Are Theses Using D9's??

[kleinteich2]

Super Talent

the DDR2 Ram List Says they used all sorts of D9 IC's but the first on on the list for these stix say Promos.. i was looking for something new to play with and i wanted to see what all the D9 Hype was about a little while back..if anyone has purchased any of these lately and looked please tell me cause that would let me know that i still have a chance of them using D9's on these..

man those look like some kick a** ram chips dude, if only they were 2x2G i woulda bought some and let you know.. i found a set that was 2x2G but they dont have them sick timings of 4-4-3-8 they are only 5-5-5- something which is lame....

they should also make some pc2 8500's i woulda been allover them

[kleinteich2]

im thinking about taking my chances on getting these..

[Zanex09]

Kleinteich have you try'd these chips there bud?? i really curious about these

[kleinteich2]

lol. no not yet.. but i do believe these use the Promos.. i have seen a couple forum threads about these on some other sites and they have taken the heat spreaders off and they did show that they were Promos.. but then i have seen some that say they use D9GKX chips.. but the best bet is that they pulled a "Bait And Switch" on the D9GKX Users that found them.. it still is some certenly nice timings.. if i had to say, i bet they can pull 3-3-3-8 2T 400Mhz with somewhere around 2.2v - 2.3v and maby just maby you might be able to get 3-3-3-8 1T 400Mhz with 2.4 -2.5v(Sweet spot for any AMD), even if they r using Promo IC's.. i might get a set just for the hell of it..

[Zanex09]

[kleinteich2]

The older Ballistix were D9's. My son has a set of GSkill HZ's that are D9's that OC great! But he's burnt them up about 3 times so far....Thank God for Life time warrenty's!

yeah i really do not like Crucial for that.. i dont know what it is but now if they use any D9 chips and sell the stix, most people r burning them out in like 2 months at all stock and some undervolted..

Ya I agree..Crucials are like that. Just sent mine back, now they have a "New Low Voltage Chipset" they send you for replacement. Haven't pulled the Heatsinks off yet to see what chips their using now. But for me there just another extra set I have layen around. Have 5 sets of DDR2 at the moment. Cheap thrill's! Really like my Mushkins!!

most likely you want D9GKX chips but those chip are not worth much if you put them on a crappy PCB so the ideal Set of Ram Would be a set of D9GKX on a 8 Layer PCB..
