Finally the sticks I've been waiting for... looking good man, any word on retail price ?

Wow, 1333 on a 4GB kit? Good stuff.

Nice review! Any ideas on how much these sticks will cost? :D

:clap:

Is is really only HCI stable to its rated speed?

Coolaler showed it running DDR2-1200 HCI stable also here. He showed DDR2-1500 as well, but i assume not stable at all.

Regardless, this is some truely wondrously binned ProMOS :)

editted because my IC info was bad

had a feelin they be binnin them to 1200+ soon
lookin good little review
but how stable is it

coolaler's DDR2 1500 is not 1500, CPUz read it wrong, he stated on his thread.
i didn't really do memtest other than 1200 because under 1280, i know it is not stable. don't even bother to run HCI :P

i think guess is reffering to original thread on coolaler's forum

What about some high fsb testing?

What chips are on this PI series? Nice results btw.:up:

excellent review:up: when are these going to be available and for how much?

Nice stuff Denny. ;)

WTF...he posted a ton of results on OCX without a single mention that the screenies were a lie. :down:
And Everest is reading the wrong numbers too?

ProMOS.

editted because my IC info was bad

this mems are amazing...

good job guess2098, 668MHz - 10K read bandwidth - latency 50.8ns :eek:

Great stuff Denny, very impressive.

Guawowo :eek:

Here's to hoping the price is right!

i am testing high FSB right now. QX9650 has hard time to run at 480 tho


also testing 1000 4-4-3-15 now

UPDATE CL4, high FSB test, please see post #1

These chips are really nice!

Thanks for testing!

when are these going to be officially on sale? i'm looking on many shops on europe and usa but can't find them yet, only 8800-4gbPI

nice stuff anyway :D

-----HIGH FSB TEST WITH E8400-----
memory set to 2.3v DDR2 1327 5-5-5-15, FSB 553mhz 1.6v, NB 1.6v
Everest Read ~11k, write ~12k

Omg, that kit is insane! I'm eager to buy one.:yepp:

Are you really sure about that? Seems to be something else imo:confused:

guess2098: heard anything about retail price at launch? and avaliblity, when?
