Jack,
I just cannot believe my luck...
The first set i got was the set mentioned above, one stick was very nice, doing 300MHz in memtest errorfree with rated timings and only 2.8V.
Unfortunately the other one errored at 275MHz.
I exchanged this kit for another kit with 0431 chips.
Back home i found again that 1 stick could hit 300MHz but needed 3V to do that, the other stick gave one single error in every pass of memtest at exactly the same adress (346.4mb) no matter what setting or voltage.
Again i had to exchange this kit and got a set with 0431 chips so i asked Ismail of Icomputers if he did have a kit with 0437 chips for me.
A few minutes later he came back with a kit with 0437 chips. Thanks man!
Immidiately after i had the first stick in dissapointment struck, this stick gave hundreds of errors in test 5 at only 275MHz.
Thinking it was me i set all settings to auto, except for the 2,5-3-3-7 and 1T timings and Vdimm to 2.8V
Again, no luck, errors appeared at the same rate.
Took this stick out, tried the other one, this one errored out as well at 275MHz but only about 2-4 errors per 20 passes of test 5.
I just refuse to think it's my mobo/CPU as i've had a 512mb stick of TCCD doing 320MHz 2,5-3-3-7 1T errorfree in memtest!!(Sold it cause the other stick maxed out at 270MHz )
Also i've had 2 different sticks of Gskill doing 300MHz as well.
Is this RAM really this inconsistent or am i experiencing some exceptional bad luck?
