hey guys just noticed this auction with 2x1GB fatbody sticks
after my experience with OCZ fatbody RAM i wouldn't touch any with a ten foot pole unless they were guaranteed to OC well (let alone just boot):rolleyes:

Ds3 and fatbody don't mixQuote:

5400ul (fatty) on p5b dlx 711 bios
I've seen fatty do 600mhz 4-4-3 on this board.
Dang, I think I want a set :)
Edit: my one gig kit is running pretty well on my vmodded biostar 965p-t.
yeah i know but it's hit and miss you know what i meanQuote:

I cant say you'll have the same experience but just giving a heads up.
These are the sticks I bought. Im hoping they get here tomorrow. I was waiting until I was able to test them to post them, the guy has like 100+ sticks.
Note: he sells them in dutch auctions as well.. $90 each. To order 2 with shipping and insurance in USA is $194-195... shipping + insurance on the 2 stick lots is $10, so dont bid more than $184 for one of the lots.
He also offers The squaretrade insurance (3yr) (not sure how that works) for ~$13/stick.
and 30 day money back so if it doesn't play nice i'll just send it back doesn't matter
dinos22,
I know that you are aware of this, as you've posted in this thread, but for the rest of the guys, you need to read this before you do any bidding.

These sticks simply don't like the Asus mobos, or at least my Asus boards. I know from first hand, because like MACMAC, I bought 6 of them back in early October and could not get them to boot on either of my 925XE or 955X based Asus boards. He told me about them and I jumped on them hoping for the best, but in the end I had to return them all...shame, too as I had 6 x 1gig sticks of D9DQW for $510 or so, shipped.
The good thing is that the Seller refunded the purchase price, plus shipping and insurance so I can at least tell you that the guy was beyond reproach with me.
My fatbody 1GB stick is the only stick I haven't had a problem with yet.....out of 9.
ASUS boards and an XBX were used....heck, my fatbody stick even worked after one ASUS board went berserck and was surging 4V+ to the RAM.
It's the only stick I've EVER gotten to work after a CMOS clear or on a fresh board.....something's going on with these SPDs I reckon......hmmmm, I'm slowly convincing myself to pick up a pair of these....heh
LOLQuote:

$89.95/1GB stick

Hold your horses :p: only the ICS are Fatbody, check out the PCB seems like some low end pcb..
The PCB is just as important as the ICS
:toast:
Yeah, that's what's holding me back....otherwise I'd go buy three sticks right now....heh
Too bad he doesn't have pics of the otherside.....though it does look like some form of BrainPower (though that doesn't mean anything as BP is almost always cheaper to use than JEDEC)
hey MTP04 were you able to change settings on the boards with one set of sticks and then boot this RAM.....i have to say i was able to do that on both DS3 and P5B Deluxe with fatties but they were just hmmmm i donno...not very impressiveQuote:

~450MHz 4-3-3-3 2.2v is not too bad actually
do you know what the difference is and what type of PCB good fatties have...........that reminds me of Brainpower PCB for BH5 :)Quote:

a good PCB is just as important as the ICS, the cellshock ddr2 have a custom build 8 layer PCB :D
they could have gone with some 6 layer PB but then it wouldnt do so well now would it? ;)
I had 2 stick of UCCC one of them was a generic no brand ram with uccc and no name pcb
the other was transcend with UCCC and brainpower.
The generic stick crapped out at 230-235
The transcends reached 280 :D
oh this was on my old UltraD
Edit
dinos22 i think it has to do with the pcb quality itself. PB is 6 layer.
lol brainpower was the good :banana::banana::banana::banana: with BH5 :)
Any reports on p5b deluxe? Seems they don't post on it :/
My UL did 500 4-3-2 completely stable :)Quote:

ram description says
Data Rate: PC2-4200 (533 Mhz), 1.8 Volts, CL4
that should be able to boot
I did try that but no luck. I tried all kinda of combinations of voltage, timings, single channel, dual channel and even a couple of different SPD flashes and still not once did they boot in my P5B-D. They did work in a DS3 though but because the DS3 have a known issues with micron D9 ic's I couldn't get them to reach DDR2 1000mhz even with loose timings and max volts which I think is 2.4 on the DS3.Quote:

I hope you guys have better luck than I did.:)
DS3 worked with OCZ fatbody RAM i tested....800 ratio was key to getting them goingQuote:

Looking forward to hearing how everyone does with these...unfortunately I just couldn't get a single one to work for me.
Damn him!! :P *looks around suspicously*Quote:

Not all are created equally and I can confirm that's *not* the best one in visual comparisons to my Mushkin ES stick.....that little symbol bottom right is making me think it might not even be BP, but it does look like the general layout of my BP, with a variety of differences.
Almost all incompatibilities will be due to SPD....my stick worked perfectly on a P5B-D, many P5W DHs, and an XBX.....others are reporting that it won't work at all on various 965 boards, so something's up.
For what its worth, when I had my 6 sticks I made a close inspection of the PCB, comparing it to others that I have. There were no markings of any kind that would indicate BrainPower, nor were there any visial resemblances.
If they are BP, then the identification is well hidden.

