Micron D9 GMH\GKX\JKH etc club

[DonNiger]

I definitely have to try that. Yesterday, after doing successful Vdimm mod to my TPower, I accidently fried them with 3,2v.

[Cool Vibrations]

How do I find out if my ram has Micron D9 chips, specifically GTR/GTS?

[CryptiK]

look at the DDR3 ramlist at i4memory.com

Wow, awesome. Thanks!

I've got 2 gb D9 Trancend AxeRam ddr2 6400 running at 534 Mhz, 5-5-5-15 timings (2.1 vdimm). System is P5Q Pro with an E8400 at 4005 Mhz, 9x445. I've had this ram at 560 Mhz which needed 2.14 vdimm. If I try to tighten the timings to 4-4-4-12 the best I've been able to get so far is 470 Mhz on 2.1v. I was trying to get 534 mhz with 4-4-4-12 timings and doesn't look like its possible, was getting blue screens when trying to boot right up to 2.3v and thats all Im willing to give it. I've got 2 gb of Dominator 8500 with powerchips that doesn't do half as good as the axeram, its good to have as backup though!
I ordered a 2gb kit of Cellshock 8000 cl4 ram from Ireland the other day, I couldn't find this anywhere in the US but hoping this can do a little better than the AxeRam.

[CryptiK]

I have 2 kits of the CellShock 8000 CL4. It does 550 CL4 @ 2.25v and 650 CL5 on 2.2v. I run them 24/7 at 534 5-5-4-12 @ 1.94v. You'll probably really like them.

That sounds great, looking forward to trying it out! I got turned on to the Cellshock reading this thread.

At 534 mhz cl5 my axeram is only moderately warm to the touch but at 560 it feels burning hot so I'm about to rig a fan pointing down on it. It looks like i could use some crazy glue on to the back of the PSU and have it pointing down at an angle. My PSU is an extra long unit so it puts it in a perfect position for a 80mm fan.

I'll post back with my overclocking results with the cellshock when they get here.

Thats exactly where I bought mine! They didn't waste any time shipping it out either they sent it out right away. Probably going to take a while to get here from Ireland though.

[kimchupa]

i've came to conlusion I'm gonna get the cellshock
but I'm having some trouble deciding which one....

there are 2 different ones

D9GMH
8500 5-5-5-15 2kits of 1G x 2

D9GKX
8000 4-4-4-10 2kits of 1G x 2

I'm more in to the 8000 but I heard somewhere that D9GMH is better than D9GKX. which one of these 2 could be the best choice as for performance

[radaja]

hers my 8000 cl4 @2.2v. UPDATE pl8

[BigDMadinko]

Wow Radaja those are some impressive numbers!
kimchupa: thats a good question, I'm tempted to order a set of the 8500 to see which does better myself. I went 8000 because
I already have a set of GMH ram with my Transcend AxeRam, but I have a feeling the cellshock would do a lot better.

I have a question for you guys - you seem to rate the info provided by the Ramlist at i4memory, for Corsair Dominator it says:
PC2-8500C5D DOMINATOR Rev 1.1 & 1.2 & 1.3 : 5.0-5-5-15 @ 2.2V : Micron D9GMH (B6-3) Handpicked or Micron D9GKX (B6-25E) Handpicked

over in the discussion thread on these sticks they concluded that the only 2Gb chips available are Powerchips, so what are my RAM chips - D9's?

[CryptiK]

What dominators do you have? If they are 2 x 1GB Rev 1.1/1.2/1.3 then yes, they're D9 GMH or GKX.

yup but
2 weeks ago i picked up a set @ freinds pc shop that was on layaway for a year n they turned out to be duds v1.2 and they cant hit 1200+ even with 2.4v so i brought em back

[Russ_64]

Cheers - think I found my answer at Corsair Support (House of Help) :
CM2X1024-8500C5D/F
........................XMS850X v1.X...MICRON.........64Mx8...Rev.D (2.2 Volts)
........................XMS850X v2.X...Qimonda........64Mx8...70Nm (2.1 Volts)
........................XMS850X v3.X...Elpida............64Mx8...(2.2 Volts)
........................XMS850X v4.X...PSC..............128Mx8 (2.1 Volts)

TWIN2X4096/CM2X2048-8500C5DF
........................XMS850X v1.X...PSC...............128MX8

I have 2 sets of CM2X2048-8500C5DF = 8Gb - they run fine @ 1066. Have not tried to OC yet as I have a Phenom Black Ed.

[Shiranui Gen-An]

Darnit, MemoryC dropped the prices significantly on the Mushkin XP2 9200 kit and the Redline 8000 kit...but they're out of stock

That's unfortunate, but we all know that Corsair is not great overclocking ram, even their D9 stuff. Either their QC is not as good as other companies like old ballistix or CellShock or something else, but the only really decent Corsair was the PC-10000 sticks. Corsair rarely do 600+ and the best sticks usually top out at ~675. Poor performance and much higher price make them bad choice.

That's exactly what the DDR2 ramlist @i4 says. You have the 2GB sticks, so its PSC (powerchip) based ram. No 2GB sticks can be D9 GMH or GKX.

I'm still waiting on the cellshock 8000s but yesterday I did the ol' switcheroo with my daughter's computer. I put my dominator 8500 ram in her computer and took back my second set of D9 AxeRam that i used when building her system. I told her that daddy is going to upgrade her computer with some nice pretty dominator ram! So now I have two sets of GMH axeram to play with. The only thing is when running all four sticks on my P5Q Pro it is no longer stable with 1.30 nb volts, all the way up to 1.40v which is as far as I've tested so far.

[radaja]

i just bought redline 8000 from memoryc on sunday, shipped out today.are they any good? i bought them mainly cause they were on sale,newegg has the same set for more than twice the price.what kind of chips do they have?

Haha, the psychology of parenthood. Just paint the ram pink, she'll love it

4 x 1GB is hard to stabilize, much more so than 2 x 2GB, as it puts a lot more strain on the MCH. The P5Q-Deluxe can run 4 x 1GB at ~1200MHz with ~1.34 vNB, with moderate FSB, so perhaps your board has a weaker MCH.

They are ok, should do ~1120, maybe 1130. I think they use PSC IC's.

[philbrown23]

so how are pcs (power chips right?) compared to D9's? looks like even cellshock is stopping using D9 or atleast not making the ram anymore, even memoryc has very limited D9 quantitys

So you were the rascal that snapped up the Redlines! I'm pretty sure that kit uses D9GMH if they're the same as these.

Well done, mate! Amazing RAM

[CryptiK]

I assumed he was talking about the 2 x 2GB redlines.
