Runs hot for you? Really? How many volts are you running through them? I never remember mine being hot at all at 280.. I have run them as high as 2.8V but found no difference in my OC at 2.6V so I have maintained that voltage.Quote:

Im giving them 2.6V but it's overvolting to like 2.68. I don't have the best cooling in my case but I run without the door. And it's really clean with cables and so on. But i,ve seen some people having high screws that they attach in the mother board holes. I would like to know where I can get those screws=D.Quote:

Could you show me some memory bandwith with sisoftsandra or that other program ppl use, i´ve forgot the name of it!
You mean the standoffs that mount the board to the case? Yes, I have some that came with my CM Stacker case that are longer than normal. I would think you should be able to find those online somewhere?? The only concenr I would have is whether or not that will make the motherboard sit too high and you cannot fit your graphics card or other cards. Also how would that affect the location of your back panel? It won't line up right if it is too high up.
I noticed a huge difference in Battlefield 2 with the 2GB of memory. Later this week when I have my computer back together I will get some memory benchmarks. I have to wait on my GPU waterblock to arrive before I can put everything back together again. :)
For 2GBHZ, or UCCC Chip, they don't need too much voltage to run. or said 2.5~2.7 is good enough to max it. For Overclocking we need some fans to cooling it of cuz. :)
demonR6, thx for helpping me to answer some quetions :)
I have not even thought to pump more than 2.8V into this memory. I actually bought it because my other memory needed a lot of voltage and in my new build with my DFI NF4 I did not have as good a location to actively cool my ram. I have tried 2.7~2.8 and really did not notice much of a difference in my situation so I left it at that. I cannot get above 280 without errors, maybe juicing it above 2.8V would solve the problem but again, I do not want to run bleeding hot voltages through memory again if I don't have to.
G.Skill Tech, I don't mind offering help.. I am just passing along my personal experiences hoping it can help someone else possibly troubleshoot a problem and get them going. :)
Well, after playing around with this mem another 2hrs today, and trying each stick individually i found that i really can't OC these. With both sticks in at 3-4-4-8 I can't get memtest stable past 255mhz. :(

least you can get over 250.... 245 max for me..... what a waste of time. G.Skill :nono:
Mine seem pretty happy @260MHz, stable playing BF2/Fear.
You like having ram around to play with eh? What do you do with ram after you are done with it?
I've had mine up to 275 with no troubles, but it's on a 1.08x multiplier with HTT at 255. Volts at 2.6. No active cooling except a XP90C right next door. 3-4-4-8-1TQuote:

Anyone can get this kinda results??

Sorry I have not posted anything in a while. I took everything apart the week before last to set up the watercooling and I just got back up and running although it looks like I am modding the pump for more performance. I wish I would just leave things alone that aren't broken. LOL
Here is my latest and greatest.

Nice voltage.. keeping the heat down. Once I mod the pump I hope to run some cooler temps. What sucks is it gets hot here being that the computer room is in the loft. It gets toasty warm up here in the afternoon and into the night. Florida sucks. At least the hurricane on my doorstep will keep things cooler for the next few days. I may not have a place to live if the roof is ripped off though. hehe
HeyHo Guys!
I have this RAM, too, but i dont know which Settings i must choose... I have a DFI LanParty SLI DR Board and a 4400X2 CPU.
Which Bios is the best?
The only settings i have are 3-4-4-8 in the Bios, the rest is auto. I want to know the best settings for 250 Mhz.. for Maximum performance... and how can i let them run with 275 Mhz or more? Somebody ideas?
That's just funny to me. 250 is what they are rated at so why wouldn't it be stable?Quote:

I adjusted voltage to 2.5v in the bios and 250 is now stable... memtest(windows & dos) superpi and im about to test 3d. If i cant get 3d stable its going back in the am tomorrow. I can tell the ram has potential guess i just got a bad kit. Id be happy with 250-260 I suggest you guys with problems go lower on the voltage.
will post later with my results.
Hi there! Is there anyone with a venice3000+ E6 , testing this memory kit?
I lowered mine as well to 2.5V and it runs hella cool now! Then again at 2.6V it did not feel warm to the touch at all. I was benching my new ATI card last night and was playing for about two hours and not so much as a hiccup from the memory. You all may want to take JCGhz's lead and try this for yourself. :) Thanks for the heads up man, I would have never thought of undervolting them as mine runs stable and cool at stock voltages.Quote:

If anyone is willing to part with their set of this nice stuff... ;)
Tempted because I have another kit of different G.Skill and these will be going to 'the shelf' but then again they have been on killer @ 285 1/01 so parting with them, even though they will have a fine layer of dust on the box in six months, is something I may not do. :)
I'd offer my firstborn, but he's more trouble than... I mean, I'll give you my firstborn for that set! ;)Quote:

believe me those 2GBHZ kits will do 2.5~2.6v good to its max.
and save some $$, since only some of z503 does 600.
for most CPU not runing @ 2.8G+
2.7G 300*9 with 188/150 divider, 2GBHZ will do a good job
Hey G.S Technician:
Since Newegg is out of stock of the 2GB HZ sets, is there any reason for me to not just get 2 single 1GB HZ modules in regards to warranty/support? They should run just as good in dual-channel and have just as good of a chance at overclocking performance as the 2GB sets, correct?
