    So GMH and GKX are in the same ball park as far as performance? I got curious and decided to take the heatspreader off my Patriot RAM and they have GKX. Oh yeah, I paid $350 (including a $50 MIR) for these sticks.

    Could someone test please what the max is with 5 5 4 x and say 2.2V?

    1150 sounds already good, but 2.45V is a bit too much for 24/7 usage if you ask me. Great ram. Too bad I just spent 150$ on a single 1gb g.skill HZ stick, but I am tempting to get that ram anyway

    I got my set from Newegg today too. Running now at 4-4-4-4 460 FSB 2.2 volts to the ram. I will post more results later. I'm hoping for 500 FSB. This ram as of right now kicks ass. Thanks Nicepun!! Awesome find!!

    Try to it to run 1000Mhz @ CAS 4, if you do that then I think we really have a winner, however 920Mhz @ CAS 4 and only 2.2 volts already looks good.

    I don't think 2.45vdimm is too high.

    just done a quick test...
    i only have a 2.25V setting in the bios, but with that, ddr2-1100 5-5-4-12 seems stable. although memtest has only been running for a short time

    Thanks for that test, looks very good to me.
    So there is the possibility to hit 600Mhz with 2.7V ish for high fsb runs.
    I think I am getting a pair aswell

    I'm curious as well to see how 4GB would work on a P5B-Deluxe.

    i find 4GB needs a lot more voltage to be stable at the same speeds/timings (maybe a hipro DDR2 maximizer would help) and it's only worth it if you use a 64bit OS
    with these kits, i've benched at 1040 4-4-4-8 using 4GB, but stability seems to be around 950 ish

    Thanks... Good to know Pyr0. If I can get 4GB of ram to run at 475 FSB I would be rather happy.

    Update on the Crucial's: I'm currently running them (Orthos) at 4-4-4-15 @ 511 FSB with 2.3 volts (bios).

    We definitely have a winner!

    D9GMH here as well. I'm testing them out and so far 800mhz @ CAS 3 and 1000Mhz @ CAS 4. This RAM is really good, I think I'm going to get me another set and get rid of the ones in my sig eventhough they are D9GKX.





    Edit: Well I did it, I got me another set.


    1000Mhz @ 4-4-4-4 w/ 2.4vdimm (Active Cooling)
