Those Kingston HyperX was crap.

Can not boot in to Windows XP @ rated speed (1200) @ rated voltage (2,30 -2,35).

Can´t even pass Memtest86+ in single channel with up till 2,40v, 3 sticks freezes at start and the fourth within 30 sec.

Have tried voltage from 2,00 - 2,40v.

How about that guys, are they crap or what.

RMA, here I come.

Really disipointed, I have 2 other set of the same kind and they are really good.

[CryptiK]

That's disappointing. They could have been good kits. Hope the replacements perform better.

Well, the question is if the replacement will still be using Micron chips.

It's really weird that you didn't get them stable from 2.00 to 2.40V.
If they were PSC they should have been stable at lower volts.

There was a review at a domain that is no longer available that tested the newer HyperX 9600 kits with Elpida ICs and they couldn't hit 600MHz either.

Okey guys, I took a sneak peak under those HyperX heatspreaders and I can confirm that they are Elpida E5108AJBG.

It´s the same kind as my 4x1 Kingston HyperX PC-8500 have, I took a look in my log book and it said that I could boot into Windows @ 1200C5 with 2,24v (didn´t go higher) and SKEW advance 300ps but it was it.

The best the could do was 1128 4-5-5-15 Moderate tRD6, NBv 1,31 and DRAMv 2,12 @ bus 450 or 1066 5-5-5-15 Stronger tRD6, NBv 1,31 and DRAMv 1,86 @ bus 400, all the above was with my Rampage Formula.

Run Elpida @ 2,30 - 2,35v seems to be to much, according to the data sheet 2,30 are the absolute maximum voltage.

They gonna retur to sender


Thank you Shiranui Gen-An for the link, much apprecieted, it was to some comfort.

Frankly, I'm wondering how Kingston can market that crap as DDR2-1200.

[Ket]

Somebody should scatter a email to Kingston telling them how those sticks are and give all the technical details why. On a brighter note, I installed a Q8400 in my rig today not really tried OCing yet just finding its FSB wall, going @ 460MHz so far and counting

[radaja]

Ket so you got yourself a quad,nice
looking forward to some results

[Ket]

Workin on it, limited by how far I can push the FSB because of the 8x multi. Took a small gamble on I would get a quad that can do 470-480 FSB. So far I'm testing 450*8. That in itself isn't shabby for a quad, but I would like a little more so I can run a faster DRAM frequency than whats (to me) a rather mundane 1125MHz. I'll be satisfied with 1150MHz+

[radaja]

i hear you on that,thats why i sold my Q9650
couldnt get the high fsb memory clocks that i was used
to with my dualcore,the highest i could get stable was
518fsb.and after experiencing 550fsb w/the dual core
and my cellshocks running 5:6,well the quad just did
not want any of it.

[CryptiK]

Pushed my new 8600 little bit to get a better idea of what this board can do.

SPI32M @ 4703.5 MHz (523 x 9) / 627.1 MHz / 5-5-5-15 / PL 7

Time = 9m 58.953s



Everest @ 4703.5 MHz (523 x 9) / 627.1 MHz / 5-5-5-15 / PL 7

[radaja]

nice one CryptiK,thats a nice setup you got now.
E8600and the DFI X48-T2RSB plus.i think im going to get
an E8600 too.what the vid on that one,and where did you
buy it at?

[CryptiK]

Yeah I bought it for benching with so I don't have to worry about hurting my nice low voltage 8400 which now stays in the M2F for my 24/7 system.

The VID is 1.1125v. I don't live in the US, I just bought it from a local e-tailer.

[radaja]

wow,nice low vid.

[CryptiK]

Yeah, but it's uncontrollable on air. I have a TRUE copper with a 2000 rpm Scythe Ultra Kaze + another 120mm fan blowing on socket/PWM and it hits 60 - 70*C so fast under load. It wont even boot with 1.50v BIOS set, not sure why. Think I my need to get another one and hope for a VID around 1.16 - 1.18v, might be easier to cool.

Yeah its a real pain in the arse. I'm loving this quad for all the extra power it gives but I'm really not used to seeing sub 9.5GB\s memory bandwidth results I think I'll shoot for using the 266 BSEL strap and hope I can keep my current settings, that'll boost things enough for me to be relatively settled.

[CryptiK]

I did a little Everest bandwidth testing. Seems 565 FSB on the 5:6 divider using PL 8 is the max I can stabilize enough to bench, and that took 1.78 vNB. Think this is about as far as X48 and DDR2 can go on air on this setup.

555 FSB / 666 MHz (DDR2-1333 MHz) / PL 8



560 FSB / 672 MHz (DDR2-1344 MHz) / PL 8



565 FSB / 678 MHz (DDR2-1356 MHz) / PL 8

[Shiranui Gen-An]

So close to 12K across the board!

[radaja]

So close to 12K across the board!

thats what i was thinking.dont give up CryptiK
i think if you keep at it you'll see 12K across the board

[zsamz_]

this any good?

Good job for DDR2

Thanks, I do want to get 12K across the board with DDR2, not sure if I will get there on air though.

this any good?

Very nice, a few more FSB and you will have 13K across the board. I want to get a REX to play with, think its time for me to go DDR3 + X48 before I start abusing i7.

[Shiranui Gen-An]

DDR3 doesn't count

you need ut p45 or ut p45 for 12k

i coulda had 13k across the board it if i just tweaked it but was past 3 am lol
i gotta say the rex is an amazin board and for the price now its hard to resist
but if you get the rex get a tri kit so you can pass it allong to i5-i7
i think i5 gonna be better

it is d9 thread
i'm just here to give you sleepless nights
