RHINO pc2 8000 2gb ( D9GMH) reviev/ overclocking tests ( lots of pics)

[EnJoY]

Nice stuff Solarfall, and well done with the screenshots this time. One question though, how stable were those results?

[Solarfall]

hehe thanks... i did test every result you/all can see here with memtest ( 500 megabytes,, exept the first screenies) so they should be pretty stable... also did a little bit of gaming with those settings

[rhino56]

i need some of that lol

[Kasparz]

i did mention it in one of my earlier post but here it is again 230€... and as The stilt mentioned earlier the price will drop soon to 199€... thats what i call bang for your buck.

well, for 230eur you can buy higher rated sticks with heatspreaders and better manufacturer. Not to mention better overclockability. Okay, heatspreders means nothing for overclockers, but still this price is overkill.

[SF3D]

Well, those stick are made in Finland, so they will be more expensive.

Same reason why german cars are more expensive than koreans.
*(I'm not saying, that these memorys are any better than some other)

that price is actually very reasonable compared to other well overclocking ram kits sold here in finland.. for instance CellShock DDR2 PC2-8000 costs 398.40€ ....Team Xtreem, DDR2, PC2-8000 429.80€ ...OCZ PC2-8000 Gold Gamer Extreme XTC 299.00€ .. just to mention a few ... yeah it sucks to be a overclocking addict here in finland.. thank God for e-bay and germany's cheap web shops

Which is no longer available.
Micron manufacturers it´s reference modules with die revision -E from now on (ex. D9HNL).

Also most of the Micron reference sticks are already pretty well harvested from the good overclockers.

And like I said only very few Micron reference modules were used to fill the under production.

Maybe micron OEM sticks are D9HNH and D9HNL but Crucial BallistiX are still D9GCT/D9GMH/D9GKX aren't they?

[Solarfall]

OK guess after thorough testing and trying different settings it seems like that my board does not like the 1T settings at all, and i thought that my evga mobo was one of the good ones.. crap
Btw i know for a fact that i'ts not the ram itself. 1t setting worked fine in my cousins asus commando board.

Not really, I own some D9GCT Micron OEM (so did Dinos22) and I have seen Micron OEM D9GMH's (I regularly deal with IBM OEM builds which sometimes use them).

Results for the PC4300 D9GCT are in my sig.

[mukmaster]

These are nice sticks, I owned a pair then the blew up from an over clocking run
2.45v for the note.

[Solarfall]

sorry to hear that mukmaster... did you use any kind of active cooling with em.??

this is to enjoy and solarfall,
i really like reading the ram reviews and being this is your first review solar i think u did a great jobj,well done!!and to enjoy i like your reviews and mind blowing results also .i have a request tho from each of you please.i would like a screenshot of 2 seprate occt "HI cpu+ram" tests screenies.the 2 tests running your lowest latencies and another at highest speed(2 tests would be nice).this should prove interesting results for me.

1 warning:occt on hi will not let u move or open anything while testing,as u guys know about occt (im sure)its crushing in the cpu+ram HI 30minutes test,alot dont make it.sub 15 sec pi times screenshots mean nothing to me as far as stabilty playing on my pc for 8+ hours running bf2.heck even memtest (#5)for hours can even be misleading due to its not testing your overclocked CPU AND RAM with a heavy overcloked to death load on it.all I want to see is (2)30minute tests.speed\loose and tight\slower thank and again very very nice reviews minus the stabilty tests showing me real world 24\7 usage.



this is what i want to see plz.click on my screenies in the links screenshot wise using occt is what i like to see included multiple cpu-z shots.im "bf2nut" in BE forums.

@ solar-
i see for this review going above 2.4volts u added a fan.doing a review with hi voltage(2.4+) or not(1.8-2.2v) u should always have a fan on your nice ram
my ram cooler bracket i made below. (2) 40mm sunnons on custom alumn bracket i welded.

i will see what i can do later on this week.. i just placed an order for a e6850 so i will do some testing with it.. lol well the main cause is why i did not do any kind of longer stress testing was cos i don't have the patience to sit around and wait for the test to complete. but like i said i see what i can do later on this week..
btw i do have a nice 120mm 110cfm fan taking care of cooling for the ram when i bench, so no worries there

i agree %1,000

but u dont have a mere 30 minutes? occt cpu+ram hi settings test\time duration 30min...?

yeah well take into consideration that if the test fails i have to go back into bios and tweak some more.. do the tests again. if it fails.. i have to do the same stuff again
what can i say i'm very impatient person
