Mushkin PC4000 2GB kit. 3-4-3-8 56k beware!

**JNav89GT** · 08-31-2005, 03:19 PM

Not sure if I'm the first to post this. Came out this past weekend, and I was given a kit to test

.

Got to play with it a bit over weekend and it's super easy to setup. Alot easier than Micron -5b or Infineon BE-5 chips. Of course, that could in part be due to me having had a good tune already with BE-5 down etc.... But overall I would say these are indeed easier to setup.

I'll grab some more shots later, I'm "backing up" a dvd on that machine now.

Just a couple of shots right now.

I can run it up to about 255-257 at 3-4-3-8 1T@2.73v(2.7 +0.03v in dfi) and 270 or so at 3-4-4-8 1T same voltage.

orig shots are with 4600+ X2, future shots will be with 3800+ X2 just FYI. I needed to move the 4600+ to another machine

.

Overall, I'd say a good kit of memory. A bit pricey, but I think it's less than the OCZ 4000 kit. I could be wrong though, correct me if I am.

Now if I could only get another kit to test 4gb

what PCB does it use?

**JNav89GT** · 08-31-2005, 03:54 PM

Brainpower for sure

**JNav89GT** · 08-31-2005, 04:03 PM

As promise more pics

**[XC] moddolicous** · 08-31-2005, 04:08 PM

Looks somewhat promising. Will more volts allow higher overclock?? Like 2.8 or 2.9??

**JNav89GT** · 08-31-2005, 04:12 PM

no this is ideal voltage
they hit a wall about 270 or so. Kind of like Majors OCZ UCCC. I'm 99.9% sure their UCCC but don't shoot me if their not.

Same Samsung UCCC as on the OCZ, same PCB too so they should OC about the same.

The Mushkin are looking good !

Thanks for sharing your results !

**chunkylover77** · 08-31-2005, 04:35 PM

Looks like nice stuff. Thanks for sharing JNav.

**JNav89GT** · 08-31-2005, 04:37 PM

no prob guys

glad to be able to share.

I'll have to get some pics of the ram, they have Mushkins new speaders on them. My sample has green pcb, but I was told retail kits will have the sexy black pcb

**highoctane** · 08-31-2005, 05:10 PM

I got a set of these in today, same results basically, they seem to tap out a little over 270, worked out to be a perfect match for my X2 at 10x270.

**Major** · 08-31-2005, 05:34 PM

Guys get your results to Enjoy so he can post them in the 2x1gig database, it would be nice to have something other than Ballistix listed !

**JNav89GT** · 09-02-2005, 06:35 AM

submitted verified cpu-z to enjoy for database

anyone else get any of this stuff. Guess it might limit sales that it's only available from Mushkin site direct. At least you get airpillow most likely

**blarf** · 09-04-2005, 10:31 AM

when are those stix going to be available elsewhere?? i don't mind buying staright from mushkin but i gotta pay tax. any coupon???

**ZeroX** · 09-04-2005, 10:45 AM

mmm The UCCC-based memorys are still far compared to the ballistix (micron)

I think they will improve, but now, ballistix are better

**largon** · 09-04-2005, 11:05 AM

Yep, if Samsung bothers to develop this K4H510838D-UCCC (currently D-generation), it might be able to do quite good. But at it's current state is can't compete Microns chips.

You forgot to mention Micron have again changed the die on these wonder IC's also, it may already be worse than UCCC

I didn't know that... Time to do some searches

Regards

**blarf** · 09-04-2005, 12:04 PM

What u sayin is that the ballistix are not as good as they used to be or what?

**largon** · 09-04-2005, 12:23 PM

bigtoe,
you mean the new FBGA-package and Pb-free IC?

ZeroX,
I was about to notice you about the animated gif in your sig. But it seems Imageshack too has bandwisth usage limitations... (It doesn't show anymore)

**ZeroX** · 09-04-2005, 12:40 PM

Thx man, im going to "correct" it

Anybody has results of that "new" ballistix?

EDIT: Ok, i read wrong... that gif's are not permitted?

**largon** · 09-04-2005, 12:59 PM

Micron's FBGA chip hasn't yet appeared in Ballistix. But Crucial value ram with those chips has been a disaster.

ZeroX, don't you think the size (700kB) of that gif is a bit too high for it to be put in signature?

**blarf** · 09-04-2005, 01:01 PM

so if i buy some ballistix sticks from newegg, i still be fine (overclocking wise)??? any other places for cheap ballistix sticks?? i want 2*1gb

**ZeroX** · 09-04-2005, 01:03 PM

I have no problem changing/removing it

Let me some mins

**ZeroX** · 09-04-2005, 01:10 PM

changed

from what i have seen.. it's not terribly bad, in most cases being roughly equal to the TSOP version. also, the FBGA crucial is using isn't the leadfree stuff

bigtoe, do you know if they actually changed the IC, or simply changed the package for the IC from TSOP to FBGA?
