Playing with Micron D9GMH: CAS 3 to 5

[[XC] Oj101]

My sticks died because they had no cooling at all - I set out to kill them

That sounds like the time I accidentally Memtested my CH-5s at 4v

[Don_Dan]

Whoops, me thinks I meant D9GCT @ Ramlist @ i4memory. It's been a long week

I have two of these, haven't tested both yet, only the first one I picked. Might mix them to see if I get get the two best sticks out of them together.

That's possible as well, but they are all made from the same die anyway, so you might find some good D9GCT and some bad D9GMH.

AMD is not fond of C3 on ddr II just some FYI, If you ran some performance comparisons you would already know this

A word of advice, make good friends with memtest. With memtest you will find you can get much higher with less volts if you find the rams sweet spot timings.

I just started with it because I have some plans for my 5600+ and ram later on with DI.

I'll look into memtest.

Rather use LN2 than DI, as DI will probably make you cold bug to hell and back.

I've got a plan...

Taking an AM3 stock cooler and "modifying" it to hold DI in the middle. No need for a pot on a CPU with a cold bug like that.

Beep: do u have some time for comparsion superpi runs with diferents timings? 800MHz cl3 is super!

I'll run them (32M) later.

850 CL3 vs 1100 CL4 vs 1250 CL5.

I do simulation racing online so I'l occupied for the next few hours.

Did they explode?

what kind? :P

GT Legends, GTR2, iRacing

Close enough, the BIOS has the option to boot to Memtest which is what I did, thinking it would boot to Windows while I made lunch (or whatever it was that I did). I came back to a blank screen and now they don't boot unless they really want to :/

[Ket]

Ah, same as my Mushy D9s. They don't want to boot anymore unless they feel like it

[Panther_Seraphi]

Looks like good timings. Are D9s that good?


Ive got OCZ FlexXLC PC6400 (ProMos). Not to hijack the thread but what do you think this kit of OCZ should do?

Got it at a fairly nice setup at the mo but wondering if they can go further. HTT is at 250mhz at the mo but it freezes if i add any more.

Ill make another thread if beep wants me to.

[Ket]

I can't remember any specifics about ProMos but if memory serves they wont respond well to voltages above 2v, and will top out anywhere between 1100-1200 typically. Again, if I remember right OCZ FlexXLC that used ProMos wern't that great, so they will probably max around 1100 5-5-5-15.

[BeepBeep2]

My ProMOS do 1200 CAS 5 stable at 2.2v.
They scale well until 2.5v.
I eeked out a 1264 Mhz CAS 5 validation last week.

Good sticks should do 1000-1066 4-4-4-12 at reasonable (~2.2v) voltage.

[Ket]

Your ProMos would seem to be a exception to the norm. I don't remember seeing a single ProMos kit doing well above 2v

[BeepBeep2]

Your ProMos would seem to be a exception to the norm. I don't remember seeing a single ProMos kit doing well above 2v

They are specced at 800 4-4-3-8 @ 2.2v, they do ~1000 stable at 4-4-3-5 ...and 800 4-4-3-8 at 2.0v.

[Ket]

They still seem a exception to the norm to me I vaugely recall a ProMos discussion here on XS and nobody was getting any worthwhile results above 2v. Oh well, history now I guess.

[Panther_Seraphi]

Ive just put together a rig.

The RAM doesnt seem to be the limiting factor though.

M3a79 Running the latest BIOS
Sempron 140 running at 3.4 (seems to have hit a wall.)
4x1Gb OCZ Flex
Radeon 4670
Be Quiet E7 600w power supply

[Ket]

Erm.. are you asking for help or what None too clear there..

Elpida?

[Ket]

Might of been Elpedia. Theres a lot that rattles around in my mind these days after 15 years of having a mind like a sponge that just absorbs all things technical. Think I need to upgrade the processing power of my brain so it finishes archiving things faster

Looks like your in order for RAID 0 SSD's!

Anyway, here's all the DDR2 I own minus one stick that has Qimonda chips that's worth nothing.

[Ket]

SSDs sure would help for when I run out of storage capacity Nice stix you got there, those PC9200 LVs sure do look sexy still Those G-Skills should be badass as well. Supertalent stix look ugly.. still.. even memory stix have to have the ugly friend tagging along
