I have never seen ddr433 with those timings. It must be pretty good stuff. I would PM their rep here, Steve, and get the scoop.

216MHz is not unusual @ 2-2-2-5 for UTT memory @ 2.8V. Ultimately, most of the gold series do use UTT/BH series memory, therefore these probably are capable of 2-2-2-5 w/ up to 3.6V up to 260-275Mhz (DDR520-DDR550)

I have heard a number of folks pan UTT so I would be cautious if that's what it is. Again, Steve would tell you the ICC's being used.

thoses are probably handpicked sticks(sort of like thoses DDR500 DFI special sticks)

really? my set of gold vx runs solid as a rock at ddr460 2-2-2, solid @ ddr480 with the timings at 2-2-3. so far i've been very happy with it.

I think you miss understood what I meant. Yes, I have seen people run those timings, but I have never seen DDR433 sold with 2-2-2-5 timings. Usually you see DDR400 sold with those advertised timings.

Oh yes, so i did. My mind is a terrible thing to waste!:) Your's are 2x1gig and these are 2x512 so they are different IC's. Your's are working well, Trendx?

this is BH-UTT. ozzimark/(cf)eclipse has a set of them. iirc he got 215 2-2-2 with 2.6v and it climbed from there. it scales about 5mhz-10mhz with each .1v added, when it gets to 3.3v+ it gains around 5mhz per bump. they are good for the money, and you get the new sweet heatspreader.

yup. it's fun ram, but my set doesn't scale too well with voltage. oh well :(

but yes, it is rated for 216mhz at 2.8v.. i find that the 2.8v is needed for stock speeds ;)

ccu, that 215mhz at 2.6v was with 2.5-3-3
