Hehe I got new ram today. Cost me $189 at MSY for 2GB. I have been toying around with frequencies for about 30 minutes I'll have more of a play later tonight when I get around to it.

Stock is DDR667 5-5-5-15 2T

Here are the results so far

DDR800 5-5-5-15 2T 1.9v


DDR881 5-5-5-15 1.9v


DDR948 5-5-5-15 2T 2.0v


DDR978 5-5-5-15 2T 2.0v


Anyway thats just the quick results, I'm starting to think this board doesn't like DDR1000+ as these sticks seem like they could easily pass it with more volts yet no boot whatsoever. I'll try upping the NB volts soon as well.

not bad for cheap sticks.. any photos ?

I'll have access to a decent camera and some more light tomorrow for photos

It's not bad for cheap ram, however when doing those quick tests I tried 4-4-4-12 at DDR978 and DDR948. Both failed in orthos within seconds

Then again if they can run 4-4-4-12 DDR800 2T that will be enough for my system to run normally

Also going to flash these sticks with an edited spd file so they don't need any effort to run at DDR800

Let me know how this works out and what is changed in the SPD if you don't mind, that looks interesting.

Hehe, at least you have found someone who wont be getting any RMA's

Well I at least know they are perfectly stable at DDR800 5-5-5-15 1.8v Played 2 hours of BF2 for the first time in quite a while

If you want, when I edit the spd I'll send you a copy

That's cool, if it performs well, I may get a set and try it myself. As far as the RMA, "IF" you ever have any issues, I'll help you out as best I can.

A little teaser shot of the new spd file

Currently testing at those exact timings and sub timings. Soon I will be the proud owner of the first Corsair Value Select DDR800 2GB kit


10 minutes in on the Orthos Blend Run CPU is at stock so we will soon see if these sticks will fail

I have no idea if it is still in production but, we used to selll VS PC6400 2 x 1gb. I have a set in an editing box. If you want, I can send you a Taiphoon file of the SPD so you can compare to what you are using now in your modded SPD.
