Memory won't do a mhz above 229

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.)
 
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.
 
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.

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?
