Mushkin 4GB HP2-6400 Test Report
About two weeks ago, Mushkin launched a new 4gb kit, HP2-6400 5-4-4 modules, designed for both high-performance and value. This kit is priced lower than the 4GB XP2-6400 and 4 GB XP2-8500 kits, (currently at $345 on Mushkin site). I got the chance to test a set of this stuff and I must say I am quite pleased with the performance especially in this price range.
That being said, here is your Mushkin HP2-6400 Redline (part 996564) test report:
First I’ll start with a few words on the test platform and shots of the RAM and board. I’m using an E6600 Conroe setup with a DFI LANParty UT ICFX3200-T2R (RD600). The HP2-6400 uses the FrostByte™ (blue) heatspreader spreaders and comes with Mushkin’s new packaging.
Test bed
DFI LANParty UT ICFX3200-T2R
E6600
BFG GeForce 7800GTX @ stock
Mushkin XP-650
Windows XP, 32bit, untweaked
CPU Cooling - Custom H20 and stock cooler on the NB
RAM Cooling – 120mm Panaflo
Testing methodology:
I don’t plan on killing this kit quite yet so I am sticking to 2.3v for the time being. If I get ambitious later on, Ill run a few 2.4v benches. Also, I realize that I am only using a 32bit OS which can only test a lil over 3gb at a time, however I don’t have a 64bit at the moment so that will have to do for now. Ill try and pick up Vista 64 next week and run a few more tests.
Benches used:
Super PI v1.5 (two instances of 32M)
Tools:
AMD System Manager (clockgen and mem tweeking tool)
Smart Guardian
SetFSB
I am going to test 4-3-3, 4-4-4, and 5-4-4 using 2.0v, 2.1v, 2.2v, and 2.3v for the mem.
Now for some test results:
4-3-3 – 2.0v – 400Mhz
4-3-3 – 2.1v – 435Mhz
4-3-3 – 2.2v – 451Mhz
4-3-3 – 2.3v – 460Mhz
