Anybody had 512MB Kingston HyperX PC2700 memory stick pass all memtest tests?

[gnawrot]

Anybody was able to pass all memtest tests at 166FSB for this Kingston HyperX PC2700 memory stick? I wonder if this memory is any good or I just got bad lemon. I have EPOX 8K7A motherboard with AMD 761 chipset if it helps. I was able to achieve 152MHz FSB with aggressive timings. It did fail 5th test in MemTest at relaxed timing with 153MHz FSB. It did not work with 2.7V DIMM voltage. So I tested it at 2.5 or 2.6 (don't remember). It seems that memory running at 2.6V had less errors that at 2.5V.

Is this Kingston HyperX PC2700 memory any good or should I get Corsair XMS or TwinMos?

Thanks for help.

Anybody please?

This could actually be your motherboard crapping out at the 153mhz FSB. See if you can get a friend to try it out in their board with a motherboard that supports a 1/5 divider.

I don't think memtest86 test the motherboard crapping out. It is either the memory or the cache on your cpu that can't handle it. How I know? My motherboard craps out at 156 fsb, but I can pass all memtest at 166fsb with corsair memory and my cpu.

That board does not support 166Mhz FSB. Only 133Mhz FSB

I know that FSB should be 133 but many people used it even at 180+ (don't know about stability of their systems though).

It's probly your motherboard, and my kingston 3000 goes to 194fsb w/ 6-2-2-2 timings before crapping out.

im running it at 5-2-2-2 @ 170 atm

Soon I will build a new rig for someone so I will test my memory. Thanks again.

i had some kingston 512mb VR2700 that ran 400ddr SPD 2.5v ~ looped M86 (all 11 tests cache ON) for over 7 hours til i stopped it.
