sold my GMH
moving to i7 so all the old gotta go
anyone need an unlockable sempron 140 or a dfi m2rsh?

Dude, I'd love to suggest Phenom II X6 and 890FX. Beats i7 by a hair as long as you aren't running 8 programs at 100% load 24/7...in which it's still close. THey all hit 4.2-4.3 Ghz stable, most doing 4.3

But you already have i7 gear so I'll leave you alone.

Maybe its just me, but until intel drop prices to something reasonable with AMD chipsets and CPUs running so close to i7 systems for a hell of a lot less, I can't see why anyone would pick a intel system..

[ramfan]

i would love to stay with amd but HWbot points are hard to get with amd chips without LN2.
i dident pay much for the 759 and the ram i can use on AM3 so my options are still fairly open.

+1.

1055T @ 4.2/3GHz NB,
DDR3-2000 to 2100 7-9-7 or 1800 6-6-6 with Hypers
890FX, crossfire 5870's...I know drivers for the cards suck but imo thats the ONLY downside to an AMD card.

i have no words for this...

I wish some decent DDR2 D9s had made it to 2GB capacities per module

Would have been great-but I was lucky that most of my boards had no problem with 4 sticks-here is an example, these are 4x1GB Compustoxx Diablo PC2-9600


Of course this limits to 4GB max, but for me as an old fashioned XP32 User this never was a problem

[Shiranui Gen-An]

I forgot CSX made PC2-9600, those had D9GMH chips right? I have a kit of the PC2-9200 with GKX.

Yes, as CSX always showed the ICs on the label, these had GMH- wonderful rams, the only ones I had besides a couple of TeamGroup kits which could take a stand with my Crucial Ballistix and Tracers- I still regret that I sold them

Can you verify the voltage with a DMM? I have some doubt the stick is 32M capable of 675 MHz 5-5-5-15 at 2.21v

The best sticks I have tested need 2.496v for SPI32M 675 MHz | 5-5-5-15

[websmile]

The VDimm is correct-2,5V for 675 is not that good- what board did you use? I had several kits on different boards by DFI and Gigabyte and even Asus that made 650-660 with around 2,2V, my Diablo needed 2,34V for 677 5-5-5-15 on the P45-UD3- but I have to admit that not all of my about 150 GMH/GKX/GCT kits ran that well, I also had kits which needed 2,2V for 600- having sold a lot of my ram I can assure you as well that the results were reproducable by the buyers-the maniac I sold the Diablo to tested them with Memtest86 @700 5-5-5-15 and validated them 780 on air

[CryptiK]

You can see my results from that kit here

Used a DFI DK-T2RSB Plus.

Sounds like you have had some very good kits (150 kits is a very large sample size comparative to most users). I've not seen any that will do SPI32M 675 MHz | 5-5-5-15 @ 2.21v. SPI32M @ 650 MHz 5-5-5-15 is very easy on less than 2.2v with a decent kit but over 650 MHz things scale worse. I've only seen one other guy pass SPI32M at >680 MHz 5-5-5-15 as I did (using semi-sane voltages), and that was eva2000.

[websmile]

Impressive result-are these Team 800 3-3-3-8?-mine refused to scale above 667. Ram is my biggest hobby, major part of the ca 150 kits where Crucial Ballistix and Tracers, but I had also CSX, Team 1300,1200, 1066 and 800 Cl4 and Cl3, G-Skill 1066 C4, Geil 1066 C4 and Esoteria and so on- only two Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 I still own where able to do the 670+ with about 2,2V, one Tracer kit nearly made it as well-but I am aware of the fact that this is very unusual

This was on an UD3P I owned at that time- now I have an UD3 and a DFI P45 T2RS which is not in use at the moment for I upgraded one pc to 1156

[CryptiK]

Thanks, yes that kit is Team 800 MHz 3-3-3-8 with GMH IC's. I also have some Geil C4's and another set that are in house testing sample only, not retail (this kit supposedly did around 650 CL4). Both of these Geil kits are still untested by myself, as I pulled all my DDR2 stuff apart and was focusing on learning subzero with my 8600 & REX but sadly everything has stopped now due to work commitments. If you search my username in this thread you'll see the bulk of my air testing, and a little DICE testing (albeit with my weakest kit).

Stop showing off please!

Seriously, that's amazing!

I have to test some of my kits at lower voltages as well, maybe you can show me the magic...

D9GSV was at least semidecent, but as far as I know no one ever tested those sticks on more recent chipsets like P45.
The results by D9GSV on the older chipsets are easily beaten by RAM with PSC or Elpida chips on P45.

[websmile]

There´s not much magic left-two days ago I sold my Team 1200, the months before a lot of highend ram like the diablo, my imported Tracer 8500 and 8000 as well as a lot of other Crucials, GEIL and G-Skill 1066C4 went away- I will stay with DDR2 with one PC, but the times as I had 40 GB of GMH in the closet are gone

[Ket]

As fun as playing with RAM is I've thought for years its about time modules moved beyond 64bit. The consumer is ready for native 128bit. Imagine a dual channel config of 256bit, or a 384bit quad channel, pretty awesome.

[BeepBeep2]

I have 4GB of D9's coming my way on monday...you all better watch out!

[websmile]

I´m looking forward to your results- I´m getting a couple of kits myself next week-my old Cellshock 1000 with GKX which I promised to exchange against a Ballistix 1066 kit and some Mushkin 1000 C4 Redline which a friend asked me to test for him-maybe I can get some results worth posting them

[Eeky NoX]

First is the max I screened before burning the board
Crucial Ballistix Tracer 16FD5 D9gmh @708C5/2,7v maxed out over 730mhz with ET6 at that time but freezin all the time ^^

Second is what I reached quickly, but it ran 3D @685mhz quite well with 2,6v cooled with 2x80 fans (nothing exceptional but good enough for me back in the days)
No other screenie cus I felt I had time (SS incident) and now no board can hit such ram freq

[websmile]

Very good result-sometimes I thought the Tracers were binned better than the classic Ballistix-but time and experience proved me wrong-nonetheless here is one of my Tracer kits on an UD3P

[Eeky NoX]

Agree! That's a fact indeed

I had to set a too high vdimm to hit someting :/ even 600mhz was hard with less than 2,3 ! (Tracers erf)

[CryptiK]

Probably not true for all kits, but eva2000 way back in the day found in his testing of various tracer and non tracer kits that the tracers were a little better than the non tracers.
