on nf7s @ 2.9v fsb 250 gets me in windows but not stable. it posts up to 260 (haven't tried higher yet). what would be good relaxed timings i could try?

how about 3-2-3-6 ?

mcoleg · Jun 18, 2004

for nf7s at high fsb?

hmm, k, 2-3-2-6, thanks man, i'll try that.

Sentential · Jun 18, 2004

With 2.9v I can get 240 (3-2-2-11) and 246 (3-2-3-11)

However keep in mind that 246 is my *CHIPSET'S LIMIT*, and may not reflect the RAM itself.

flapperhead · Jun 18, 2004

wow thats nice...

mcoleg · Jun 19, 2004

what would you guys recommend for 260 fsb ?

i put that stick in my ai7 setup... hope to burn it in at 3.2v ai7 puts out. mt-5c + ch5 dual channel. same fsb speed as in sig., 5:4 ratio gets me memory speed of 218. timings 2.5-2-2-7. not too bad...

still, i expected a bit more from this stick on my nf7. at 250 it bluescreens under load. i've tried bunch of timings and still no go. m/b this particular stick is not that great? or maybe it's because it has different modules on each side, one 0404 and the other 0352?

If you haven't already ordered the Buffalo with Micron, take your time as they are sold out for now. It will be noteworthy if they are able to restock, or not. Is it the end of this product or is this a temporary outage?

mcoleg,

I don't have as much experience as these other guys, but yours are the first sticks that I've run across with different mfg. dates, until I ran across a review later last night on some Crucial with the same chips and these sticks in the review also had chips with different dates on them. Why would they do that? Wouldn't it just be common sense to use chips from the same run?

mcoleg · Jun 19, 2004

not sure man, but Tony got the same thing - two dif. chip types on two sides. i must say, even if using it on my nf7 won't pun out, i'll just use it on ai7; ch5 seems to like it's company

.

btw, got a link to that reveiw?

Well, it looks like the Crucial is also out of stock at newegg.

The review I refered to above was one that I came across doing a Google search on Micron. Overall, it was a crappy review and I did not save a link to it. Sorry.

On the newegg page for the Crucial ram there are links under the "Resources" heading to various reviews and there is another review also at DevHardware. The newegg page is linked below.

This is also Crucial ram at newegg and it is in stock. There are no links under "Resources" to this one however. The one above (prior post) that is not in stock does have links and in those articles, the pictured ram is the one that we are all interested in so I don't know which one this uses. Sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

thanks Reefa

crucial.com still has the CT6464Z40B chips (the ones sold out at newegg), they're a little more ($96.99), but they have them, i think..

Thanks for the link. Right now, it looks like ZZF ($93 - see below) and Crucial are the best places to find this stuff. I have seen it at other online vendors and at the retail shops, but the prices are much higher.

I'm waiting for the "message" about future availability that will be made if and when newegg restocks. If they restock, then obviously the supply line is still intact. The reverse will send alot of people scrambling to these other, higher priced sources.
