ddr2 d9 buyers guide

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I NO LONGER HAVE TIME TO UPDATE THIS THREAD REGULARLY SO PLEASE DONT BASE YOUR PURCHASES ON THE MODULES LISTED HERE(I HAVENT VERIFIED ICS IN MONTHS).IF YOU NEED HELP FINDING GMH/GKX POST A REPLY AND WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO HELP YOU FIND WHAT YOUR LOOKING FOR.

seeing that there are alot of gurus wondering what kind of ddr2 they should get.im going to attempt to make the choice a little easier.i will try to keep it short and sweet
most gurus are looking for ddr2 that overclocks well and doesnt break the bank.the short answer is micron d9gmh or d9gkx(most of us have heard about this stuff).being that d9gkx is very hard to find and very expensive.i will focus on d9gmh 2gb kits.
if your looking to overclock your shiny new processor.micron d9s are the only way to go.all of the following modules are VERIFIED micron d9gmh and will achieve very near the same speeds and timings with proper voltage.these are some of the best deals i could find.i do not claim that all are equal.simply that they "should" get near the same ocs.

this is a very comprehensive guide to d9 modules http://ramlist.ath.cx/ddr2/

for those just getting started in the quest for ocing immortality.make it a point to go thru the overclocking stickies. itll make your life alot easier.
one final note as suggested by our resident ram guru Wildstyle some tips for lengthening the lifespan of your coveted micron ics.try to stay below 2.2v for 24/7 use.your ram will thank you for it.
overvolting your ram can be just as harmful as cranking the voltage up on your cpu or gpu.to avoid doing damage to your memory it is highly recommended you actively cool it.whether your overvolting or not.a quick and easy method to keep your mighty d9s comfy is to mount a 80mm fan or grab a memory cooler online.there arent many but these are all solid choices.

if i have failed to list a solid d9 deal please let me know so it can be added.

Crazy deal on some awesome DDR2-1066 ram. Rebate may be a bit large for some, but if you get it then this is a downright awesome deal. Not sure if it's D9, but with those speeds it probably won't matter. $50 cheaper than the DDR2-1000 Ballistix at Newegg.

Ability to run a 500+ FSB at 1:1 w/o OCing the ram? And for under $150 shipped? Unreal

And here's another great deal on some DDR2-800 Ballistix:

http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=202541818&adid=17662

$100 shipped after $40 MIR as of this posting. $60 cheaper AR than at Newegg.

 

wow!that is a sweet deal man!that stuff is ocing like mad at xs!Roger is getting ready to nab a set,i sure hope he sees this before he hits the buy button!crucials rebate system is absolutely top notch btw.the moment they recieve the rebate info they email you a status link with a eta for the check.so no worries with getting your money.just be sure to send everything they require
that 6400 is a badass deal too!i may be picking up a couple of sets for a dude at ocf lol.hes in Canada so he cant get it

 

For the DDR2-1066 kit, there are at least 100 left in stock at Newegg, so he should have time to see this deal before they go OOS.

 

you can also find them on ewave and ewiz without rebate also were i got mine
PriceGuideNetwork.com

 

man that is such a tempting buy!id love to be able to hit 600 for once!i cant get either of my 8000s to go beyond 580!

 

lol maxfly this stuff hits 600 EASY it benchs well over my cellshocks 2.2 max on cellshocks is 550 max on ballistix is 566 i will find max with 1.9v 600 easy i bet

 

argh you just had to tell me that didnt cha!lol im very very seriously contemplating putting my 8000s up for sale already!

 

ill put mine up with you ?? we can have mini price war

 

hehe tbh i already have a buyer for one set!lol im just not sure i want to get rid of them

 

i got a set of 8500 if you wanna buy them ??

 

hehe your gonna get us in trouble man!the eggs price is just too good to beat dude!
edit:this is killing me man!ive smoked half a pack of cigs just sitting here with my finger hovering over the buy button lol.Momo you wanna remind me again what yours did?

 

525 4.4.4.12 2.2v stable as could be 550 crashed @ some points like 80% on both sticks so had to bumb to 2.25

 

im doin it.i dont care if the gf kills me or not.i just cant stop checking out the results their getting at xs with this stuff!
i may or may not post results when i get them.it all depends on the gfs tirade...shiver.someone pass my rig on to a worthy cause if i dont make it.

 

im put up all my memory tonght lol

 

keyrist man thats like what 10 sets?

 

na i let my friend barrow some lol 4 gigs and 2 gig of bufflo died and sent back to newegg and got refundd lol i got like 7 around me atm

 

I've been completely out of the memory loop for months. How is it to run 4x1GB? Sort of tempting to get another 2GB for Vista.

And what D9 are these: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-090-CR&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=813

Found these here very cheap.
