G.Skill 2GBZX DDR400 2-3-2-5 Test
-
-
Wait a minute....
26x-27ish 5-2-3-3.0 for $221 ??? Wow :) Any idea on what the average/typical OC could be for that line?
-
noice, now lets see what it can do with 3-3-3-5
please..... :)
-
i think it max out avg is 260 +- 5
cuz i just picked two kit from 50+ of them, one does DDR510~DDR520, abd this one does much better than other

i tryed it before and it doesn't help to OC.
-
sweet review G.S. Tech :slobber: could you tell me witch chips on these sticks?
-
can i trade in my gskill 2gb pc4000 for these? cuz mine are duds that can't OC past 255 :(
-
How about some test with intel?
-
I think I'm byuing this set as soon as newegg has them in stock? Was this an off the shelf pair or is it one of those super dooper sets that the people at g.skill picked for you?

He himself is one of the people at g.skill and as he said he picked two kits out of 50+ and this one does better than the other.... Nice results at a very nice price!!! :toast:
-
So what is the difference to F1-3200BIU2-2GBHX?
Both PC3200 and same timings unless newegg has a typo:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231034
-
Only thing I see is that one has a Z and the other an H. Since Z is later in the alphabet that H, I'm gonna take that one. Kidding, kidding, I'd like to know as well why one is $50 mor ethan the other?

man, LA is a bit cold today.
2GBHX is our another item. it price is higher than HS, HZ, and ZX. be sure order the right. the chip, i don't want to say i don't know, but i can't tell due to my business contract. I think 2GBZX max at 260 +- 5 but that just my thought. but i had heard from my friends said that 2 of his set, 1 OC to 262 and 1 only OC to 248.
remember i picked 2 sets too. 1 of the set does 251. so i took the avg is around 260+-5 or 248~270. it is a big range.
however, the price for 2GBZX is much much lower than anyother OC-able 2GB kit.
compare with 250+ from our other products and 300+ from other companies.
-
also i am sorry i don't have intel's mobo. g.skill tw hasn't mail me one yet!
i want a DDR2 and DDR intel mobo too
-
These have been out a month or so right? The weird thing that 2 or 3 days ago I saw the kit on newegg, or at least I thought I did, and a few hours later it was gone and it wasn't listed as out of stock either, the single 1gb sticks are. The kit was for $221 I believe and the singles are $117. Any clue as to who else sells these?
-
Your not crazy. I saw it day before yesterday and was waiting till payday on Friday to buy. They completely vanished without a trace. It was $221.
-
I went to get a set as well and its gone :( The single sticks are OOS as well. Send Newegg some more ram G.Skill! :) I am waiting for a review of the $275 set.
-
:) another shipment was done on tuesday, i think they will has it in a day or two
HX is working on it. sry i am also busy on other office work :(

The fact you actually reply every day is great. I will buy G.Skill just because of the support! :toast: :cool:

I can't say the IC due to my business contract, sorry

Between the HS, HZ, and ZX, which 2gb set would you suggest for someone who wants to run them at around 245 won a divider? For someone looking for the highest overclock from them? I'm leaning towards the ZX at the moment.
-
I believe these ic's are Infineon be-6's. They seem to act identical to mine. Great memory might I add.

I'm looking for the same range of perf , and I think this 2g GBZX is the winner , low cost for good perf , all that I want.
-
Heres what im getting with them, I actually got the timings a little tighter and a higher pi but cant find the pic

It's in stock again, I just ordered mine minutes ago.

