ABIT AW9D-MAX + CellShock PC8000 = Starting the WRs?...

[over@locker886]

insane run, congrats

JESUS 3-3-3-8 at 1040 and 3.4V is more than most put into DDR!!! Let alone DDR2! Hipro you are insane with memory OCin

I think that's where the fabled Winbond bh-4 chips all went

Nice work.

Thank you guys......

I wonder what a "cherry picked" pair of them could do!.....

Could you tell us about CAS 4 (cas 5 also) results ?
Thank you

(3.4V is crazy)

I'll test today the tightest timmings they can do and Cas 4 , Cas 5 as well.....

Were modules getting hot?

Haha, isn't running 3.4V for ddr2 like 4.7V for ddr1? Man that is the highest volts I've seen so far, modules still alive?

Yes they are.......The strangest thing of all, is that I'm used of feeding Ram modules up to the Vdimm they can "hear", till they start producing errors (from a Vdimm and upwards)......These ones want MORE.....Even at 3.4Vdimm they worked fine and they asked for more.....I didn't have much time for testing in my hands though but I'll be back with more detailed updates.....

Hot.....Yes they're geting a bit hot......

P.S. : ABIT AW9D-MAX ROCKS BIG TIME...

Great results Hipro, Im always amazed by your disregard for voltage
Now get these totally tweaked, the proc and vid card under some LN2/DICE action and lets really see some records fall.

it'll be interesting to see how everyone else does with these when they make it to retail. i hate to be a skeptic, but that's just a little too good for non-picked sticks, even if it's at 3.4v, and they said they weren't gonna pick them..

regardless! mhz are mhz. that's just nuts

4-4-3-8 is good and also 4-4-4-12.
There is a very little difference betweek 3-3-3-x and 4-4-3-x.

500MHz 3-3-3-x = 575MHz 4-4-3-x to me

ram and platform dependant. for me, 3-3-3 to 4-4-3 means going from ~450mhz to ~600mhz at the same volts on AM2

I'll ALSO buy a "retail" pair of them soon.....

UPDATE:
Ram modules at 3.47Vdimm and 525MHz 3-3-3-1, unfortunatelly got some kind of damage I could say.....They can NOT boot any more with LESS than 2.4Vdimm - strange - and they can take up to 2.66Vdimm "sharp" before they start producing errors.......No matter what timmings I pick in bios, IF I feed them with LESS than 2.4Vdimm, no boot at all...I boot at 2.51Vdimm (so as to be sure) and then I can feed them up to 2.66Vdimm....I STILL can do 458MHz 1:1 at Cas 3-3-3-1-15us-8T-23-5-9-8-7-4-4-3(MEMSET V.3) WITH ONLY 2.66Vdimm.......Isn't that a strange react?.....

Nevertheless I can run 3D at 458MHz (till ABIT fix the 460MHz fsb issue) and I'm OK with this.....

OF course Cell Shock rams gained another customer cuz I'm going to buy another pair of them.....

I'll test them at 4-4-4-x and 5-5-5-x so as to see what they can do but only up to 2.66Vdimm......
I ALSO flashed the SPD chip in case it got "buged" from the high voltage with the Corsair's 6400C3 SPD but they react the same.....So it's not the SPD chip

Anyways, I'll keep pushing them and I'll do a burn-in to them and maybe I'll gain again what I had....

Pitty thing is that I was so happy that they could "hear" 3.4Vdimm without producing errors....
I hope the new ones I'll buy, to react the same as they did.....

Sad to hear that, those are some really golden sticks. I've seen this kind of acting before on Micron D9 from too much voltage.
