i really think its the board (dfi nf3 754) It has already killed 3 gigs of ram just by turning it off, i think I need to pick me up another one. It killed my good gig of ch-5, my good gig of twinmos utt so im not gonna risk too much with this ram, im sure its better than the board will let it be. I stuck my gskill in it last night and now it will only work in this board and not my msi while it was doing 300 @ 2.5,3,3,7 like it was nothin in my msi.
alright... a gig of this is what i want? i want to double-check before i order
always wanted mushkin ramthey have good customer service? (when compared to the likes of OCZ)
:thumbsup:
EDIT:
is there a time restriction on this? cause i wont really be able to push these sticks for 2 months when i finish piecing my rig together, it will go in my current one as of nowOriginally Posted by charlie
What I would do is return the lousy stick, buy 3 or 4.... test them all and keep a pair of "270" sticks
C
so, this summer if i got a bad stick or two, would they still allow me to opt for a dissatisfaction return?
EDIT 2: i will take pics when it comes

Ouch! Bad MB, BAD!
In that case I wouldn't put any memory in it, lol. Something definitely not right with that one, sorry
They have 15 day return on memory, 15 days on CPU.... no questions asked...

dizzamn, 30 day money back? Order 20 and keep the best, return the rest. Why not? :p
frys B&M is 15 days on both cpu AND memory
im not sure about outpost since i live in the middle of like four fry's
just a warning
So my two sticks seem well done after several nights of memtest burn-in. Stick #1 memtests clean at 260 (3.4V), however, #2 tests clean at 240 (3.4V). I guess I'll need another stick to match up with #1 or I put stick #2 back in the oven some more. Who coulda thought that running memtest could be so fun!
Gettin there..
Blue catched up @250 and 3.4V

Interesting compare Dumo, do you think the drivers make a big difference?
Also did you get a booster or something? I thought your zippy had a vdimm issue with dfi...

Zippys no go
thx, my bad....
worst reasoning.... EVERI could give u 10 different reasons that would either be biased, based on personal opinion or liable to start a debate over why or why not.
So I'll make this simple why you should, if you wanted to, go VX:
OPP uses it
Perkam
if OPP jumped off a bridge ud do it?
can you see the light? is it shining too bright? can you see the light at the end of the tunnel, i know i do, i know its true.
Well after a week of toying around....
I have 2 x 512mB Mushkin BLUE UTT running clean north of 270.... at 3.6v. If I could get the sticks cooler I could possibly use 3.7v and hit 275+
Bandwidth wise, though... I get my best numbers at 310, asynch, 183 divider, around 8000mb/s with 9x divider, not bad...
But here it is:

damn it you lucky mofo charlie ...congrats
i'm stuck at 265 at 3.6v single....dual maxes out 260 at 3.5
ASUS P5K-E // E8400 Q746A519
G.Skill F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ
LC 550W GP// XPERTVISION 9600GT
My mum used to tell me that when i was in 4th grade ...
Guess there is a reason he uses 'em while there is none in jumping off a bridge
I probably would jump off a bridge if OPP did. I mean..hes def. not an idiot..so i trust his judgement that it is safe. Im pretty sure hes not suicidal and doesnt wanna get hurt..so count me in
260 is a good result Tedydual maxes out 260 at 3.5Not all sticks will run 270+... and after a week of burn-in and a little more tweaking, who knows
--- Charlie ---
Nice results!
hey I have a question, Dumo was running 240 and got 7688mb/s and Charlie only managed 7288mb/s @273. Does the extra 1 and a half megs of cache and 950 mhz help that much in memory transfer? Or am I missing something?.... I guess it would depend on what the multi was right? or is it just Sis software?
yeah, exactly... the multi, CPU speed and FX make the difference!!

Just ordered 4x 512mb of those (don't tell me it's the wrong thing i ordered)
Hope i get at least 2 sticks with UTT

since I purchased these at outpost.com, can I walk in and exchange them at fry's? My pair suck a big one, Ive been having really bad luck with ram lately.
