New G.skill PC6400 HZ 2x1 GB OC Report

[Xtreme Addict]

In advance I would like to apologize for my bad English

Today's subject of review is a set of G.skill memory, sold in new style heatspreaders (tomorrow I am going to include some photos ). Memory is based on Micron D9 GMH IC's.

I had many of G.skill HZ series kits in my hands, starting from old ones without EPP support, ending on HZ PC8500 (GKX). HZ series always blinds, as they are the most prestige line of G.skill memory and they overclock like hell

Testing rig:

- E6600 B2, crappy one
- Asus P5B Deluxe (1101 bios) - NO MOD & MSI P35 Neo-F (1,21b beta bios) - NO MOD
- Tagan EasyCon XL 700W
- MSI Geforce 8600GT

Some photos (only sticks).

Asus P5B Deluxe

5-4-4-8-6-42-14-14-15-14



It is absolute max on bios 2,45v (besides CL5, as 600+ MHz my mobo is limiting). But results are very good for a such cheap ram modules Don't bother with subtimings, as they are very loose to reach more MHz

And now it's MSI turn. Tuning up alphas to reach the highest possible Superpi32M stable MHz's The bad point of this motherboard is memory "wall" on 580 MHz stable... But clocking CL3 is quiet pleasant activity. So turning on some more voltage - 2,9v in bios (real about 2,82, but I shall meassure it with multimeter tomorrow morning). On "normal" motherboards lower voltage (as it overclocks memory very inelegantly) would be used, but it is the only mobo I dispose with higher voltage then 2,5v

470 MHz 3-3-3-12



I think it's quiet above averege with so cheap and low binned sticks
