Any reviews using TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF

[Eastcoasthandle]

I like to see how well PSC ICs perform.

[Yellowbeard]

I have not seen any reviews yet as they are so new. Redbeard has a set doing about 1150 IIRC in the lab and they are a retail set. I have a set here with me but I have not tried to push them yet. But, they are rock solid at 1066/2.1v.

[Psycho_eddie]

There was press realease while back saying PC2-8500 and PC2-9136 2x2GB sets were to be released.... but only see the PC2-8500


Has the PC2-9136 been scrapped beacuse not sufficient ammount of chips passing the binning process?

Whats the full rated timmings including all subtimings?

I too would like to know where the 9136 stuff is

[Yellowbeard]

The 9136s are coming. I don't have the final spex yet. I anticipate an announcement that we are shipping them any day now.

[Darkstormz]

I´ve got two kits of these babies today.
But I really need a better bios now for my maximus formula before I start pushing them to the max.

Running 450*2 Mhz CL 5-4-3-12 @ 1.86v atm with 8GB

WOW! That is absolutely sweet for 1.86v. I bet 1.95v - 2.0v or so would get you CAS4.

you think so? I´ll try later on then.
I´m glad to be back running Corsair memory again.

It was only "quick n dirty" Memtesting but, I had a single set hit 4,4,4,12 at 2.1v DDR900 over the weekend. I did not try to run the OS but I am figuring CAS4 900 or so should be pretty easy.

Tried 2.1v @ 4-4-4-12 DDR900 but crapped out in windows.
Working my way up to DDR950 now.

So far 480MHz DDR960 CL 5-4-3-12 @ 1.87v using 8GB

id like to know how far these can go with looser timings??? in real world use not lab testing? can anyone run them through the paces yet??

[Yellowbeard]

See post #2. I don't have any of the 9136s yet but they might have a little more headroom than the 8500s. I'll post results as I get them.

[zfactor]

i do see you said they were a retail set but how is this "lab" testing compared with real world use.. i would assume "lab" testing would yield higher results (possibly) then real world 24/7 usage.

and how much time was spent to get them at 1150? or was it fairly easy to achieve. i dont think the 9136's will do really any much higher than the rated speeds at least not if they are using the same ic's..these have a great rebate right now and i am tempted but i def want the ability to do near 1150 24/7..

thanks again..

also any chane of more info from redbeard on that 1150 oc?? timings etc?? thanks

[Yellowbeard]

Redbeard is in Germany at CEBIT. He can elaborate on what specifics his results are based on when he gets back. But, his OC is stable for 24/7. He's not just reporting a suicide run.

dont think the 9136's will do really any much higher than the rated speeds at least not if they are using the same ic's..

I don't have a set yet and have not tested them so I don't know what the top end will be. However, even though the 9136s are based on the same IC, they are a higher screen.

[zfactor]

arghhhhh do i wait then or take advantage of the sweet rebate on the 1066's right now.... dont want to miss that if i go with the 1066's...i was going to go another brand but i must say i am not very thrilled with their online help and responses and their rma dept def does not seem to be what corsair or crucial's is.. at least i know ill get it taken care of if there is a problem..

Unless your CPU can run a FSB substantially faster than 533mhz I don't think you will see a huge difference between the 2 kits. The 9136 kit is definitely for that top end OC where an user wants ever last mhz from the memory.

I was thinking of getting a set of these for a Q9450 build with Vista 64bit. The only thing I want them to do is 900 4-4-4-12 1:1 / 450x8.

[Darkstormz]

Running P95 + 2 x HCI Memtest right now @ 1050MHz CL 5-5-3-15 (tRFC 52) with 2.1v. This is with 8GB config.

So far I´m very impressed!

[zfactor]

so these are powerchips right? are they the same ones everyone else is using right now??

[Yellowbeard]

They are indeed Powerchips ICs. I have no idea what everyone else is using or how they screen them.

Darkstorm, I assume that is 4 x 2gb on the ASUS MAX FORM in your sig?

[Darkstormz]

Darkstorm, I assume that is 4 x 2gb on the ASUS MAX FORM in your sig?

Yes ASUS Maximus Formula Rev 1.03G.

Update now: 1056MHz CL 5-5-3-13 @ 2.08v tRFC 52
Still 4x2GB

[Darkstormz]

528MHz DDR1056 - CL 5-5-3-13 tRFC 52 - 2.02v - 8GB

[ChaosMinionX]

I love these sticks!


The new 8500 4GB kits, they do 2.0v 1081 5-5-5-15-4-50-4-4 on X38, with AI Clock Twist - Strong, Transaction Booster - Disabled (1) on Bios 1004. I would say thats awesome

[zfactor]

not much of an oc?? they are rated for 1066 so 1080 not much of a oc.. yes its def low volts but.. have you tried pushing them more im still on the fence about ordering these ones

[mu||et]

ChaosMinionX, thanks for the info dude. Can you try 4-4-4-12 1:1 @ 450. I would appreciate it.
