[MemoryReaction] G.Skill F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ - Low in cost, high in speed!

[Spyrus]

It makes me wanna try mine over 580+ ...again

[zfactor]

Wow! Screen shots w/ superpi 32m please.

same....

[techguy2k5]

Jeez, this makes all those 1066 kits look kind of silly... Guess I will get these afterall.

[p2501]

Got my kit last week and it fails memtest even at 800mhz on maximus formula... guess I should rma it?

Everest reads tRFC as 52, could that be the problem? Should it be 55? But then again failing at 800mhz...

[GoThr3k]

does these sticks work with a DFI P35?

[Cronos]

more good news got this memory running at 1170 at 2.1 am very happy cookie. memory bandwidth 6.6Gb/s

1170 is sure possible with some select kits to boot into Windows as well as sure can't be stable, even nearly.

6.6GB/s is a joke, properly configured it should give around 9GB/s at 1000MHz.
Higher frequency not always results in higher performance.

right well first time back in awhile and glad to see you put me in the pic after being stuck at 933 and then getting 1170 i was well pleased. that pic is just a low one as i thought i killed the memory when it did 1200 into windows and then showed 2gb not 4gb but reinserting it back it showed 4gb again. i post some more when i can. it not crap when the memory is this cheap and it does this lol i will test for stability.

[techguy2k5]

I went ahead and ordered this memory. $100 is just too good a deal to pass up. I wish it were this price when I got my current Geil 4GB DDR2-800 kit that doesn't o/c for crap.

No mine (non-selected kit) is booting fine at 1180 already with 2.2V
but i cannot pass memtest

[Cronos]

2.2V for 24/7 is asking for trouble. Taking into account the board most probably overvolts by at least 0.05V.

Anyway, i hope some day people stop posting useless "my CPU/memory can do insane XXXX speed, stability be damned" posts and only announce carefully tested overclocks.

blasphemy!! where's the fun in that?

I did try to have my memories at 2.2 for 24/7.
I was clear. There are 2x2GB modules powerchips that boot fine at 1180 with 2.2V
that i said exactly (and they are not stable said clear again).
They might do that with 2.1V there since they boot fine at 1164MHz and pass memtest with 2.1V already

it passed Fritz chess 11 for 2 hours in infinite analysis at 100% cpu usage without any problems thats very cpu / memory intensive. so i'm calling that stable.

[zfactor]

this im sure is not common for these since most people can not do over 1100 with them it seems???

[Spyrus]

Mate what is your lowest 24/7 limit for your current setup for 2x2GB sticks?
Wanna 1020@5-5-5-15?
Get the chipest Mushkin EM2 @ 5-5-5-15 @ 1.8V @400MHz can do it

Wanna 1080+ Get PC8500 ones all of them do 540-560 for sure.

Wanna 1130+ ? Then you have little choices 1-2

[Cronos]

Forgot to mention I'm only interested in 8GB configurations. Anybody here with 8GB and high proven OC?

By the way, anything not including Linpack 64 is not 100% proven to me, but i can accept reality

[zfactor]

well im not sure since my e8500 has not arrived yet.. for now my e8400 will do i def want them to be as high as possible though so i have options open. i have yet to put this 8400 in a mobo since i do not have ram at this time i want to really wait for the 9000+ stuff but i dont want to wait much longer

[lowtcell]

Well, I spent last night tweaking again with the new p5e Bios (602) and still no improvement. Anything above 1066 fails memtest test5 but I think it's only on the second stick. Will try to swap sticks tonight and see if it's a bad stick or something up with the p5e.

UPDATE:

Swapped the sticks tonight. Now passes Memtest at 1080, fails on test #7 above that, but I'm also back to older bios (501) with less options, due to FSB problems on 602. I'll have to reflash to 602 and see if I can get higher clocks out of these.

[Richard Dower]

1063MHz here stable.

[lowtcell]

Well, at 1080, I ran and passed memtest, OCCT and Prime95, but COD4 crashed several times I backed off to 1040 and everything is back to normal.

[zlojack]

Wow...just picked up two sets of these sticks today and I'm impressed so far.

After numerous tries to get my Redlines to 1100 MHz with no luck these booted up at 1100 on the first try!

Now to try to go further. I think I'll run into a FSB wall for this crappy CPU before the memory.

[gymenii]

Ran memtest all night, orthos last 2 hours. Stable so far 1066 @ 2.1v.
For some reason, I got a lot of BSOD's and reboots when I first installed.
Switched to different slots (red to yellow) and no problems, very strange....

[zlojack]

Well, as expected, with 8GB installed there's not much in the way of OC, but still, 8GB at 1005MHz is pretty cool!

Anyway, will continue to play with these.... great stuff! $119 +tax and shipping per kit...can't beat that!

Make sure your tRFC is 54-55, 52 is not enough!
This will be very hard to detect, so most people and even manufacturer is likely to miss the problem (good for them! ) However, in the long run something nasty may eventually happen.

Yeah, I'm still contemplating flashing to bios 1004 for my Maximus Formula...which finally unlocks tRFC... otherwise I leave it on AUTO, which is 52.

I guess, I'll be flashing tonight then...