I'm drawing a blank....anybody know whose symbol that is? It's on the sticks....
lol i did too.ugh its hard to resist!Quote:

I've payed for 2x1gb 165$ including shipping to italy..
I will mix them with Ds3...hope reaching good ocking results..
Will tell you when i'll get them (probably tomorrow)
;)
Let us know how they go on a DS3 :)Quote:

Isn't this one of the good bins other than D9DQT ?!
:confused:
I wanna know if these work in p5b and evga 680i. And of course I want to know some results. I wouldnt be surprised to see these sticks not performing very well due to their low bin and generic pcb's. However I could be very wrong.
IŽve picked 2 modules for a friend. WeŽll test it on my P5B Deluxe first so i hope this week i can show some results :)Quote:

Fabulastic. Let me/us know asap. :)Quote:

Weird :confused:
lol thats what ive been waiting for.i want to see some ocs.
Lithan you were supposed to get yours already :DQuote:

It was forwarded to my PO box, at the same post office the truck that delivers to us runs from...
Anyone who can figure out WHY it wasn't at the po box today wins a cookie. Because I certainly can't.
cause the driver is an overclocker and smelt FATBODY ICs in the box ;) :D
Just to spice things up, I thought fatbodies already discontinued long ago? And why is this guy suddenly have hundreds of 'em :fact:
probably just buffer stock from manufacturerQuote:

According to MACMAC, the guy didn't even know what fatbodies were initially, but I think that after a bunch of conversations with MACMAC, he apperantly realized that he should list them differently.
someone should BEAT UP macmac hahahah :p:Quote:

For what its worth, krag over at OCF, posted that he was able to hit 1200 on his set (2.5v) with the 2:3 divider on a Gigabyte board (DS3 I think).
i WANT TO SEE THAT SCREENSHOT :eek:Quote:

But no testing :(
Anyone know if they'll work okay in the Biostar P965 board? Or what board have people used in the past for overclocking Fatbody D9's with success?
From the pic linked below, and the others in that thread, I just don't think that these are BP PCBs. These look too "busy and cluttered" compared to most BP that I've seen.Quote:

Does anyone recognize the little emblem that is on the PCB? It is more visible in some of the others pics posted in that thread.
oh man this guy used the EL CHEAPO S3 board and got 1200MHz out of them
can someone ask him to provide a screenshots as it's HARD to believe
Well my friend and I both ordered 2GB each. You can't beat 2GB of any Micron at this price. I was going to get the Buffalo firestix for $240, but the price recently jumped by $20! Screw that.
No results yet?
Nope, keep your fingers crossed :rolleyes:
I'll be really suprised if this thing can work with the cheapest S3. Might build a cheap LAN box outta these stuff here :)
Ram STILL hasn't been put in my box. I'm off friday so if they aren't here by then, My worthless Post office gonna have "Some 'splainin ta doo!"
At this rate my second set will get here before my first.
LOL the guy acknowledged receipt of payment today ...guess i'll get mine in January hehehe
I'm really curious to hear from you especially on these sticks Lithan. Do let us know. :)Quote:

Sure, if you wanna put it that way. ;) :DQuote:

That's a deal. I love memory tweaking. :)Quote:

Yeah, you're right. They all gone now, time for benchies now. Just got my payment confirmation so have to wait for the shipping :DQuote:

First set arrived... but wont have time to test tonight. Tomorrow evening though.
WHAT?!?!?!?!?Quote:

Nice find dinos. Now let's see some results!
LOL i know this thread is heading to a bunch of pages with people asking for results hehehehQuote:

Couldn't you have just lied and said they'd be here tomorrow?! Now I wanna know. Indulge us ASAP.
THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT RESULTS :YIPPIE:
ok its about time :rolleyes: where are the results :banana: I wana see how well did these do :stick:
Waiting for my memory to :)
And so is my 965pt e6300 and mach2 also :toast:
A friend hit 600 5-5-5-x pretty easily. Not much as far as results go, but maybe it'll get you guys to keep your pants on. :p: So this stuff is pretty solid for sure.
Hot damn. At what voltage?Quote:

How long does this guy generally take to ship items after payment?
read his feedback.......most of the time it's OK but a few negative or neutral posts did indicate longer than normal postage....hopefully the postman knows how important the fatbody is.....speak to the postman speak to the postman speak to the postman deliver quickly deliver quickly delivery quickly hehehehh :DQuote:

Im limited by bios/board at that point. Will update bios and try for more asap.
that's VERY good for 2.1VQuote:
