Nice clocks :up: I'm going to guess one of the 1600 6-7-6 kits. Very interested to know which kit in particular as well.

Forgive me for asking but what os are you running? As of right now i can't even complete Super-Pi 16meg or 32meg. I'm running Vista Ultimate 64bit with SP2. I tried everything listed in the fixes and even the drag half off the screen and run and it still crashes randomly.

But the sticks rocks, very nice indeed. I wonder what ic's are on my Kingston HyperX T1 2,000mhz 6gig tri-channel ram.....
Keep up the good work, always like reading your finds in the hardware department.

Good Day

I tried on both 32-bit vista business and 32-bit XP both passed with flying colors!

I try to get good hardware and my wallet suffers for it lol, err... sometimes bleeds lol

i got mine from the priceguidenetwork. ordered a set of 2000mhz mushkin redlines from them a couple weeks ago, and i guess they don't actually stock the ram, so mushkin sends it direct to you from their headquarters in colorado. so you definitely get the freshest stuff since its coming straight from mushkin to you.

So if the 3x1 kit is Hypers, am I to assume that the 3x2 kit is also Hypers? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820226030

Wait, Mushkin has a headquarters in CO?

Why on earth did it take them like 8 months to send my rebate! :shakes:

Great find now i'm sure i can have some fun with these babes. Totally curious towards my I7 rig which should all arrive tommorrow. Happy clockin' so far.

Well.. timings/freq is adequate to Hyper's.. nothing exceptionl. But Hypers for 70 bucks? Whoa.. :) Kinda wish to know which kit it is and more.. if 3x2GB's are same.. even if Hyper's tends to die recently, still for 70 USD? :D Worth trying.

I will be staying as far away as possible,even if it is dirt cheap, from any kind of Elpida Hypers until the new 55nm fabrication process matures and until they don't die when using it in conventional 24/7 operations.They are great for benching but drop dead like flies when they are stressed for a longer periods of time(as simple as overnight Memtest).This is with just stock or a bit over stock voltages in my case(1.65-1.68).I mean spending money is one thing(I don't mind spending insane amount of money on my favourite hobby), but the worst and frustrating part is figuring out why your OC that was rock solid stable before has become very(I mean VERY) unstable suddenly. I have been there and done that so many times with so many kits with Elpida Hypers on them. The sad part is I have experienced it so much that I could tell that the RAM has degraded(by just looking at the symptoms) without even running Memtest . I only run Memtest for a confirmation and the RMA process starts.:mad::shakes:.

Yea, I've seen quite a lot of ppl complaining on them.. but didn't tough its "that" bad.. Well.. Micron FTW. :) I was going to buy 3x dirty cheap single OCZ's with probably D9GTS. :D (at least according to crazy 1.9V voltages and very very tight timings).

Nice results, Mushkin's amazing. Their DDR2 RAM doesn't always clock as well as the competition, but their customer service and warranty is far and away the best in the business. You can even trade in your old modules for credit to buy new ones...that's why I'm getting the 6GB kit linked above for $75 off :yepp:

I have a set of these coming today :yepp: Board and CPU aren't coming till next week :shakes:

I had 2 HyperX and 2 Corsair GT sticks die on me, that's 4 different kits from two different brands. The only Hyper E that have not died yet(knock on wood) are the one from Patriot.
