So my new kit showed up today (overnight shipping is amazing) and I pulled the Mushkin out to give it a try.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145240

First impressions are good, the heatsinks appear functional, the cooler is quiet and they worked right out of the box at rated timings+ speed too. With my voltage set down to around 1.55v these things seem to scream but up around 1.64v they just get stupid fast.

My first attempt's have been 1600-1680mhz 7-7-7-20 1T, 1800mhz 7-7-7-20 1T and 2000mhz 8-8-8-21 1T. I decided immediately that the XMP profile was worthless when I saw it set the ram to 2T, confirmed with Everest memory bench.

First post updated with wprime times.

Wprime times seems a lil on the slow side compared to chuchnits 3.8ghz run. Look at it over at the bot main page after you login, latest member submissions in the center of the page.

These are real world benches done after running everest benches, uploading pics and then I downloaded wprime + super pi and ran them all back to back after extracting them. All done in vista 64 vs xp as well as not being stable. 2000mhz is do-able with some tweaking I think for 24/7 use but I am taking it slow here, 6-6-6-18 1T 1600mhz is running memtest now at 1.6 vdimm 4.2ghz cpu speed.

WoW I like those kits also. Did you ever try the 2000mhz kits at all ?

I am torn now between Blades and Reapers.

I know my 1600 Dom's went just over 2000mhz and trying to get past that bump. Seems that many of these high end kits have a hard time going over 2000mhz ?

Too rich for my blood for an extra 100mhz that you won't be able to get 24/7 stable anyway. I'm testing now at 4ghz ~ 1935mhz 7-8-7-20 1T 1.6v It passes memtest #5 repeatededly .

[hellcamino]

A little more tweaking here, 2ghz ram just doesn't want to work with 4ghz uncore unfortunately but this was stable for 4ghz (21x multi) and very responsive generally but pi times were down significantly from my increasing standards.

Currently in testing: 4.3ghz~3.9ghz uncore~1640mhz ram 6-6-6-18 1T 1.6v. Linpack tested already and currently running prime.


If I was willing to turn ht off I would be all over this at about 4.4ghz.

Hellcamino, are you using the turbo feature?
