update @ 4/15/08

are these compatible with the DFI LP UT P35 T2R?
THX

I am running the P35-DS3R with a Q6600 at 450x8. Can this Ram run at a 1000 at 400fsb with a 2.5 divider? I noticed that the manual talks about using 266fsb and 333fsb.
Thx,
Utnorris

I guess I am not going to get an answer. Oh well, lets see what else is out there.

Utnorris

450FSB is not the stock FSB, we don't guarantee it works or not. sorry

asus p5w DOES NOT WORK with this ram. :banana::banana::banana::banana: will not even get to 1000 speeds. Stay away.

thx for the info

By any chance do you have p5w mobo to test the ram on? I'm wondering if i just got bad sticks but chances are ram timings are just not relaxed on p5w because it locks up pretty much all ram control.

i don't have P5W in here to test. but i believe P5W doesn't have TRFC at 52+ and that will cause a lot of problem

p5w sets it at 42 which pretty much gives me ddr2 900 speeds tops. Going to RMA the sticks and order another 4gig kit. Think F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK will work fine with p5w?

no it won't. they both require trcf 52+

Well thats a shame. No idea what i'm going to rma those sticks for.

Is it possible to let me know on what is based this recomendation ??

Is it because puts in danger the components ?

Thank you.

Regards.

we tested many 680i and 650i and all of them have problem to run 4 sticks of memory. even confirmed with many motherboard companies

Will I have any problems using only 2 sticks on my 650i SLI? Thanks!

installing windows xp, but my pc will not boot with 2 sticks installed....

i hope i wont have to RMA one of them :(

the problem is auto volt is 1.8V...
not enough for these sticks

This RAM was recommended to me and I was wondering if it is compatible with my Epox MF570 SLI mobo?

Thank you!

Compatible with Dfi Lt X48?

I've purchused the F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK product and installed it on my NEW maximus formula
but for unknown reason I can't get it to work as it shuold - 1066mhz.
I followed that PDF explaining how to install the DIMMs but it still didn't work.
The Maximus formula manual says to change the bios configuration to DDR2-1066 and I did.
The G.skill product requiers 2.0-2.1v and that's what I set.
Unfortunatly the computer doesn't load with these configurations.
I've tried the forums but nothing worked for me.
I ran a test with MEMTEST and it had no errors.

PLEASE help me understand what am I doing wrong???

THANK YOU

Hey.
Bios ver is 1102.
I'm sorry to inform that I have no idea how or why but suddenly it works perfectly.
The reason I'm sorry is because I spent full 4 days trying to understand whats wrong, including time on the roads to get back to the store again and again where I bought the DIMMs.

Anyway, last thing I did was testing the memory on Asus P5K-R and it worked with no problem. Getting back to my computer, I threatend it that I'm sending it back. I guess that did the change. =)
All I did was entering bios, changing the configuration to DDR2-1066 with everything else on Auto, without changing volts settings.
Everything works now.

Thanks for your quick support!

R.

How about their compatibility with the p5q-e?

Any compatibility issues with the Maximus II Formula?

Up! :)

no problem, M2F takes 1066 no problem, don't think any problem for 1000

Confirmed. 1000 works great on my Maximus II Formula too.

Works fine on my Asus board (650i) with 6 GB in total @5-5-5-15, 500MHz (100MHz) @2.175v, NB voltage @1.56v

Asus P5N-E SLI:

G.Skill F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ - 2GB installed in the black slots (pair furthest away from the MCH, higher drive strength for weaker modules)
G.Skill F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ - 4GB installed in the yellow slots (closest to the MCH)

Actively cooled with a 80mm fan on top.

The 2GBNQ pair (6400) needed 2.175v to run fully stable @500MHz, I'm confident this system will run with 8GB of this stuff.


NB actively cooled with slow 60mm panaflo fan on stock heatsink, stock thermal paste replaced with Arctic Ceramique paste, voltage must be set to 1.56v or higher to work.

Any info for Asus P5Q-E ? I just installed 8GB last night and its not stable.

Another report, 8GB of these modules works 100% stable on Asus P5K @5-5-5-15 2T 500MHz 2.1v

Thank's! :)

Any compatibility issues with the P5Q dlx?

Is this ram compatible with the GIGABYTE GA-G31M-ES2L Micro ATX Intel Motherboard? If it's compatible what would the ram settings be to run it at 2.1v? Thanks in advance! :)

does G31M has voltage change to 2.1v?

i have a friend has G31M i will ask him

I did a build using the G31M-S2L mobo but used GSkill 2GB (2x1GB) F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ ram. Within the mobo bios I was not able to change the voltage.

I have another build to do & I have the G.Skill F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ - 4GB ram but I had to RMA the cpu and Gigabyte EP35-DS3L mobo back to newegg. Unfortunately newegg doesn't have the mobo instock at the moment so I may have to use a different mobo. I was thinking of getting the Gigabyte G31M-ES2L which replaced the G31M-S2L. That's why I'm asking if this G.Skill F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ is compatible with that mobo.

Installed this memory in the rig in my sig. The only thing I adjusted was the Memory Divider, set it to 333/667 (1:1 resulting in 934MHz), the main timings, and the VDimm (2.1 down from 2.2V). Left everything else on auto. Booted OK, but failed OCCT and Prime within minutes.
Went into the BIOS and set FSB to 333 with 266/800 divider (2:3 resulting in 1000MHz) and it seemed to be fine. I didn't run the full gamut of stress tests, but enough to see that it was working much better.
I tightened up the tRFC to 48 from 52 and the Performance Level (tRD) to 7 from 8. This gave me a tRFC of 3120 vie 2600. It ran even better, but, if I left those changes in the BIOS, it wouldn't even POST at FSB 467.
Will this memory run at FSB 467?

Any support for G Skill products?

on default looks like. it maybe the memory is not good to using 1:1 divider on your motherboard. and sorry we are not able to help you to check any overclocking compatiblie result

Good grief. Should have stuck with OCZ.

Hello,

I just bought 8GB (4x2GB) of F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ and was wondering what were the best settings to use in the BIOS (version F5) for this memory?

It's running on :
Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3P
Intel Q9450

I would really appreciate some help, as I've tried a couple of different things that didn't work ( seemed it could only jumoo from 800mhz to 1066 so tried running at 800mhz with 4-4-4-12) and had to recover the BIOS at some point... never had to adjust timings in the BIOS before, but CPUZ tells me it'S only running at 800Mhz...

Thanks for any help (yes, I'm a newbie at fine tuning...) :)

I have 8GB of PQ 8000 coming so I will see if it works on p5e(rampaged) and then either P5Q-deluxe or Maximus II formula.

:up:

These work flawlessly on a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P at stock settings. 8 gigs worth too! :up:

I'll update on overclocking later...

does this 2x2gb kit work with the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R?

i'm having some freezing problems. freezes regardless of idle/load. usually within 24 hours

It seems P5Q-E by default overtightens subtimings. I had to set almost everything manually to make it stable. Currently running 4x2 GB @ 1000 5-5-5-15 on my P5Q-E. Had to give it a little bit of vDimm too, 2v.

great specs rmanuelb.