OH MY GOD, its OOS again. They must of got like 2 kits :( Im sad, I was set on ordering some. :mad:
-
Why would I choose this set over the DDR500? The DDR500 will give me the same timing at DDR400, in all likelyhood, and it is only $20 more.

mine can't not do 500 CL2.5 :(
u got a better one :)
i think Newegg will got another shipment by today, i hope.....
-
nope, they have an ETA of 10/25, so that's tuesday. Also, how come they have the mem rated at 2-3-3-6 now? It was at 2-3-2-5.
-
it should be 2-3-2-5
i will inform this to them
-
If you look you will see that the 1x 1 GB single module ZX has the correct timings. It is the 2x 1 GB kit of the same modules which has the incorrect ones.
What's up with the sticks with much worse timings being only $2 cheaper? Doesn't make any sense.
Not to mention the HX prices which make even less sense.
Somebody needs to do some cleanup there :)
-
don't worry, they were few wrong sticker 2GBZX i sent to newegg b4, and those were recall it. all 2GBZX is rate @ 2-3-2-5, not 2-3-3-6
-
Could you post some tests for the HX series please?
-
BACK IN STOCK AT THE EGG
grabbed a kit :D
-
I think the 2 kits we got were RMA returns, maybe not. I just saw that they still have them for sale.

Wow, that's nice. Are they stable at 2-2-2-5? Try it at 8ns/5-6ns.
-
I picked up a set from Newegg yesterday! I will post my results with the ABIT-AN8 Fatality. Needless to say if I can't get 1T I am selling this POS board!!!

today i will personally ship 30 pairs to CA LA's warehouse and ship out another 30 pairs to NJ's warehouse, so will be back to stock soon
-
I saw the older benchies by Kakaroto on the HS sticks.. those are listed in that thread as samsung UCCC as well. These are infenon ce-6's right? Hrmm. Both the HS and ZX are comparable in price but I went with the ZX's. Hope I made the right choice :)
-
all morning i am doing this.......
memtest test forever......
http://premium1.uploadit.org/gskill/2GBZX/2721zx.JPG
http://premium1.uploadit.org/gskill/2GBZX/2722zx.JPG
i get to say this one is above the average, maybe 1 out of 5, i tested total 5 pairs, average is around 260+-5 3-3-2-5, for $220- 2GB kit, it is very good.
-
I asked in the Gskill forum but no one answered.
What is the difference between HX and ZX?
-
I only need mine to do 246mhz, but If they do 270 and my CPU can handle it on the 183 divider, that will be awesome. We'll I get them tomorrow so I'll be tweaking like a mofo.

H series I think uses Samsung UCCC modules while the Z series uses Infenon CE-6 modules.
The second letter is their speed binned rating I think.

For test, no difference between 3/4/4/8 and 3/3/2/5 :confused:
Edit : I don't know why, but HX is wrote on CPU-Z information, ZX is wrote on Heatspreader :stick:

price is much different :)
i will tell you all, HX is not super good on OC
but 250 2.5-3-2-5 is very easy for HX

it is very good result
i think they somehow burnt SPD wrong for 100+ kits....
not really matter, heheeee 210 -> 270 XD
i will inform taiwan tonight :)
-
Ok, HX is better than ZX ?

that was my typo, HX is not a super easy OC ram
but its chip is ,uch more expensive :)
-
the ce-6 can go alot higher than 260 at loose timings. its got to be a B version.

ok, what was the better voltage for your modules ? Can I put more than 3.2v ?
http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/2364/timingd6bm.png
I'll use these timings, are they good you think ?
-
Well, my ram seems to suck, terribly.

what happened?
-
It can't do 246 at 3-3-3-8, 2.8v, 9ns/7ns. Maybe I should try less voltage?
at stock it's ok with 2-3-2-5 7ns/5ns. I'll tinker with it. I tried your settings that you used at 250 and they didn't work either.
-
Also I think I was right about the RMA thing, these had fingerprints on tem and a scratch or two.

that is kinda weird, i use 702-1 bios. it seem fine to me.
try 200 2-3-2-5 2.7v 6ns 5ns level 7 / 3
let me know. i will check here every 10 mins

show me some pictures, i might need to talk to reseller.
-
Pictures of scratches?
I'll post them up later if you don't mind. I'm going to start at 200mhz and work my way up for now. I should be using 7/3 for strengths?
Do you use yellow or orange slots?

