Anyone have experience with this kit? Would love to see 1000 or 1066 from this kit?

Even less likely with 8gigs installed?

Thanks!

I say its possible.

No. Period. I need to overvolt to run stable at DDR2-801 with that kit. Sorry, but there will be no memory overclocking with that kit. However, I do say I'm pleased with it and it will let me go up to 400FSB if I have a 1:1 ratio. Also, I doubt any of the 4GB kits out now OC over their rated well at all anyway. I just bought this one because it's the cheapest. Finally, the new heatspreaders are much better looking than the old ones that are shown on Newegg. They are a dark blue and have a bigger G.Skill logo.

Hey, Great info!

The Mushkin Kit (The 700.00) hits 1200. I've seen a few reviews after catching jriggs sale.

Although I am still considering his used Mushkin kit, the idea of filling up 8Gigs to increase my 3D rendering performance for less sounds a bit tempting. Maybe 8 gigs running at 800 isn't so bad?

Thanks again for the first hand experience! I won't be looking forward to any Overclocks on that G.Skill. =( Sniffle.

Wow audi, I'm not even gonna ask what you need 8 gigs for

Sadly, just as with 1GB sticks, the early models have poor specs and overclock even worse. I think you will either have to tolerate the lower performance or stick with 4X1GB for now.

Hey, Audi, this is in that build I did for the woman who needed the video-editing rig. She loves it and is glad she went with a $2500 rig rather than an equivalent $7200 Mac.

Glad it turned out okay, dude! I will take some time to think about the next ram purchase to go with Asus p5k, then.

I'm thinking 8 gigs of DDR2-800 would shave a few minutes off of my final renders in Final Cut and Cinema4D.

It's either this or spend 1700.00 on some Camera Equipment.

These Mushkins will go up to DDR2 1100. http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/mushkin_6400
About $300 at the egg.

 

[jriggs256]

or you can get the pc2-8500 sticks and go well over 1200.....

Read some reviews, the Mushkin PC2-8500 XP Black is the fastest 4gb kit on the market.

What do you mean..they let you go up to a 1:1...thats only 800mhz..***? I run my 2x1gb HZ's at 1000mhz, 4-4-4-12-4-20-8-9-9-9 with 2.3v. If i put them on CAS5 they can run 1100mhz on 2.25!
