Transcend aXeRam Thread!

King Wookie · Mar 18, 2008

I'm probably asking a rhetorical question here, but I need to upgrade my sticks end of the month.

The 2 options I'm currently looking at are :

http://www.sybaritic.co.za/store/product_info.php?cPath=30_363&products_id=14659

I was thinking of going for option 1, based on past experience with Corsair, and they do look to have the better heatsinks.

Now you guys have me wondering again. :banghead:

An d pls don't give me Newegg links, as they don't ship here.

I'd get the Transcend. You're more likely to get D9s with them. Corsair has been using lesser ICs in some of their kits, even ones that were previously confirmed D9, are now not, even tho the kits will have the same part number.

And the heatsinks make little difference, if any.

mandelore · Mar 19, 2008

yup the transcend are confirmed D9's:

check the ram list ic page http://ramlist.ath.cx/ddr2/

PC2-8500 aXeRam TX1066QLJ-2GK 5.0-5-5-15 @ 2.1V Micron D9GMH (B6-3)

PC2-9600 aXeRam TX1200QLJ-2GK 5.0-5-5-15 @ 2.2V Micron D9GMH (B6-3)

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Mar 19, 2008

How can one tell if they are D9's?

Take off the heatspreaders and read the IC's.....Voids warranty also , I must say that!

Its the only certain way. I had some OCZ's that were reviewed as D9's , but when I pulled the spreaders i was greeted with a Qumonda IC, not Micron!

Cold Storm · Mar 20, 2008

Thats the worst part of things. At times it takes you to void the warr. in order to find out that you got "the different stuff" then you saw in the reviews. I guess you have to do what you have to do?

X800 · Mar 20, 2008

Got my axe memory today

So all i need is the cpu :toast:

nice1, just got an email from that shop in germany saying my ram is on the way. cant wait for them to arrive

then its review ahoy! already got my comparison data from these Evo-One stix.

mandelore · Mar 20, 2008

Would´t it kill the warranty if i take the heatspreders off ?
I dont want kill them before id have go with them.
I did go for an intel q9450 :rolleyes:

even if people say that they are not so god.
If hits 3600mhz im happy. :rockout:

DanishDevil · Mar 20, 2008

Yes, it would void your warranty. I would test them extensively before you did that. Or find a way to take off the heatspreader so they wouldn't know that you did...

He said just kidding.

And why would this void warranty?
If you remove them properly then there is no way they can tell.
Or it must have a sticker on it that rips when removing.

DanishDevil · Mar 20, 2008

I know Mandelore said jk, but X800 wanted to know.

My Geils don't have a sticker...well they do, just not anywhere that would rip off if I removed the HS's. I know of some that do, though. OCZ's usually do, covering the clips. I might pop mine off my Geil Esoteria.

I've opened my PSU multiple times, I just removed the sticker carefully. Alcohol and goo-gone are your friend

Same with Articlean. That actually works better, just don't dissolve the sticker.

X800 · Mar 20, 2008

There is no sticker.But the heatspreaders seem to quite tricky to take of not like hyperx memory that have clips just to pop of.

DanishDevil · Mar 20, 2008

Yeah, it looks like the center metal piece acts as the clip.

Good luck if you end up going for it!

Just leave it on.

DanishDevil · Mar 20, 2008

They're supposed to be confirmed D9s, but if I were you, I'd still take them off. I didn't even boot my new laptop until I took it apart

Surprised I haven't popped the heatspreaders on my RAM yet.

technicks · Mar 20, 2008

I really couldn't care less. Because you will know if they are good when you try them.

DanishDevil · Mar 20, 2008

Hehe true. But I'm a tinkerer.

infrared · Mar 20, 2008

Well get some, and tinker with it yourself

DanishDevil · Mar 20, 2008

Then buy some for me

Or buy some of my stuff. I'm broke now :cry:

None of that business is required.

Just go by the letter to the right of the barcode.

N = Micron
M = ProMoS
Y = Nanya
P = Powerchips
E = Elpida

WarEagleAU · Mar 23, 2008

I guess my 4x1GB modules are all Micron by that.
