its really hard to remove the thermal tape wich CSX use on the Diablo, its really stable and the other side has some glue on 3 points if you have single sided module...

1800 7-6-5-18 1T P1&P2:enabled memtest stable @ 1.94v, 2000 7-6-6-18 1T boot & 1M 2M pass @ 2.24v
screens later... need to tweak them more...

Is that the highest you can get it stable on the S2E?

no, 2000 8-7-6 also rock stable around 2.0v, and i could bench @ 2100 8-7-6

btw, yesterday i've get off the hs of the diablos, baah its really needed to warm up till your fingers burn :D

Actually I have no idea how shipment to the US works with customs and all.
But I do know someone who could be able to help, gotta ask him first though ;)

Also I'm not sure pricing is that attractive, given the current euro/dollar relation.
Anyone who's interested in getting these mems (and can't get it any other way) may contact me by PM, I guess...

Thats great to know :)
Btw, is there any small chance anybody could be able to try this in a 8Gb configuration with a Quad-Core on a S2E? That would really stress the NB and I would love to see how the S2E reacts to this.

On Diablo you have to heat them up, on CEC it is very easy to remove.

Current 4GB Diablo Kits carry D9GTS by the way.. just so you know.
At least that's what I got and what the German CSX rep told me.

Yeah thats what I also heard from them. I can wait for GTR kits though.

So kits on stores are most probably GTR ICs. Kits from CSX website are most probably GTS right?

Im interested on GTR, nothing else. :D

Why are you interested in GTR? Chips are both the same. GTR is like E8400, GTS is E8500. Both are same, you just get higher IC mfg bin in this case.

So wait, GTS is actually better than GTR? I thought GTR was the (better)highed binned (1.33Ghz on GTR vs 1.06Ghz on GTS)

confused :confused:

Where in that huge document explains the GTN 800, GTR 1066 and GTS 1333? I couldnt find it anywhere...

Im confused since this is what the CSX Rep told me in the email I sent

Quote:

S and R are from the same chip family. The Base speed from Micron on S = 1066MHz. R Base speed is 1.33GHz

Oh well, jcool just told me GTS is more expensive so I think Kasparz you are right after all. GTN<GTR<GTS

First page.
If you need FBGA decoder, there it is
http://www.micron.com/support/part_i.../decoder.aspx#
People felt in mass fault syndrome, information is available, so there is no need to ask anyone in forums. Google search takes few seconds, answer to anyone(me including) takes more than minute to write.

Well,

my frakkin' %#@*^&&^$$##!! Striker 2 Extreme has done it again.. byebye my sweet Diablo's... :(

They ran about a week at stockspeeds & today they crapped out exactly the same way as 2 sets of OCZ Flex 2 DDR2000 & 1 set of Corsair XMS3-2000..

Man I hate this mainboard - it's 680i-mayhem all over again.. :cussing:

I see... so I was wrong all this time thinking D9GTR was better. Well now that everything is clear, I think there is no problem getting GTS now :D

Thx Kasparz

How do you know is the Board killing your memory?
Wich voltage where you running the sticks?

Board is first what can kill memory, second is heat, third is voltage. Of course if voltage is within warranty limit.
