2x1GB Mushkin XP4000 Redline

[johnboy00]

My new DFI LP UT NF4 Ultra-D board arrives tomorrow, and I have 2GB (2x1GB) of Mushkin XP4000 Redline (3-3-2-8) waiting for it. I chose the Mushkin because I wanted 2GB of DDR500 with fairly tight timings for a ~250 fsb oc, and Mushkin says on their web site that they test the memory on this motherboard. Also, Newegg has nothing comparable (2x1GB DDR500) with better timings.

 

But then I read the FAQs and guides here, and this memory is not in the recommended list. I know I shoulda come here first, but it's too late for that. Will this Mushkin memory do what I want, or should I go ahead and get something else to avoid wasting my time? My goal here is a mild overclock of my 4400+ X2, looking for around 2.5 GHz (~250x10) and around 6.5-7 GB/sec memory read (Everest).

 

Other pertinent hardware is: Antec 550w TP 2.0, XFX 7800 GTX, SB X-Fi. I edited my sig in advance, in case there's any confusion (I'm presently on an Abit KN8 Ultra board which I don't like). I already went down the 4x512MB road with some OCZ GE GX DDR433 2-2-2-5, and I don't have to tell you where that went. I chalk that up to ignorance, but give me a break--I'm 40 .

 

Thanks in advance...

Isn't this the third thread on the Redlines within 24 hours?

Doing a search for "Mushkin XP4000 Redline" will bring up some results..

I am planning on buying the Redline XP4000 1 GB (2x 512) for 150 dollars from my friend. Do you think it is worth it? Also, would my expert motherboard arise some memory issues if I am currently running OCZ 1 GB? If I get to run 2 GB worth of ram, I am really happy.

It's fine, I use it. Where is this recommended list?

The cheaper HP3200 has the same chips and will do the same, given enough voltage.

I got my set of these yesterday and I can say that you will be more than happy with them. I'm currently running them at 255MHz (DDR510) at 3-3-2-5 timings (at 2.8V). I couldn't be happier with them.

Thank you all for your responses, I am definitely going to get the redline.

Test stability with 3dmark2001se - i couldnt hit 260FSB with these 1:1 - had to use a divider to get 2.6 out of both me cores.

 

You''ll find the advised settings by bflood (mod at mushkin forums)

no problem with the ram, the girl at Mushkin even called me today to make sure everything was ok, and recommended I increase the voltage a bit to 2.9, wich of course I had already done anyway, lol.

Maybe these Mushkin Redline should be on the NF4 reccommended list?
