2 x 2 Gig Sticks, Mushkin PC8500 - The Real Deal.

[Revv23]

Very nice speeds

1200 on a 2x2 kit is sick...


i can't beleive you already put 2.8v in them, you must be crazy with a kit that expensive.

See if they will do 3-2-2 at 350-400mhz with those volts

[G H Z]

I was gonna buy these till the price shot up.

[Kunaak]

intial super low latency test.

2.35 volts.
this wasnt even difficult to do.
gonna try some more.

[Kunaak]

ok, after some quick testing, heres what I came up with.

cas 3-2-2-8 possible up to 333 mhz, but you will need to add more then 2.45 volts to do this.
300 mhz at cas 3-2-2-8 is easy at 2.35 volts.

cas 3-3-3-8 is possible up to 375, but you will need more then 2.4 volts to do this.
350 at cas 3-3-3-8 is easy at 2.35 volts.

cas 3-4-4-8 offers no additional overclocking, just like I first observed in my first post, when I said, cas was the main thing that gets this ram stable.
ras to cas, doesnt seem to effect how this ram OC's much.

for instance, cas 3-4-4 at 400 = no boot.
cas 4-3-3 works just fine up to 450 mhz without much trouble.
so its not the TRP or ras to cas holding the ram back, but the cas.

but personally, I could careless, I'd rather run cas 4-3-3 stable at 400, then cas 3-4-4.

Anybody using this stuff on a 680i with vista 64?

[ccokeman]

It does for me!

Quite impressed here! Thats just sick.

[-n7-]

Very nice.

I second this question

You can't get your 2x2 working on your EVGA? Have you tried the P27 bios? I hope you get it going... this is the combo I'm considering.

[nugzo]

No, but its workin fine 1x4. I have another 680i (A1) I am going to try today, incase this particular board is buggy.

It's workin now. Noob move on my end. I didn't install the 680i chipset drivers. Up in running with 6gb now @ 900 4-3-3-6. I could probably get a lil more mhz out of the ram, but this is my sweet spot at 1800Qfsb. If i start goin higher with the mem, i start losin bandwidth. The same wit 2,4 or 6gb.

[mezcal]

1 thing, dont ask me to push 2.6 volts or something into this stuff.
given how expensive this ram is, I really dont want to take any chances at killing it. 2.45 is about my limit for being comfortable.
you wanna see high voltages, do it yourself.

And we didn't even have to ask!
Figured you wouldn't be able to resist.

Nice results.

[Kunaak]

yeah.... its kinda unavoidable.
I been at XS too long.
the other day, my friend and me bought some cheap X850XT's for $55 at newegg... the day I got them, I took them apart, and improved thier cooling... then began testing each card individually, for clock speeds...
by the time he came over a few hours later to get his card, I asked him...

"you want to flash your card to a platinum edition?".

he says he's never seen me get anything and not overclock it.

[walaustin]

wow!!!! amazing ram, high high clocks for 2x2gb

[RealTelstar]

...If they stop raising the price!

LOL... yeah, I'm the same way... I can't buy a toaster with out tweaking it!

Now guys... seriously, can we see some 1T testing on 680i with this kit?

Nice... how about 1T?

[Deathspawner]

I received this kit the other day, and it's clocking far better than I expected. 600MHz stable at only 2.5v was possible. The FSB had it's voltages pumped up in order to keep it stable.



Is anyone else with a retail kit hitting these clocks stable?

[virtualrain]

I posted my results with this memory on the DFI NF680i LT my Blog.

800MHz 4-3-3 1T (9+hrs PRIME stable) beat 1120MHz 5-5-5 2T both at 2.3V!

[dnottis]

I've got a 2 x 2 GB kit of the Mushkin HP 6400 (800Mhz) I'm reviewing. They are currently doing 902 Mhz 5-4-4-12 @ 2.25v memtest stable on P5B Deluxe 1004 bios. Going to push them higher but just installed them and loaded Vista x64, not a problem - just make sure to enable memory remap so the OS can see 4096MB. Someone asked about Vista x64 earlier - yes they work fine with Vista X64.
