This doesn't necessarily mean the IC won't do higher speeds, proven by the fact that it's used in a PC2-8500 kit.


All PC2-8500 memory is actually overclocked PC2-6400, because the latter is the highest DDR2-specification designed by JEDEC.


No, I don't think it's that simple. Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400 overclocks pretty good and they use the same -25F ICs.


Try running it at 5-5-5-15. Clockspeed is more important than timings and you will need looser timings to gain a higher clockspeed.
Use a higher voltage if necessary, but try not to go over 2.3V for too long. Also put a fan over the modules.


No, that doesn't help. Both Micron D9GMH and D9GKX are 10x10mm.
It says it's meant to be running 2.3v - 2.4v, so I have it always 2.3v and yes it's always very warm, especially with 4 slots full. Looking at a way to mount some fans on it the past few days. But according to g.skill 2.4v still covers life time warranty.

When I tried 1150MHz+ i used 5-5-5-15.
