Just wanted to say how much I like my sticks. Better than ratings and beautiful PCB/heatspreader design/color as well as nice venting design which works extremely well in my low airflow case. Glad the OCZ was OOS at the time or I wouldn't have had the pleasure.
Bar81, could you please tell me at what htt, volt and timing you're running now ? I'm expected to get it soon. Thanks.
ok I just came home from work and opened my muskin, nice packaging!! well...I'm running them at 260 @3-3-2-8 with 2.6v at the moment, with Charlie's timing and testing with OCCT now....it just passed :D :D :D
question, can these sticks clock slightly higher like 270~275 @3-3-3-8 for 24/7 use?
yeah, 270 no problem! I can game at 272, 3-3-2-8... and bench north of 275... by going to 3-3-3 I gain only a few mHz!Quote:

Heard that on the A64 world, Mhz is the king not the mem timing ?
Depends on the CPU... on the total mHz. I kinda like 2.5-3-2, but need at least 270-273mHz to hit my "sweet spot"Quote:

Hope to get this kit in a few weeks and "finger-cross" it would do 261@2.5-3-3 :stick:
Made it to Newegg.

man these Redline kick some serious butt and I'm going to order me another pair!! I'm loving them so far....no problem running them at 11 x 260 @3-3-2-8 with only 2.6v!! with my opty 10.5 x315 on 166 divider they're at 254 @3-3-2-8....winrar is 25MB/s higher than when I had the Ballistix on 183 divider at 275 @3-3-8 2.8v. I haven't push them yet and I do not intend to put more than 2.8v through them either, hopefully they won't have premature death or degrading problem like those micron chips.
look like i should order "two" pairs of this instead of one :DQuote:

Mine arrive next week :D
Jesus....these Redline outdo the Ballistix with lower vdimm, lower memclock, but tighter timing.....this is some serious raw powa!!! :slobber:
3.40Ghz, 183 divider, Ballistix: 283 @3-3-3-8; 2.8V: SPI 32M - 22.28
3.40Ghz, 166 divider, Redline: 261 @3-3-2-8; 2.7v: SPI 32M - 22.26
(note: The Redline can do SPI 32M with only 2.6v but it wasn't BF2 stable :D)
Ballistix: I made this run not long ago

Redline:

Redline: can pull a 22m in SPI 32M even at 3.30Ghz with memclock only 254 @3-3-2-8 :slobber: :slobber: :slobber:

This is with absolutely NO effort whatsoever, I was simply using Charlie's recommended timing with Drive and Data strength 8/3....holy smoke!! :eek: :eek:
Nice result ben805 :clap:
Could you please tell me what's the max memclock your pair could do in 3D ? Thanks
I don't know how reliable these Infineon is....after two pairs of Ballistix died on me in less than two months(that's US$600 worth of ram) I'm going to take it easy this time and don't want to find the 'max' right now, this is my 24/7 machine so I'll have to see how long they last first, if they don't died in 2 months then I'll lay the hammer down and push them :D :D for now I'll let other brave soul push theirs to the max because I'm very happy with the way mine is :lol:
I'll wait for two months then :D :D :DQuote:

Alright, I'd fired up Quake 4 and after a minute or two it lockup, then work again and another minute later it happened again, so now I know what this choppy 3D is all about, I quit Quake 4 and went straight to 3Dmark01se, same deal. After trying a few thing in the bios I found three values have the most impact on this choppy 3D deal, they're Tref, Drive and Data Strength, so far I found at 2.7v the Drive and Data Strength of 8/1 to be more stable than any other combinations (ie: 8/2,3; 6/1,2,3; 4/1,2,3, etc.) Weak drive strength gave me instant 3D lockup, so for now I'm sticking with 8/1 and going to hunt down the Tref one by one....this is some tricky stuff!!
If you guys just got your new sticks, DON'T even bother and waste your time on none of those Prime, OCCT, and SPI 32M.....if your sticks are not 3D stable then they're pretty much useless unless all you need your pc to do is crunching numbers. I suggest the first thing you do is fire up your good ol' 3dMark01se and see how it react, if it's clear then go from there, otherwise you'll get caught with your pants down later on...
Right now don't really have time to play with them (just popped them in this morning and set them to what I wanted) but running at 10x250HTT at 2.7v (the high setting on my mobo) and at 2.5-3-3-8 Will push them more later but since I'm moving overseas tomorrow it won't be for another couple of weeks probably. Still, even if they never did another mhz I'm extremely happy. All I really wanted was 2GB of DDR at 250mhz at CAS2.5. I was gonna hop on the old Mushkin Blueline until they changed the specs on that and then was going OCZ until that was sold out and finally ended up with the Mushkin and am very pleased that everything played out this way. I love the venting design and the color scheme is just beautiful (Even though I don't have a window or anything, it's always nice when you fork out $350+ for something and it at least looks gorgeous - a front that I really think OCZ has a lot of catching up to do in relation to Mushkin although to be fair Mushkin has catching up to do in relation to OCZ in terms of innovation as Mushkin essentially just thieved the chips/performance from OCZ)Quote:

I really don't understand this....it run like banshee on everything except 3D stuff, this really puzzled me!! been trying different TREF but still no go....bite the bullet and cranked up the vdimm to 2.8v @254 3-3-2-8, still getting two pauses at the lobby test!!! I'm going to try these sticks on the Asus A8N32-SLI mobo and see what the deal is....

heh....I'm going to test them on the Asus and see whatsup!

Wow they just made it on there last night too. Just get from Mushkin directly. They went down to 317 the other day.
Wish I would have ordered 2 sets at the same time now. The second set I received yesterday is nowhere even close to as good as the first set from a week ago. CAS 2.5 is unobtainable at any frequency and 280 is unobtainable at any settings. Luck of the draw I suppose but the second set isn't looking hot at all.

nobody said they invented anything. If you're gonna comment on my post, at least learn to read it properly :slapass:Quote:
