so this stuff is confirmed to do near 1150 24/7 if needed correct.. seems to be very mixed feeleing about this ram all over the net.
not sure if i should get this the g.skill or the new corsair ballistix stuff. but im not sure i can pass up 119 for 4gb of 1066 which is what this is after rebate right now.. ive always got my corsair rebates back (from power supplies anyway)
upgrading...cooler master cm690 case, corsair hx850, samsung 1tb x 3, optiarc burners x2, gskill 4gb ripjaws, working on the rest again
no no sorry i meant by the people who are using it higher from this site. sorry man.. looks like all the users here are able to do about 1150 others on other sites do not seem to be able to do that not sure why ..... this is xtreme after all lol.. thats what i meant.. sorry again
any idea on a rough price guess on the 9136 stuff? just a rough ballpark maybe 50$ more or ????

This is a very nice Kit
just ordered these up cant wait to test them out.. thanks for the patience yellowbeard... honestly you and the corsair rep are what ended up making me buy these. i feel i can get the support i will need after the sale (crosses fingers though that i will not need it lol).

Mr Yellowbeard, I installed these two modules and I get this staticky noise/flickering artifact:
--- I went to the Abit IP35 PRO BIOS...everything is set at default right now...and when I tried to adjust the timing to 5-5-5-15 and voltage...all I saw was a lot of flickering...I can set to Manual vs Automatic....but when I get to voltage, all my options are scrolling up and down rapidly.
I tried capturing the noise by using Audicity...but I cannot even name the file coz I cannot type a name coz the cursor keeps scrolling thru....
I tried using one module at a time but, same effect every time.
am I missing something?

weird....I unplugged my USB KB (Saitek Eclipse--blue lights) and noise is gone and I don't hear the static stuff....running on one module:
not sure what else I'm running wrong...will try to add the other module next
UPDATE: after unplugging the USB KB, using an old ps/2 kb...then adjusting the timing per listed on said memory module:
seems running better now....weird....I'm no poser-wannabe---I really don't know what this all means....just want a stable rig...after all dust settles...I'm going back to default safe BIOS per aBit...
thanks
damn Saitek KB...always gave me problems....

At one point a while back, I think there was an issue with certain USB keyboards and this MOBO. Look for a USB device option to change the keyboard and mouse support, or see if you can navigate the BIOS using a PS2 keyboard if you have one. Also, make sure you have the most recent BIOS.

update:
had remove the Corsair Module Fans...too loud and retention bracket is very loose...if made to fit tight, it vibrated too much....plus don't like how the retention bracket being so close to vidcard
System setting now...if you can interpret, great help...
I'm not trying to OC...just stable enuff...
and yes, I connected the USB KB directly to one of the aBit mobo USB...before I had the USB KB connected thru the Dell UltraSharp 2407FPW-HC's USB.....no more noise...and static artifact

I'm posting this in hopes it will give Corsair some constructive criticism, to show them that they need to do better, especially with the way money is today.
I had two kits of 8500C5D both were version 1.x (Micron) they were replaced with 2.2 and 4.2. The second set of Micron's died right after I sent out the first kit to be replaced (go figure). Both kits sent in place of those have given me problems within weeks, with one set shipping with a dead module. The first kit I got back from RMA are version 2.2. They will do 1084Mhz C5 or 889Mhz C4. This kit could care less about how much voltage you give them. Anything other than 2.1v is pointless. A few weeks ago I started getting errors and BSOD's, one of the sticks was giving errors. The other kit 4.2 arrived with one dead stick. However the 1GB will do 1092Mhz C5 or 911Mhz C4, again voltage doesn't matter just as long as it's 2.1v.
So now I have 2 kits each with a dead stick after just a few weeks. I'm going to RMA them one last time and stick them up on EBay. I'm not posting this to complain to Corsair but rather to tell them that they've lost a customer. In the last few years I have seen the RAM qualtiy go downhill. It's overpriced, heavily marketed RAM that is NOT enthusiast quality. I paid $250 and $200 for these kits, while I understand that Micron are no longer making the D9GMH Corsair have failed to fill the gap with anything even remotely high performance. People will argue that if it runs spec than sometimes that's the way the ball bounces but not when it's advertised and sold as high performance RAM. That's just my opinion.
I told myself I wasn't going to complain about this situation because I don't feel it will matter but I just wanted Corsair to know that they will continue to lose customers if this trend continues. The bottom line is for the quality that they is offering there are a dozen other faster and much cheaper kits to be had, both on the DDR2 and DDR3 side.
I really hope they reverse this trend because it used to be that you didn't have to spend $400+ for a nice set of their memory. Corsair used to be my favorite and only choice.
*Edit*
Crap I didn't see this was the 2x2GB 8500C5D versions. Well it still applies just not to this specific kit.

Thanks for the feedback. Also, keep in mind that the MOBO you have listed in your signature had a bad reputation for killing memory. "IF" this is the case with yours, you may want to have it replaced as it will kill any memory you put in it.
The PSC ICs in our 4GB are great so I'm not sure what you are trying to say with respect to ICs. As far as the discontinuation of ICs, we are at the mercy of the IC makers. We can only build with what we can buy. If this were not the case, I'm sure some company would still be building DDR400 with Winbond BH-5s.
