Kingston HyperX Elpida Hyper Replacements

[Lu(ky]

LOL after posting the above I decided to open the other package I had of the Kingston HyperX and I thought my first batch was bad. I have 1 dead stick in first set and now this set has 2 dead sticks second batch .. I decided to buy the Mushkins Redlines 1600Mhz CL6 for now. I still need to RMA both packs now So again is calling better for replacements or setup RMA online?

Thanks

Hey guys found out one of my stick went bad as well. My question is under the Kingston RMA process it is asking me this -->"Item 1: A discontinued/Obsoleted part number is entered, it can only be repaired. Please choose Repair as Type of RMA and Repair/Discontinued as Reason For Return." So they will only fix the stick now and not replace all of them? Should I call them to setup the RMA process or email it to start? I want a new complete set not thrown together and sent back to me. I see allot of guys RMAing which is better calling or emailing? Thanks

I did the same RMA you did and it said the same thing. Don't worry, I got an e-mail shortly after doing the RMA informing me that they were replacing with KHX2000C8D3T1K3/6GX but they didn't have any in stock and they would arrive 10/5/09. They got new stock 10/4 and overnighted to me which I received 10/5/09.

Just complete the RMA online, they aren't going to fix your kit.

Thank you deachus and your new kit looks like it working well..

That's what I can get from the new kits on a P55 System so far....

well i just set my 3x1 kit up for rma, as one stick suddenly decided it doesnt wanna post

Just got another pack of Kingston HyperX C8-2000 6GB from 2nd hand market for 8GB/12GB action.
During some initial test I've found something interesting.
Seems the early batches of new part number pack of Kingston HyperX is still using MNH-E Hyper.
The reason for this is because the nature of MGH-E Hypers are slightly different from MNH-Es.
With 2nd handed sticks I cannot run 2200 @ CAS 8 but can stablise 7-8-7-20 2000Mhz 1T w/ 1.67vDIMM,
compare with my own (2205 CAS 8 memtest 86+ error free, but 7-8-7-20 1T result in tonnes of errors)
From my own experiance MNH-E's like Tighter timings while MGH-E's like Higher Frequencies.
Looks to me like serial number starting from 08s are still MNH-E hypers.
For more information I'll photo them up for a comparison.

Thanks for the reply eva2000. That was def. a while ago and from Aussie Kingston.

Well after testing with B2B 12 tonight I quickly got 2000Mhz 7-8-7-20-1T Memtest stable 100% with much lower voltage.

P6T Deluxe V2
920 D0 #3911A330
Kingston Hyper KHX2000C8D3T1K3/6GX (Kingston USA RMA Received 10/5/09)
20x200
DDR3-2000Mhz 7-8-7-20-1T / B2B-12
vdimm 1.70v
vQPI 1.52v




I got home, set B2B to 12, reduced vdimm to 1.70v, reduced vQPI to 1.52v and set timings to 7-8-7-20-1T and Memtest ran 100% 8 instances maxmem. I will now run LinX 10 passes and if that passes then will start lowering voltages till I get errors. Then run Prime95 x64 overnight.

These are the first and only settings I have tried or tested tonight. Once I am done finding stability with lowest volts at these settings I will test max frequency CL7 & CL8.

Please can you tell me why you use 1.7v when maximum voltage is supposed to be 1.65v?
I don't understand I thought these kits were dying anyway surely 1.7v will not be helping.

Please don't think I'm having a go at you all I'm trying to is find out about this RAM because I might buy some but I have never run RAM at higher than the rated voltage, if it won't work at the rated voltage is it not faulty?

1.65vDimm is the limit if you leave QPI/Dram at stock voltage. If you increase QPI you can increase vDimm as long as they stay within 0.5v of each other. Many times when having trouble running RAM at high frequencies like this, its not the fault of the RAM being "bad." Rather its a result of the IMC on the cpu not being "good." One way to remedy this is to increase QPI and vDimm slightly.

[deachus]

Well "TheKarmakazi" said it perfectly. As long as you keep vQPI and vDimm within 0.5v of each other than you are ok. Also, the rated voltage is for the rated timings which mine is 1.65v @ CL8 2000Mhz. If you look at my screenshots I am running 7-8-7-20-1T @ 2000Mhz which is tighter than the rated timings. I needed those voltages to get 100% Maxmem 20 runs LinX stable.

I've been extremely busy with work lately but had some time to play with this HyperX kit some more.

Here are some shots DDR3-1630Mhz 6-6-6-18-1T-72 1.68v

Also was able to lower my SuperPI 1M and 32M best times.

sorry to bring this thread up , have a bit of an argument and thought i'll ask here:

has anyone ever seen a kingston 2000 8-8-8 specced kit (no matter old KHX16000D3ULT1K3 or new KHX2000C8D3T1K3, no matter from a shop or rma) with elpida BBSE chips? (not with hypers)

[EvoCarlos]

well the khx2000cl8 kit that kingston sent me from rma now work great

it turns out that the msi eclipse sli and the foxconn bumrage gti dont support them very well

buy when in the clasy 760 they fly with low volts
have been running 7-8-7-20-69-1t @1.74v @ around 1100mhz +/- 20mhz

there still strong i only use them for benching so god knows how they would be on 24/7 lol
