F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK comptible motherboard list --4/15/08 updated--

[GSKILL TECH]

Would I be able to exchange this for something compatible from (G-Skill) with my board its only a few weeks old I don't mind if I have to pay extra?

for exchange you need to talk to the store.

Hello again g.skill tech and thank you for the continued support. I have tested it at 1000 with 1.9 volts and it passed memtest and seems stable in windows so far. At this point I'm not sure. Its either a setting, or the memory isn't auto setting itself right. I think I have found the value causing this as well. When I run at 1066 I get it auto set by the bios to these settings. 5-5-5-15 , and also:
trrd=4
trc=48
twr=6
twtr=10
tref=7.8us

Now I think the problem might be the TRC value. It auto detects this value at 48 into the bios. The problem is that the bios will only let me set this vaule as high as 31. I have an evga 780i with the most up to date bios, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Does gskill have some 2GB DDR2 DIMMs that will do 600+ the p45 boards allow? So far the only thing I've seen people doing such is with Crucial Ballistix.

you know what, i will test 780i and screen shot the memset for you to compare. from there we know what is the problem.
also i will take pic of slots that memory installed

not yet, and we don't want to use micron for DDR2 anymore because look at that RMA rate.....

[keiths]

The F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK have a high RMA rate? What's the failure? Micron's chips burnout I guess?

not F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK, they don;t use micron

When at Auto my Intel X38 board set TRC to 52. With the old bios versions, the board set TRC to 42 and many people had problems with 2x2GB Kits but I don`t know about the nforce chipsets.
You could try to relax other clocks, take a look at the second bioscreen with the clocks 11 and 4 here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...postcount=4744 and if you have this options, try to relax them to 11 and 4 and maybe higher voltage a little bit.

Here they do a review of this memory...with a P5B-Dlx
http://www.xtreme-mc.com/index.php?o...1&limitstart=4
Its the same of this post? what is the compatibility problem then?
thanks!

In the review it`s the GBPQ kit with PC2-8000 (1000Mhz), this thread here is about the GBPK kit with PC2-8500 (1066Mhz).
Which compability problem do you mean.

[cybergod909]

Hello again g.s. tech. I was wondering if you had a change yet to get those pics posted yet.

[eSp!s0]

2x 2GB GBPK 1030Mhz (515x7, 1:1) @ 1.94V, Asus Maximus Formula Bios 1102:

Just reached the 1111Mhz, but it`s the end when using VDimm in ram specs (2.0-2.1V).

[cybergod909]

Hello again g.skill tech. I wanted to know if you got the pics yet. Im not sure what to do im still stuck.

Hello again g.skill tech. I wanted to know if you got the pics yet. Im not sure what to do im still stuck.

i told to one of the customer yesterday

could you try this for me.

step
1. set everything on auto and it should post at DDR2 800

2. go into bios and change votlage to 1.9v and save.

3. load windows. if no problem, restart your computer can go into bios again

4. change to DDR2 1066 and change to 2.05v, leave timing on auto, save an exit

5. load to windows, if no problem, restart your computer again and go to bios and change to CL5-5-5-15 and rest on auto

6. load windows and see any problem or not

if you get BOSD or any problem, let me know which step you have BOSD

yes there are few issues with DFi motherboard, and 333/800 is one of them. that is why we don't recommend DFi X48 for this model of memory

After a lot of hassle with this memory and my DFI LT X48 board I finally RMA'd the motherboard and the new one has been fine with the G-Skill PK PC2-8500C5 able to run at 333/800 as well as 333/1066 no problem

i wonder there is difference between every batch, becasue no matter what i do, it just no run

Will this memory work with the P5Q Deluxe?

Will this memory work with the P5Q Deluxe?

Planning on using this kit with an Asus P5Q E here. Can a G.skill rep respond to this please? If G.Skill doesn't respond i should have the kit and board here on Thursday and will report my results.

[GSKILL TECH]

yes it works on p5q-e
haven't see a p45 motherboard has problem with this memory

re: eSp!s0
I was able to run 4gigs of 8500CL5D at 1113.2mhz @ 5-5-5-15

With 8gigs I was unable to break 1066mhz.

Right on.....thanks for the reply.

Confirmed working on Asus P5q-e and DFI Lanparty LT P35 T2R at 1066+

Hi, what voltage do you need for the 1113.2mhz?

Edit: You have an Asus Rampage Formula, you have 2 ram options more than I have which can make the ram go higher, I don`t remember the names anymore!?

[Zucker2k]

I have nothing but good things to say about this memory... Everyone needs to get a pair and their dirt cheap.
