G.SKILL F2-9600CL5D-4GBPI Sample testing

[kagula323]

Hey guys im having troubleee, ok MB is giga x48-DQ6, i wondering if i shld get Patriot Extreme Performance Viper Series DDR2 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-9600 Enhanced Latency DIMM Kit 5-5-5-12, x2 so will hav 4x1gb, or these G.skill 9200's that u guys have been testing, out, the reson for all this my dad is buying a home server so then my some of my rig comonets go into the surver and i geta upgrade my cpu atm is Q6700, looking at getting Q9650 and alos new ram between the previos that i linked, im not looking at huge oc's meaby a bit but i want a good increase from my 4g of team xtreem 1066mhz at 5-5-5-15s, so it will last a bit longer before i fully revamp to i7's and DDR3 which wil happen....eventully. ppl have ben having trouble getting the vipers 2 stock settings, but that was on maximus and ramage formulas, but im pretty sure my board is a newer chipset and a newer better board than the formulas, so im crossing my fingers and hoping they will both run on my board. i dnt kno HEAPS of stuff about RAM OCing or CPU ocing but i hav a general idea so no huge complex answers about skew timings and all that, i kno cas's and mhz and stuff thou....

Don't buy the Patriot Viper ... I have a kit 2x1GB DDR2 1200 and they are not D9 ... on taking the heatspreader off I found they are Elpida's. And settings of 5-5-5-12 are NVIDIA mobo profile's. On my Gigabyte EP45-UD3P I managed quite hard to get them at 1200MHZ and that with 5-5-5-15 latency and 2.3-2.32 vdimm. Also If u are going Q9650 way and don't need crossfire buy yourself a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P ... they are the best mobo's for Quad clocking and gonna save yourself from lot of problems comparing with u'r current mobo.

For ram just wait and buy when they are available in your region the new OCZ Blade Low Voltage Series 2x2GB DDR2 1066

From my point of view Q9650 + Gigabyte EP45-UD3P + 4 or 8GB OCZ Blade Low Voltage series is the way u should go. It's the best decision I think one could take.

That's my opinion. Hope it helps you

I was looking at an upgrade in ram from my 4g of team dark 1066 5-5-5-15's, and yes im keeping my mobo and yes im useing Xfire, im only lookign at replacing RAM and CPU, ok then, yeah also these vipers that im talkign about are the green heatsink ones not the black, also it seems its goign to be very hard 2 get my hands on them over here, the G.skill that you guys have been testing i found at a shop in my city, costs around $350(AUD). i think that most of the users here r US but hey, to put that in perspective the Q9650 is goning to cost $485(AUD), anyway still wondering if the g.skill hould be the way to go.
