It won't work for me... If I cant reach 235-240 at CAS 2.5, I'm selling this memory and going OCZ Platinum 4000 EB, but I still hope it can be done with G.Skill as it would save me 100$

GS Technician - in case of failure is there a chance to exchange my ZX kit for HX if I cover price difference???

Thanks

Pawel

i am really sorry that i can't do this for anyone :)
i can suggest you to buy 2GBHX since it has "better chance" to work 2.5-3-2-5 @ 500 but i don't guarentee it.

Quote:

thats not a very fair question. If they were guarenteed they would be called ddr500 or whatever. There only rated to 400, if they do that then there is no reason to rma. No overclock is guranteed. These kind of questions and reaction are what got duaonger of mushkin in trouble. Please stay clear of getting the reps in trouble. they are here to inform us, just be glad he can show us that they can overclock at all.

that's right :)

Sorry for mu english :slap: . I formed my question wrong way I assume... To be clear, I was asking Technician if G.Skill has a kit that is able to do my desired timings. Simply if I should try HX in case ZX wouldn't work for me, and if HX overclock better...

Anyway it seems from fedex tracking that my kit is going to be here on friday :banana: . I will post my results

So what did you do to your BIOS? Tell us how you did proceed.

it is hard for me to tell you which one can do DDR500 2.5 :), even 90% of HX can do it, but it is not rated and 500 and there is chance that can't do it.
i am really sorry.

Some pics for HX would be nice. If I could reach 250 on cas 2.5, that would be great

i posted the link on top

another pair of 32M finish with real time 24M10S
but i am not happy since it is much more expensive than zx

now i am doing real time 2.5-3-2-0-7-12-6ns-5ns-16cycle- DC enable-16x-7x too see how is will go

i am really sorry.

HX is UCCC and ZX is Infenon. Confirmed with Taiwan. So I went for HX. :)

Oh, NO. :confused: I love UCCC's super low voltage.
Anyway, HX meets my target of 240MHz at 2.5C while ZX doesn't.

BTW, did you talk with newegg about the "R" showed up during check-out? Is that "RMAed"? :) I got that, too, on HX.

i have no chance to talk to them but i will

and i don't think it is RMA anymore cuz the order list from them has R in the back also, i have no idea what is that R stand for.

I just got my ram in and as promised here are my results with this fantastic ram:

No I am not going to set any world records, but anybody that knows the ABIT AN8 knows this board has MASSIVE 1T problems with 1GB sticks. The Gskill works flawlessly (knock on wood) with the AN8 and I even got my overclock back (had to go to 245 HTT with Crucial Ballistix at 2T)

So overall results: I can run this ram 1T, I got back my 5mhz switching to 1GB sticks, and I have yet to really push this ram. I could get it to run 2.5-3-3-8 1T timings @ 250mhz, but it was not benchable. I will continue to see what I can get out these little guys.

Thanks Gskill, and pass the word, this ram works with ABIT's POS motherboard!!!!! :toast: :woot:

RAM voltage is stock I assume? Looking good, the egg hosed my order, so hopefully I will have mine next Monday. Looking forward to it.

It can easily do it on 2.6V, but I bumped it to 2.8V b/c I do a lot of gaming and don't want to risk instability at any time.

I'm obviously not GS-Technician, but no - R from newegg comes from Retail :p:

Rancid - thats great news for me :banana: , could you tell me how high you can run them at CAS 2.5?

Mine has "R" on the invoice too and I placed my order on the 25th when they were OOS that previous week. I inspected my sticks thoroughly and saw no signs of usage.

I will let you know Micha, I am almost scared to mess with it because I have been playing FEAR and Quake 4 all night without any problems! God its nice to be back to 1T :) I saw no noticable improvement in my benchmark scores (same as the ballistix at 2T) but I can tell you maps load a ton faster now which is great.

well mine came today and are doing alright, they are brand new not RMA and have the right timmings on the sticker

i had them stable at 3-3-2-5 @ ddr500 with cpu @10*250 1:1

but the second i went to put my cpu clock back up to 2.7 and put them on the */11 divider they wouldnt post

so i dropped the divider to the next one down 166 i believe and ran 300*9 on the cpu to put the ram at the same speed 245mhz, and its stable but only at 3-3-3-5, id really love to get that trp down but i just cant get it stable

any suggestions?
