I'm looking for the best bandwidth I can get for a 24/7 machine.
BUY? YES/NO?
EDIT: If I you guys think its worth it in my case, what is an ideal ratio to set the ram at? Most people here do not seem to be doing 1:1.
Crap Spyrus....nice:clap:
Mine RMAed kit should arrive here in a few days.....DDR2-800....hopefully going to get the results you are :thumb:
What transbooster and AI clock twister are you running? BIOS version?
I would grab a kit and run something likeQuote:

Thanks. Sounds good. I'll have another new toy to play with.:DQuote:

All right my kit is here. Time to start testing! (fingers crossed....)
Well these would POST at the same settings as my Esoteria (DDR2-1129 5-5-5-15) at only 2.16V, but it wouldn't even boot without much more voltage.....I tried going as high as 2.35V and couldn't get it to fully stabilize. I got errors in 32M SuperPi within a few seconds......
I dunno, I guess the batches at newegg just aren't as good as others got.
It passed memtest86 (one pass) @ stock settings 4-4-4-12 (the rest was auto) @ 2.1v.
What is the minimum number of passes that can be claimed stable?
Something crazy like 8 hours with memtest. Run 32M SuperPi to find the errors fastest.....either that or HCI Memtest for Windows. THat takes quite longer than SuperPi too.Quote:

If the sticker says 2.3@4-4-4 then are not the same like the other good batches.
Have you a cpuz? They should not have week/year also on spd.
Well I tested the replacement kit and it's a bust....it can't even run DDR2-940 5-5-5-15 with 2.3V. Fail.
BTW SPyrus I have a 120mm fan over them....angled toward my NB.
wow omg thats nuts syprus with your kit of these.. wish i could find some that did that
Thank to this thread I bought this kit and registered at xs!
Does EVO stand for something more than heatspreaders?
I bought the kit without hs because it was 30€ cheaper. Based on Spyrus' comments these chips should be decent?
Not interested in oc:ing them until I get my e8400 - there's little gain in more bandwidth with e2140.
Using watercooled heatspreaders so I guess voltage won't be a problem? These chips stay pretty cool though.
My heatsinks are not even warm to the touch. You'll have no issues with these. Even though mine are the 2.1-2.3v, they do well enough for low end OCs. I am not sure how much you can get out of them. Quads don't seem to like high FSB w/ low multi, so maybe someone w/ an e8400 can comment.
Yeap that photo has powerchips and 2.0V is the rated for 4-4-4 operation.
You should get good results on those. With a fan over them is better of course.
I do not know the pcb layer is the same though, but maybe it won't make any difference
No need for a fan anymore ;)Quote:

Yeah I know it's weird but I'm a watercooling freak. The fact is that many components may not need water cooling. I didn't know these chips run this cool - if I could choose now, I'd buy EVO sticks and keep them air cooled.
I don't think I'll have the guts to use crazy voltages (I could with water) because I have no clue if these 2.0v powerchips will have some kind of electromigration effects like micron d9?
Unfortunately, as Spyrus said, mine chips don't like cl4 either. I was planning to use the e8400 I ordered at 4.05g and keep ratio at 1:1 = 900 ddr and use tight timings but seems like I'll have to use dividers and higher mem clocks with cl5 to get more bandwidth...
E: Do they really pick better chips for more expensive memory or am I just that stupid that I paid extra 35€ for nothing? 6400 CL5 1.9V kit seems to have the same chips. But I doubt that all 800-cl5 sticks will run 800-cl4 with only 0.1v increase? Or do they? Of course I don't assume that all 800-cl5 kits use these powerchips but on the other hand people seem to get 2.3v sticks even when they pay more...
They should do 430-440@4-4-4-12 like mine but it going to be slow
CL = 5 is for those. Waiting results.