yea 7/3 works best for all my ram, but it might be different for yours. however i will try 7/3 1st.
scratches pics might helps me to talk to reseller

my msn is us.gskill.tech@gmail.com
welcome for anyone to join for "help" only please

Ok, I'll get the pics in a few minutes. Which color mem slots do you use, orange or yellow, or does it not matter. I have the 704-2bta bios.

i use orange
it has more c-vitamin. just kidding! :)
-
So I tried to run it 2-2-2-5 and no video came on. There was only one red LED lit which means everything is fine, but no video came on, hmmm.
Also, compared to my old 2x512 kit, this ram has much less bandwidth and more latency at the same speeds as the other set. Is his the norm for 2gb sets? At 2-3-2-5 I'm getting 4800mb read and 2000 write whee my old kit was about 6000/2500.
-
no 2-2-2-5, only 2-3-2-5 will work
and it should be 6000/2500 around there, but need to check your cpu speed too
-
Duuuuuh, I'm running it at 1600mhz. I didn't think that would matter in a memory bandwidth benchmark.
Also I see that you smartguardian says you have 2.89v on the mem which is really more like 2.95. Did you notice if more volts let you OC higher?
-
it well matter but not too much :)
-

trcd i think 3 or 4 will ok. 2 is not going to wrok.
other looks good to me
-
Hej :)
After reading this post I've decided to give G.Skill a try. I've ordered 2GB ZX and hope to get ~240 MHz 2.5-3-2-8 T1 :banana: with ~2.75V on X2 4200+. I'will post my results as soon as I get my RAM. Or should I exchange my kit for HX???
Pawel
-
i think HX is good too but just price too high compare with 2gbzx
-
1 Attachment(s)
-
Thats why I decided to try ZX first :) 225$ for 2GB if I reach that speed would make me extreme happy :D
BTW - great job here. If not this forum I would never buy G.Skill :toast:

Yep, I have my cpu running 230x8 and this is running 1:1 with 7/3 as you recommended.
Ok, now those settings don't boot anymore.
-
it show normal on the a64, if it is level 7 should be weak
-
Yeah, you're right. Ok, I'm trying 210 now at 3-3-3-8.
-
This is why I think it's either an RMA set or a refurb. After I paid for it, on the invoice it said f13200phu2-2gbzx R. Now, at first I thought it stood for retail but the next day I went back, the memory was out of stock and the R was gone. It didn't say R anywhere until I paid for it, then the R shows up and it's also on the invoice that came with the package.

honestly im gonna be a little pissed if they are

I have 230Mhz on 2.5-4-3-5 1T
-
They will not be RMA returns.
The only way to get used parts for new is when you order a complete but non-retail PC at a smelly shop around the corner.
-
Newegg sells their RMA'd DFI boards as refurbs, maybe other brands too, if they find there is nothing wrong with them. Why wouldn't they do that with ram and maybe not let people know?

It won't work for me... If I cant reach 235-240 at CAS 2.5, I'm selling this memory and going OCZ Platinum 4000 EB, but I still hope it can be done with G.Skill as it would save me 100$ :p:
GS Technician - in case of failure is there a chance to exchange my ZX kit for HX if I cover price difference???
Thanks
Pawel
-
thats not a very fair question. If they were guarenteed they would be called ddr500 or whatever. There only rated to 400, if they do that then there is no reason to rma. No overclock is guranteed. These kind of questions and reaction are what got duaonger of mushkin in trouble. Please stay clear of getting the reps in trouble. they are here to inform us, just be glad he can show us that they can overclock at all.

Can't believe this question hasn't been asked a little louder. How in the name of the OC gods did you get the multi to 15 on an Opteron 146? Maybe I just haven't been paying attention but as far as I know the multi is locked going up.
