Micron D9 GMH\GKX\JKH etc club

[zsamz_]

I have two pair of double-side 1GB Tracers. The one w/o the clamp. Which version of D9 are they or do I have to tear off the spreaders to find out?

if you can do 1100 cas4 with 2.3v they are d9gkx
if you can do 1200 cas5 with 2.1v they are d9gmh

Paired my Teams with the UD3P and the DDR2-1333 drive strength profile. The subtimings were very loose as set by auto in the BIOS (PL 11, tRFC 70 ) but it's 32M stable, although I still needed almost 2.60V to do it.

My Geil DDR2-1160 C4 kit only needed 2.40V for 650MHz

[Shiranui Gen-An]

My Geil kit, which was mediocre in my other boards, is really responding to the UD3P and its OC profiles

I have GMH that does 1100 CL4 at 2.26v and I have GKX that does 1200 (totally stable) at 1.98v.

My Geil kit, which was mediorce in my other boards, is really responding to the UD3P and its OC profiles

The speed is looking good.

@Shiranui Gen-An

Since u seem to be overclocking ur RAM good on ur UD3P, could U please post ur BIOS settings for on the above overclocks?

Thanks

[fatguy1992]

I just tired some more RAM overclocking, but I still haven't been able to load Windows at 1400MHz or anything over 1333MHz. I got.

With 2.7v.

Like 1300MHz 5-5-5-15 works at 2.4v, but 1400MHz 5-5-5-15 at 2.7v doesn't? Even running the timings at 7-15-15-63 didn't help.

I think you will need a higher NB voltage to do that, 1.32v seems to be a bit low, but I'm only speculating.

I also own that board since last weekend, but I haven't been able to achieve anything worth mentioning up to now. One thing to note is that 600MHz is incredibly easy with this board. However, I guess I will need two more weeks to learn all the new feature of an Intel board... so many new options...

ballistix 5300 (D9GMH) @2.26v

[LennyRhys]

I have a new stable FSB of 1900MHz (475MHz) which means better memory speed of 950MHz, however I've had to increase vdimm for CAS4 and I don't know what to go for:

950MHz @

4-4-4-12 needs 2.125v
4-3-4-10 needs 2.15v
4-3-3-10 needs 2.175v

I currently have it at the tightest settings I can get without going to 2.2v, but I really don't want to lose these sticks of ram so maybe I should loosen the timings...but what a waste of D9 lol - I bought them to PERFORM!

I'v tried up to 1.6v , but I'v just learned the way I was told to set up the MCH Reference was wrong. So when I give it another go today I might have more luck .

if you can do 1100 cas4 with 2.3v they are d9gkx
if you can do 1200 cas5 with 2.1v they are d9gmh

You say that like it is gospel. NO IC is created exactly equal. The most surefire way to try and find out is by removing the heatspreader or googling the part number.

[Ket]

I'v tried up to 1.6v , but I'v just learned the way I was told to set up the MCH Reference was wrong. So when I give it another go today I might have more luck .

(double post I know, but I'm lazy heh) Try just leaving the MCH reference at auto, thats how it always works best for me, and to start with set NB and CPU clock skew both to delay by 100ps, this should keep you stable till around the 575\600 FSB realm, but of course theres no guarantees as everything behaves differently.

well thats my theory and even easier if you got a dfi board
all my d9gkx vol thungry and dont like dfi
i got naked team d9ghm that react like d9gkx
both are the same its luck of the draw how they behave

[LennyRhys]

I don't know of any ram modules other than Cell Shock which use thermal paste, which is they only reason that I felt I could safely remove the heatspreaders. I know that there are ways to get the heatspreaders off, but my mate has an OCZ Reaper D9 kit and the heatspreaders are practically glued to the ICs. Not so sure about Ballistix.

safest way to remove them is heat the 3m tape they use is verry strong

[Don_Dan]

I played a bit with my new kit that I got off ebay last November, took so long to be delivered...

So now I have 6GB of D9 on my UD3P:

At first stock settings of the Mushkin kit ( DDR2-800 ):


By don_dan at 2009-01-18

Then a slight overclock to DDR2-1066:


By don_dan at 2009-01-18

I just started playing with this kit, so more to come next week! If anyone can share results or tips for this kit it would be appreciated.

[LennyRhys]

I just got another Cell Shock kit from ebay, this time the PC6400 kit which uses D9GMH.

I'm gonna use 4x1GB with GKX and GMH together - might this cause problems? I haven't seen or heard of anyone using the different kinds of D9s together. If the GMH aren't so good, I'll buy a nice 2x2GB kit and be done lol.

alot of boards dont like 4 stix
myself i wont run anything lower than 1200mhz
on you 680i you better off going cas 4 the and as fast as it can go lol
some d9gmh should be labelled d9gkx lol so ... u gotta test em

[LennyRhys]

Well I'll prob go back down to 450FSB for 4x1GB, so I'm looking for best timings at 900MHz no higher than 2.1v. My GKX can do 4-3-3-9 (tRAS at 8 is unstable) so best case scenario would be 900MHz 4-3-3-10 or thereabouts. I'll test the D9GMH on its own first, of course.

[Shiranui Gen-An]

Having a bit of fun with my Team Xtreem 1200 kit and my DFI LT P35 T2R.

[CryptiK]

^ Nice work. Wouldn't mind one of those boards.
