kingdingeling Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Eagerly awaiting the package with the ECS 650i SLI mainboard, I looked at DDR2 prices, and saw that they went up by 20€ already! After a quick google search, the prices (at least here in Germany) are supposed to skyrocket in the next couple of weeks, so I thought this is a good time to stock up on some Micron's, as I didn't really like the OCing of my Elpida chips on the GeIL's I own. Quick search revealed that locally the only shop that sold 2GB kits with D9GMH or GCT chips (http://ramlist.infinityx.nl/ddr2/) had some Mushkin HP2's in stock, so I went down there today and picked up a kit These are Micron D9GMH on Brainpower PCB, so they should OC well! I can't post pics right now, as my dad stole my camera, but when my bro gets back I'll borrow his! *shuts off rig to put the new sticks in* [Edit] God I'm beginning to hate my rig! :angry2: So, I put the sticks in, boot fine at stock speeds! Of course, first thing I think of is OCing obviously, and I read a couple of things about the D9GMH chips, and started testing. Went from 4-4-3-10 (all at 400MHz) to 4-3-3-8 and then to 3-3-3-8 (at 2.3 volts), and thats where the pain started. Wouldn't boot correctly into windows anymore, would always give an error, even when I changed it back to stock speeds! Now that's where some of you'll be saying "never change a running system", and I agree, but I had to try these I guess they'll stay in the package for now, I'm back on the GeIL's with Elpida chips. But although I put those in, it still acted up! My totally rock-load stable settings (400x8 @ 1.4V's, RAM @ 4-4-4-12, 2.125V's) weren't working properly either. Now I could finally reach windows using 266x8 (default) and the RAM at 400MHz 4-4-4-12. I'll reboot and see what it does (go back to OC settings I mean), but this is really . me off! <_< [Edit2] Jeezuuz! Me hates! I dunno if I f-ed up my voltage controllers during this short OCing session. Before this, CPU-Z would show BIOS 1.4V's as 1.376V's, but now it shows 1.360V's... What's going on?!

weldzilla Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) Clear your cmos and start over. As far as cpu-z goes I would not get too excited by a difference od 16/100ths of a volt discrepancy. If you want perfection you are never going to get it with software you will have to hook a Multi-meter to your system and leave it there forever.

Waco Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 I'll have to find out what their in-house names are and look up the specs. I may be able to give you some pointers on timing that wouldn't violate my confidentiality agreement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Say what?! @ WZ, did that already! I work at Micron. I'll try and find out the actual in-house part number and find the real specs, maybe there's something I'd be able to tell you about them to help you OC them that won't break confidentiality rules. Or I could not... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Now that would be sweeeeet!!! These are the part number 996533 from Mushkin, timings 4-5-4-11 @ 2.1V's if that helps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 I'll look into it tomorrow if I have time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
