2GB G.Skill F2-8500CL5D-2GBPK - 8 Layer PCB + DFI LT X38-T2R
Old 12-02-2008, 09:07 PM   #1 (permalink)

Thanks to folks at G.Skill got a new DDR2 kit of memory to play with - 2x1GB G.Skill F2-8500CL5D-2GBPK 8 layer PCB dual channel kit. All that I have been told is that these use non-Micron D9 ICs but not sure what they use but they seem to perform very well so far

CAS4 Results


Looks like 490mhz 4-4-4-12 is the limit at 2.19v bios set vdimm. Setting CAS5 as in 5-4-4-12/15 didn't help but it could do 5-5-4-x easily at higher clocks. 2.23-2.27v vdimm allowed less memtest86+ v2.00 errors but still were a few when looping test #5.

Oooh nice! These seem to perform on par with the good Ballistix. 600 at 2.1V goodness.

Yeah 5-5-5-15 is good, but 4-4-4-12 maxed around 490Mhz so far at 2.19v - updated post above.

Been asked kindly by G.Skill not to remove heatspreaders, so until I get permission to do so, I'll respect their wishes and keep them clothed for now
