Finally the sticks I've been waiting for... looking good man, any word on retail price ?

[Omastar]

Wow, 1333 on a 4GB kit? Good stuff.

[CarpeDiem]

Nice review! Any ideas on how much these sticks will cost?

Is is really only HCI stable to its rated speed?

Coolaler showed it running DDR2-1200 HCI stable also here. He showed DDR2-1500 as well, but i assume not stable at all.

Regardless, this is some truely wondrously binned ProMOS

editted because my IC info was bad

[zsamz_]

had a feelin they be binnin them to 1200+ soon
lookin good little review
but how stable is it

coolaler's DDR2 1500 is not 1500, CPUz read it wrong, he stated on his thread.
i didn't really do memtest other than 1200 because under 1280, i know it is not stable. don't even bother to run HCI :P

I must be blind...i can't see anywhere in that thread he states it's wrong.

I must be blind...i can't see anywhere in that thread he states it's wrong.

i think guess is reffering to original thread on coolaler's forum

[Zucker2k]

What about some high fsb testing?

[mad_skills]

What chips are on this PI series? Nice results btw.

[msimax]

excellent review when are these going to be available and for how much?

[EnJoY]

Nice stuff Denny.

[-n7-]

i think guess is reffering to original thread on coolaler's forum

WTF...he posted a ton of results on OCX without a single mention that the screenies were a lie.
And Everest is reading the wrong numbers too?

What chips are on this PI series? Nice results btw.

ProMOS.

[MrHydes]

this mems are amazing...

good job guess2098, 668MHz - 10K read bandwidth - latency 50.8ns

[sno.lcn]

Great stuff Denny, very impressive.

[Gogeta]

Guawowo

Here's to hoping the price is right!

[guess2098]

i am testing high FSB right now. QX9650 has hard time to run at 480 tho


also testing 1000 4-4-3-15 now

[guess2098]

UPDATE CL4, high FSB test, please see post #1

[SeLecT]

These chips are really nice!

Thanks for testing!

[crash2k]

when are these going to be officially on sale? i'm looking on many shops on europe and usa but can't find them yet, only 8800-4gbPI

nice stuff anyway

[guess2098]

-----HIGH FSB TEST WITH E8400-----
memory set to 2.3v DDR2 1327 5-5-5-15, FSB 553mhz 1.6v, NB 1.6v
Everest Read ~11k, write ~12k

[Sepander]

Omg, that kit is insane! I'm eager to buy one.

[Dr.Leary]

Powerchips.

Are you really sure about that? Seems to be something else imo

[Rolle2k]

guess2098: heard anything about retail price at launch? and avaliblity, when?
