G.Skill announces 4GB DDR2-1066 kit

[Spyrus]

Any overclocking news on them ? Can they hit 550+ or should i steak on PC8000 ones at around 540+MHz?

[FlyBoyGeo]

Ive been trying to get them as high as possible, but it seems my evga 780i board has a huge fsb hole above 433. Ran them no problems at 533 of course unlinked and unsynced.

I just run Everest at 550Mhz 5-5-5-5-15-48 2.1v.
Memtest stable.

Config:
Core2Quad Q6600
DFi LP DK P35_T2RS
G-Skill PK PC8500 _ PCB 8 layers
Sapphire HD3870 512MB

9x440Mhz_ Div 4:5 @ 550Mhz


8x440Mhz_ Div 4:5 @ 550Mhz

Either P35 cannot handle 8GB at DDR2-1000 speed ( never mind DDR2-1066) or
this memory is just not good enough.

Yeah I'm going to have to go with the former, the memory is clearly good enough and its the mobo thats letting you down.

[GSKILL TECH]

currently i am sure the following motherboard is ok to run 8GB 1066 2v

Abit IX38
Asus X38 Maximus Formula

the moterboard for sure is not working

Asus P5N-D ( Even with micron D9 can't pass 1033, any suggestion? NB, FSB voltage increased )
Asus Commando, TRFC can't Auto at 52. F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ, F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK incompatible

What about P35-based boards?

Can you please define more specifically what is your definition of "OK". Have you tried to test 8GB with Linpack? Memtest86+ is just not enough.

other motherboards test are still in process
test with game, sp2004 and 16x 32m

Oh no, please don't tell me it's your standard testing technique

Any chance you can do real testing?

none of the test is good enough

i rather tests with games, sp2004 and 32M
haven't see any memory can play crysis, wow, passed sp2004 and 32m but not stable

Can you try Linpack? If nothing else, just for the fun and new life experience.

im so interested in these, i want to know they will do 550 at least though..

[TEDY]

too bad they're 50% expensive then other model....

Can they run on Abit with any divider?

[Richard Dower]

The price has dropped by $20!

$170 with free shipping, it'll need to drop a bit more for me to be really interested though.

Picked up a pair about 15 minutes ago, been interested in these for a while.

[Spyrus]

The interesting part starts at 550 MHz @ 5-5-5-x

[doakh]

NCIXUS has then in stock. Just picked up a kit.

i mean on a consistant basis... im wondering if they are worth the price premium over the 1000's

[iadstudio]

We just need to know what the performance difference is between the 8000 and 8500 as I've seen some pretty impressive tests on the 8000 kits. $70 is a big difference and I don't see how it's worth is.

[doakh]

Are 2x2Gb memory kits as easy to overclock as 2x1GB memory kits. I know that 4x1GB do not overclock as well as 2x1GB kits.

[zfactor]

no def not 2 x 1gb kits will overclock better than 2 x 2gb kits will

[doakh]

My 2x2GB 8500 GBPK just died on my after one day. I was running 556MHz at 2.1v. That is about the maximum they will go. I was surprised how warm they were when I took them out, as opposed to my 2x1GB 6400 HZ's. If you consider they are 2GB's on a single sheet, it no wonder there were cooking. I would be very dubious of getting 2GB memory without some cooling fins on them at least. I now personally think it is a waste of money to get any PC2 8500 memory as they are just 'hyped' up PC2 6400 memory.
I am currently running 2x1GB 6400 HZ's at 534Mhz at 1.90v. I think I might just up the voltage and see if I can hit 600MHz for 24/7 use (50% overclock). The X38 chipset seems to require less voltage for memory than previous chipsets.
I have to give cudos to NCIXUS, as they are giving me a full refund!

They've been running fine at 1066Mhz 5-5-5-15 for 2.5 weeks now. The difference between 533 and 550 is not enough for me to even set.
