I always wonderd why the Mushkin PC6400 Cas 443 stuff was so low key here, I had a hunch that it was some great ram... and boy was I right
heres some previews of what I did with them yesterday.
I just got these yesterday, so all this is very preliminary, so I dont fully know the quirks of this ram yet, but heres alittle I can say so far.
I've tested every latency combination that I normally use, at the 2 volt setting so far, to find the max with each cas. so far, cas 5-5-4-12 at 2.0 volts seems like a sweet spot for 550, or 1100 mhz, and cas 5-4-4-10 is good for about 560, or 1020 mhz.
thats pretty cool for a low voltage overclock.
but the real fun, for me, is the high voltage overclocking, so how about getting to that.
this ram uses the Micron D9GMH.
it's extremely responsive to extra voltages, and boots just fine, error free, right into windows for me at 2.88 volts... the highest voltage I currently have available to me.
Hardware Used.
650 watt Mushkin PSU + 250 Thermaltake VGA PSU.
Asus P5B Deluxe, WiFI version. Bios 0614.
PowerColor X1950XTX.
E6300 that tops out just below 3.9 ghz on air.
2 x 150 gig raptors/raid zero + 400 gig slave.
Creative Xfi.
CD/DVD Burners...
and the Mushkin PC6400.
Voltages adjustable to 2.88 volts Via Hipro DDR2 Maximizer.
(great toy if you dont want to volt mod something)
Tests.
Initial tests, 10 rounds of Memtest 86 test #5 before trying in Windows.
then Super Pi Mod 1.5.
thats it so far.
(remember I just got this yesterday)
I run test 5, cause I find if I can pass that a dozen times or so, then I can probably pass 32M and 3Dmark as well... so it saves me time testing with that first.
for the 475 cas 3-3-3 shot, that was done with booting into windows at cas 3-3-3 at 450, at 2.8 volts, then clockgening to 475.
however, with how easy it was to pass 32M at 475, I think 485 might be possible as well. 490+ doesn't seem possible yet... but then again, I have alot of tweaking to do, so who knows
heres the max I got.
2.88 volts.
(So damn close to 500... just need more voltage...)
this shot here is a personal favorite, cause I like ram that can run ras to cas 3 at 1 ghz.... unfortunatly, I forgot what voltage I used for this shot... will do more testing later anyways, so I will find out then.
this next shot, is just a moderate overclock, showing the max I got at 2.25 volts. nothing too interesting I suppose, but I wanted to try and be alittle thorough on the range I am showing, high voltage and low voltage OC's.
this shot I like alot too, cause it was done at 2.3 volts, and is extremely stable and easy to reach. 1066 mhz, cas 4-4-4-4 or PC8500 speed.
I definatly like that.
this is a 100% boot up shot, not clockgen or memset shot.
