All achieved clocks are good for 24/7!

This is all for now fooks. Be nice :p:

G.SKill 2GB HV will be soon available at Newegg.com. The Official release is just began.
I don't know the exact price, I will ask G.S Technician for the price.
What I do know is that they will be more expensive then 2GB HZ, but aggresive priced.

yes they use ce-5 chips.

Great memory for that price, i am waiting for it, when will be available in European shops?

this looks like avarage HX. I've seen those hit higher frequencies at cas 2.5. Got a pair myself, can't test them untill my x1900 xt arrives.

subscribed. I want to see how these sticks scale at 3-3-2-5.

Some1 buy these and let see how well they do :D

why would changing the binned speed from 166mhz to 200mhz out of the fab completely change how the chips react to timings? :confused:

Nice ram! Looks like my "HZ" may become outdated soon.:stick:

G.Skill finally releases "DDR500 guaranteed" Infineon Rev.C modules :up: Thanks for sharing your initial results!

that just burn-in SPD by gskill
if you have a SPD writer, you can burn in 1000 1-1-1-1 if you want to

you say they can do 275 at 3-3-2-8? wow, i should have waited on my 2gb kit

CandymanCan, and where are you 'checking it'?

FYI people have managed >DDR550 with CE-5/6 before using 3-3-2 so i don't see where the problem is.

there's no physical difference between -5 & -6 and SPD also doesn't matter... in fact, the more 'loose' SPD timings are, the better. less chance of troublesome initial boot due to incompatibility (or something similar) on certain boards.

When will this kit be available in Europe?

now is mass production :) will available within 1 week

Here is some more OC:

I also have tested 3D, but artifacts in ATItool tests already...so this IC have the same problems on other CE-6 chips. :nono:
I hope when the kits are for sale, the problem is gone or somewhere at 280MHz :)

same for me in my 3d test....do you think you'll have some adjustment to go further 270 mhz barrier (and wait to newst chip for sale ?)
