Those are quite a pain. I ordered myself a set of ZX last night, cant wait to start oc'ing them; maybe my cpu overclock will actually hit anything aboce 2.5 stable. What BIOS have you buys been using with this set?Quote:

Not a huge difference, but hey- 8 bucks is 8 bucks. ;)
*sigh* Damn Newegg... :rolleyes: throws sale in after I buy mine. Oh Well :)Quote:

NewEgg drops the price! i have no idea why. the price is setup by resellers. i have no control of that :)
Can you please clarify something, quotes from this thread:

What is the difference between HX and ZX?
price is much different
i will tell you all, HX is not super good on OC
but 250 2.5-3-2-5 is very easy for HX
So, what was the typo?Quote:
that was my typo, HX is not a super easy OC ramQuote:
Ok, HX is better than ZX ?
but its chip is ,uch more expensive
You say HX doesn't overclock well but I'd say 200 to 250 MHz at that timing is a good overclock.
2GBHX is not easy OC over 251+ but for 250 CL2.5 has more chance to do it. and will not do CL3 stable
on the other hand 2GBZX has chance to do 250~260+ with CL3
remember both rated at DDR400, if it can OC is good. no guarantee on OC ability

got mine in yesterday, chillin @ 240 1:1 3-3-2-7-1t, it seems to be maxing out there, but i suppose could be a memory controller issue, either way i dont care, my 3200+ winny @ 240 1:1 is faster than @ 255 on a 166 divider, which is what i was running with my crucial value ram 2x1gb. so for 224.xx$ shipped to my house, im happy :)
I am happy to see this :)

according to all benches, @ 2550, it was running memory @ 255 on a 166 divider, making the ram around 212Mhz, @ 240, its running 240 1:1, and overall it has made my system faster. 3dmark 2k1 shows improvement of 100 points @ this setting, and 2k3 is about the same as well (+/- 20 pts) so yea, i like it :). im in windows now with it @ 245, i think the mem controller, while able to handle 512 sticks @ fairly high FSB is having trouble with these, they dont seem to want to go very high, i dont know if its mem or board or cpu TBH tho, but i still stand by being happy with 240 (for sure 24/7 stable) @ 224.xx$ shipped :)
got ZX this Evening..and this my First Test ^_^

What the Vddr limit for this Ram ,is Ok to give 3.0 V and Up Volt ?
are this Ram need Cooler Fan ?
Don't give it more than 3V....in most cases performance deteriorates above 2.9V anyway.
look at this...

the Infineon chip:

so what the hell the zx is?
It's infineon.
from those pics, don look to be neither mosel nor infineon - so wat ic is it ?
im very interested... but wat ic on these HX ?

I ordered a kit of the ZX
u should lower it a bit, 2.8~2.9v is good enough to do it i think :)Quote:

I didn't gain a single Mhz over 265 from 2.6v to 2.85v, of course I'm not complaining, I figure I'm at the RAM max. Just curious what kind of gains you saw if any.
With 2.85v I couldn't get 2.5-3-3-x @ 250 either. Seems like my RAM is happy at 2.6V, and no extra voltage made a difference.
Why I am thinking about it...is there anything you would do to my timings for improvement? I haven't changed anything since my last post, but I'll post a pic again so you don't have to go back.

now i use 2.9 V for 24/7 use ..:)Quote:

u might want to try read to write to 3, that maybe help u some few mhz. adding some voltage helps like 5~10 mhz for me, but it really depends on the IC.

No, they were for $213 for a few days.
