the cheap ddr2 thread! ($68 kingston 1gb ddr2 667, $130 2gb super tallent 667)

anyone running at 3-3-3-8?

yep

how are they responding to voltage?
2V is a little low.. how about 2.2V+

I will try up to 2.1V to see if I can get them stable at 2.9ghz+ with 400 divider (/10) with C4 timings. If I can do that I will be satisfied. After all C4 timings with the 533 divider is pretty much out of the question, and I would rather have the tight timings than the mhz.

My motherboard only goes up to 2.1 in the bios, I can force 2.4 with a jumper, I'm not sure I want to make that jump.

1GB (2X512MB) Patriot Signature DDR2-667@900MHz, 5-5-5-18 and 2V. I paid $67+tax.

These sticks can do 280 C4 timings with 2.1V, and 400 C5 timings with 2.1V although the latter seems to be on the edge of stability. Unfortunately I cannot do 1T with the 533 divider, so there is little benefit for me there. Any higher than that and I get failures in Orthos or freezing.

I may try 2.4V at some point because they do seem to be responding to voltage. I don't have too much to gain though, maybe 5-10 mhz with the 400 divider at C4 timings, and hopefully the ability to run 1T with the 533 divider.

First I need to get a fan to blow on these things (I've been doing my testing with a table fan pointed at my open case).
