Patriot pc-5300 LLK

[NJDevilsFan21]

I've either got some funky ram or it's my DS3.

I tried 1000Mhz @ 2.2V and sometimes it is stable and sometimes it is not. Like Memtest86 was moving along fine, passed twice, I hit esc to reboot and the thing freezes. So I turn the power-off, and turn it on, it boots fine. I change the divider to lower it back down to 800Mhz and 2.0V

This is really hard to test for stability

Let's confuse everyone!!

Black PCB...Elpida chips


I don't have a pic of my green PCB, but they were D9GCT's. The Elpida chips did 4.4.4.12 @ 800 w/ 2.1V. The Micron's couldn't hit those timings @ 800 w/ any V...go figure.

Screw it, I have some Crucial 10th in there now.

hey, how did you remove the heatspreader?
And can i put the heatspreader back on(will the white thing still stick to the heatspeader en IC's)?
I want to know it for sure if i have D9.

I just wrapped a screwdriver in a tshirt and twisted them til they popped off. Some of the spreaders weren't even touching the pads anyway...probably not going to hurt anything.

And you could put the heatspreader back? Because then i have my warranty back

You can use any thin hard plastic blade and lever it so that it lifts the heatspreader. I would start at the edge with least resistors so you don't ruin the ram. Lift it slowly and you will see the thermal tape starts pulling up from the ram chips, once you have enough clearance to see the text on the chip, shine a bright light into it and peek to see what chip it is. No need to pull the whole thing off.

Done, i have D9GCT:

Is this better/even/worse then D9GMH/GKX?

[Vizion]

worse...I had it before in my PC2-5300LLK, it will do 400+ but hard to hit 500.

D9GCT is a lower speedbin than D9GMH & D9GKX, and will overclock less.

D9GCT = 266MHz CAS 4
D9GMH = 333MHz CAS 5
D9GKX = 400MHz CAS 5

Your results so far probably won't improve much.

So a vdimm mod doesn't improve anything?

If I understand correctly you're getting the same speeds at 2.3V as you are at 2.45V, so there's a good chance the modules are simply maxed out.

It's likely that doing a voltmod won't get you any further with these modules, but it will always come in handy in case you're thinking of getting a different kit.

[badhabit]

These new developments disputing the link between PCB color and chip type make me want to take my heatspreaders off! Just need to get some sinks for the chips.

However, I think I probably have D9GCT at best, judging from my kit's performance.

I have 2x1GB DDR2-800LL.. One module burned from stupid P5B-D. Mine is like yours (chips), but hit ~930 4-4-4-12 2.25V, 1100 5-5-5-15 2.25
Now I will get SuperT800CL4/Corsair 6400C4

Any help me dump SPD with this tool http://www.techpowerup.com/spdtool/SPDTool_055.zip and send me to powercore@mail.ru Thanks!!!

Hello, after 6h i bought these rams, and i have green PCB, so i have D9 chips under HS?!

Sorry for my bad english !

Yes, but it will probably be D9GCT.

[HeUeR]

Yes, but it will probably be D9GCT.

and what its means !?

Sorry for mu Bad English !

[Gam3Ra]

It means little bit smaller OC than D9GMH, but is good!

[HeUeR]

But on Green PCB may be Elpida Chips or only D9 ?!

Sorry for my bad English !

[HeUeR]

Eh on my ram have Elpida chips And only go @ 900

Yeah D9CGT is lowest performance but I would get them over other non-micron ICs (I think).

So the green PCB ones are D9CGT huh? I'd like to pick some up then. This looks like the best deal so far (except for back when you could get Ballistix 800 For $199-$229 with rebate...2 GB kit)

[barzi]

Ah, but mine D9GCT goes good, for me then. I don't need 600+ mem, because i don't want to use LN2 or something, and i think 1:1 is faster then 1:2 or something. Mine can doe 535 4-4-4-4(i don't try better timings) on 2.3v, that's enough for me. The Patriot mem was very cheap for me. So if you don't overclock die hard(ln2 and stuff), and you can get this patriot mem(with d9!!) cheaper then other stuff, i would go for this pair.

I'm using a P5B-E, the first rev, which limits me to 2.1V on the ram. I must have some very good sticks because I can get them stable to 545(1090) (1:1 ratio) 2.1V 5-5-5-18. 5-5-5-15 at 1080.

They were stable at 4-4-4-12 up to about 900 with 2.0V.

I dont really notice much difference jumping up to 5-5-5-15 and 18 at these speeds. Does it make much of a difference? Is 5-5-5-18 actually hurting me?

[Tirex]

As to what I said above. I'm going to run some benchmarks and see really if there is any effect across a wide range of speeds. From what I've seen though, latency doesnt seem to matter.

I tried 5-5-5-18 @ 1000Mhz at 2.1V and got a 3 point increase in the computer test over 4-4-3-9 @ 800Mhz at 2.0V - so not worth it for me.

[dexx]

where is a good place to buy these sticks?
