Rebuild the Winbond honor -GSkill 1GBGH simple test

[windwithme]

Tomorrow is typhoon holiday. The mood is good and post some delayed test.

Take a look first.


Equipping with 2 holes Winond UTT. It guarantees DDR400 2 2-2-5 2.7~2.9V.
The same level as the famous Winbond BH5.





Specification :
* Package : 512MB kit (2x256MB) 1024MB kit (2x512MB) dual channel pack
* IC Spec : Winbond UTT
* CAS Latency : 2-2-2-5 (PC3200)
* Test Voltage : 2.7 ~ 2.9 V
* PCB Board : 6 Layers PCB
* Speed : DDR 400 MHz (PC3200)
* Type : 184-pin DDR SDRAM
* Error Checking : Non-ECC
* Registered/Unbuffered : Unbuffered
* Quality Control : Comprehensive rigorously tested in pair at dual channel environment
* Warranty : Lifetime

OC Winbond chip still needs higher voltage.
Before OC, except the body, well cooling is also impacting the result.
The same as testing OCZ VX PC4000 DDR500 2 2-2-5 3.3V, I use 12X12cm fan.


Test config.
AMD Athlon64 3000+ 0448&X2 4200+
DFI nF4 LanParty Ultra-D
GSkill 1GBGH
SPARKLE 6200
TOPOWER 520W

Testing with Winchester 3000+ 0448SPAW
DDR400



DDR500 1.5 2-2-0 3.24V



Swap to X2 4200+, it can reach DDR540 SP2004




After comparing Winchester, Venice and X2, we can see the AMD memory controller is getting better.
Combining with DFI LP board, you can reach higher.
Every CPU is different. So you need different BIOS parameters to reach DDR530.

BTW, Winbond chip is still in high C/P.
After adding voltage, it generates more heat. You can add extra cooler to reduce it.
But we cannot see if high voltage will damage the chip in long term use.
As electric moving theory, higher voltage means lower life.
The test above is over office spec. We need better cooling, better memory body and DFI LP board.

Wouldn't that be the whole point of picking up this ram

Anyways, GSKILL needs to come out with some intel friendly low latency stuff

[AMD-me]

damn that looks nice, wish i had picked me up some of that. My mushkin redline cant do 270mhz thats for damn sure. Hell I cant get 260 stable. Also it cant do Ras to Cas 2. This gskill stuff looks really nice.


PS Does cas 1 actually do anything?

[justwOo]

wow 270 @ 3.5v
Mine should be here this week osometime, makes me excited

[Dumo]

heres GH @ 271-3.6V.....single vid. card b/way...

[Dumo]

No cold boot issue with Gxkill GH

[Aleman]

Nice results ! Congrats.

[georgesod]

So what? U r gskill's employee and u r getting cherry picked modules in order to review 'em and then make all of us want like hell to buy them. Personally i don't trust no more any of you, reviewers and employees. And it's not against gskill individually, but to all of the companies whose policy is to get into forums and present products which don't stand for real world users.

Wooooo that's good news , makes me very happy having purchased them a while ago (not been able to use them yet as I'm still waiting for parts to my new rig)

I've had 8 sets of G.Skill, 6 sets of TCCD and 2 of UTT and they have ALL done what windwithme has posted his able to do. I think that if anything G.Skill tend to post conservative results.

[situman]

is it on sale yet?

[Magnj]

yep at the egg...at least i think this is it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231013

Thats damn cheap for 265ish @ 2-2-2-5. My VX only does like 255

I have a set of GSkill 4400 LE that does better than the "advertised" here on the foruns by GSkill-related users.

I think that makes me sort of a GSkill employee undercovered r something like that. Or just a lucky b@st@rd.

Personally, and from what I've seen, I don't think that GSkill is inflating expectations about their products. There are many normal people who can reproduce or even beat the results presented. But overclock is a game. Some do have bad luck and can't reach that high.

Thats the most important thing with all this utt products in the retail channels now. I bought another brand of utt ($255 for dual 512m) that ran really fast @ 270/2-2-2, but it gave me a lot of headache with cold boot problems......not this gh though

[Onepagebook]

Use Merlin, Hellfire mod mix 510-2 fix bios can easily get DDr500@3.3v and DDR530@3.43v stable at least super pi 1.4 mod 32m passed! Below is what I ran super pi 32m by using GH, 3.4v but forgot to show the mbm5 though

[gundamit]

So what? U r gskill's employee

I didn't realize he is a GSkill employee. Is he? I think the XS community would benefit from more participation from people pimping wares from companies targeting the enthusiasts community. That said, their status as such should be clearly noted in their sig or under their avatar. Like OPB for example.

Back on topic - 270? A nice pair of sticks for benching .

[HARDCORECLOCKER]

So take a look here:

http://www.geilusa.com/proddetail.asp?linenumber=69

Stock CAS 1.5 and warranty up to 3.8Vdimm !!!

Maybe the new No.1.........

"Thmperature Thermometer" but no mention of active cooling required. I'm a little leary of Geil since they don't have the same reputation as Mushkin, OCZ and GSkill, but some of the results posted on other threads look very good. At 3.8v they must not only tested for speed but temps as well right? My "Thmperature Thermometer" are my fingers ... if I can't hold on to them, they're too hot.

[HARDCORECLOCKER]

Yep - temp thermometer is somethin' for the kindergarden but the sticks could be nice ones - active cooling never was a problem for me:

[pcadiction]

This ram works fine with venice & divisors???
Bye

[DriveEuro]

Too bad you still have to run the ram at 2T.

[ChongL]

why 2T?

[DriveEuro]

Nevermind, I was reading 2 thread at once and thought that this one was running 2gb of this. If it was 4 sticks you'd have to run 2T. Dang, I should just read one thread at a time... lol

[windwithme]

DDR550 2 2-2-5 PI 4M

[fxr91]

How about a 32M Pi? I only trust 32M as proof for memory clocks (like your 261 HTT pic)
