Memory won't do a mhz above 229

[Polish3d]

I'm using Mushkin HP 2x1gb 2-3-2 memory at settings currently listed in my sig.

I cannot get it to past 226-9 FSB at 1:1 no matter WHAT.

I loosened timings, upped voltage to 2.8 (its highest rated volts) etc...

Now I almost think I got a bunk batch because this memory is rated at 2-3-2-5 at 200 FSB (1:1) and I'm almost sure it won't do that either.

I guess I may have to RMA it but I'd rather not.

Any suggestions? (Btw others are getting fantastic overclocks with this memory.)

if it won't do the 2-3-2-6 at ddr400 don't waste your time- rma it. there's at least one rep who hangs around at extreme systems if you want to contact them.

they're making a big push at service now that they broke from their parent company. at the end pages of this thread-

sweet.

hey, what pcb did they make them on and what color spreaders did you get?

i'll double check mine tomorrow but mine are the brainpower 808 with blue spreaders.

 

[Polish3d]

Mine are blue too....I can check this weekend sometime

Mine are silver.

I haven't tried much with this pair yet, but i may have a little time on my day off.

229 on 2x1GB seems great to me. Can someone give me a WORKING link to these sticks?

I wanna move to 2x1GB but I dont wanna lose the good overclock and insane timings these VXs are giving me.

 

[Polish3d]

Most people are hitting 240-250 at lesser timings w/ the same memory

these are the ones.

n7, did you see what your pcb is or could you check next time in the box?

mushkin is killing the $$ on these now, huh? damn.

they also just came out with their 1 gig pc3700 but i haven't seen much on it.

230Mhz is about the highest those 1GB module will go in general.
Use memory dividers, it won't afftect you A64 gaming performance.

Yikes! $305? For that much they better hit 250mhz

I'll take a look later.

What should i be looking for, aside from the silver/platinum heatspreaders?

It's impossible.
