Mushkin Releases 996580X2 DDR2 Memory

btarunr · Dec 29, 2008, 07:14 PM

Mushkin today announced a new DDR2 800 MHz, 2x 2GB dual-channel memory kit, the XP2 series model 996580X2. The product targeted at the mainstream thru value segments. Mushkin adopted a simplistic product design which includes two modules without heatspreaders. The modules operate at voltages between 2 and 2.1V and DRAM timings of 4-4-4-12. The modules use an 8-layer black coloured PCB to reduce electronic noise. Mushkin plans to sell this kit for 46 to 49 Euros including taxes.

not too bad of a price wonder what chips they use. maybe it would be good for someone that doesn't overclock

cdawall · Dec 29, 2008, 07:17 PM

they will be ProMOS more than likely

so 900mhz maybe for 24/7. I would think this would be good for maybe someone who doesn't want to overclock the ram much. maybe a HTPC

cdawall · Dec 29, 2008, 07:34 PM

900? 1066 5-5-5-15 2.3v (ish)

thats not that bad then

i was thing 900 4-4-4-12 2.2-2.3v

cdawall · Dec 29, 2008, 07:38 PM

thats doable maybe even 1ghz 4-4-4-12 2.3ish

that maybe possible if you got some good ones. but i wouldn't want to run that voltage 24/7

promos are fine up to 2.4v 24/7

i didn't know that

I am just used to Micron running 2.2-2.3v 24/7

I agree judging by the voltage and speed. ProMOS chips are very popular for manufacturers currently.

makes me want to research RAM chips a bit more. Anyone got any info on PROMOS???

and can anyone tell me which chips these use???

your ram uses Promos,powerchip maybe D9s not for sure take a look here http://ramlist.i4memory.com/ddr2/

after looking again i am thinking promos
but because of OCZ's low voltage rating i am thinking Micron D9s

TheMailMan78 · Dec 29, 2008, 08:05 PM

DDR2 800 MHz ram is for the weak. 1066 or bust!

I'm looking into that, says micron d9 for chips produced before 2008. I bought these in the summer of 08

what kinda clocks do you get? If 1100+mhz @CL5 @2.2-2.3v then i think it would be D9s

kysg · Dec 29, 2008, 09:06 PM

I'll have to double check. never really did any work on the RAM but I'll give it a shot.

good D9's would give 1100 cas5 2.1v easy, however shit D9JLN wont do 1100

3xploit · Dec 29, 2008, 10:18 PM

they can't be d9gmh/d9gkx since d9gmh and d9gkx can only be 1gb sticks

only D9's they could be is HLN which suck. they are ProMOS

Cheers pos, Really useful link man

.

That ram looks good and if the pricing is right then even better mushkin is usually way out of my budget.

900? No way. I own OCZ XTC Rev. 2 ram and they are ProMOS as well, I oc'd them to 1002MHz before with some help and they seemed stable on most of my stress tests. So expect this memory to do better.

what timings and voltage bro? my OCZ Reapers have promos and 900/950 2.2v @ 4-4-4-10 24/7

PCpraiser100 · Dec 30, 2008, 12:28 AM

4-4-4-12, 2.25V. It wasen't stable enough for Crysis on some of its levels so I slowed down. If my next mobo won't support it, I'm rolling with either Mushkin or Corsair.
