Testing my cheap rams... Im kinda speechless

[luihed]

I have a set of Ballistix pc5400 but after a month, its doing the 1.8v no boot issue so I had to RMA them.... In the meantime I borrowed these rams from my local store to tie me up for now..... These rams are Kingston unmatched PC5400 Cas5, same rams the store uses for thier ready built systems....

As expected, these are nowhere close to my Ballistix, what I didnt expect though are the numbers I got from them.... here goes, all test @ 2.4v

Memtest.....



Superpi 32M



Some 3-3-3 action.... not too bad...



And then 5-5-5-15.... what these rams are rated at


24/7 I run my ballistix at 4-4-4-6 @ 420fsb, Ive had these modules run with my D9s at the same speed but at 4-4-4-12 instead.... I ended up buying these cos 1, there cheap and secondly if ever I get the 1.8v syndrome again, I have these to get to the bios..... Im very curious though on how these cheeapies compare to non-D9 midrange performance rams.....

They don't look bad at all - honestly I really feel blowing $250+ isn't necessary for people that don't run benchmarks for a living.

That said, I still have my $450 Redlines and $300 HZ's....

*sigh*

That worst thing about that is they don't gain me anything - I play with them a little bit but then just go back to my normal routine of dicking around online, doing stuff for class, and playing games. They net me nothing at all.

Wanna trade?

You must be joking about trading cos these are $90 sticks lol....

Im happy with what I have right now cos if I need to do some benching I can run my D9s... 24/7 I run all 4..... 420x9 at 4-4-4-12 should be more than what I need....

This has already been covered here.

Your ram seems to do a better than mine at 5-5-5 tho.
