MUSHKIN PC4000 2gB SMOOKKIINNNNN!!

Increased vdimm to 2.8v did nothing to these sticks, 3-3-3-8 or very relax timing didn't help higher memclock either, since I was testing them individually in single channel so there's practically no stress on the mem controller, that's almost $1000 worth of ram and I still can't get any of them to do 3D stable any higher than 260 @3-3-2-8 The best they could managed was only 258 as I had to matched stick3 and stick6 together (two highest clockers). Needless to say I'm very disappointed with these sticks....atleast now I can't fault my motherboard, memory controller, or my memory tweaking skill. Don't get me wrong...these ram are decent but I do not think they worth $300/pair, I'm going to pack them up, send them straight back to newegg and suck up the 15% restocking fees...about $140 down the drain.

I brought my 2GB XP-4000 directly from mushkin. My pairs can only do 260 3d stable @2.6v 3-3-2-8, 265 prime stable but not 3d stable.

Interesting, My kit cannot pass 3dmark2003 @ 265Mhz before, but now I can loop test it @ 265Mhz without problem.

2.6V 265Mhz 3-3-2-8, I'm using charlie's 110% stable setting.

Already loop test it 1 hour, will test overnight.

Don't know why. hehe

Also pass 3dmark2005 @ 265Mhz 2.6V 3-3-2-8, CPU 265MhzX11 @ 1.45V.

Edit: I ordered my kit 11/28 from mushkin, so the late week batch are not all "crappier"? Havn't found the MAX yet.

Edit: I think I open my mouth too early. Failed loop 3dmark2005 test @ 265Mhz.
