I would go for the 998691 Redlines, 6-7-6-18 1T @ DDR3-1600, and they usually overclock nicely.

Let me know if you need settings to get you going.

I got the memory from UPS yesterday late afternoon, installed this installed this AM. I put in your suggested settings of 6 7 6 18 1N QPI at 1.325 and Dram at 1.64 19*200 running at 3.8 GHz and memory is running at 1603, something my old memory would not do with a dram of 1.64. With the old memory I had to run the Dram at 1.70 to get to 1603MHz

Truly this memory is outstanding I get a Windows index of 7.9 out od 7.9 for the memory truly outstanding

Have a good day and thanks for helping me

Sean I have question concerning this new memory, What ate the highest MHZ you have seen on these sticks and what were the QPI/Dram settings

I very recently bought this set of memory MUSHKIN Redline Ascent 6GB(3x2GB) 240-pin XP3-12800 DDR3-1600MHz, (6-7-6-18) Triple Channel Kit (998692) and have finally built my i7 920DO system

Now the problem I'm having is this memory absolutely refuses to even boot with the specified timmings it won't even post at any voltage from 1.5 to 1.66 volts at that speed or lower at those timmings but it runs perfectly fine at 8,8,8, 20 at 1.64 volts at 1600 mhz. The motherboards a Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 and I'm running F7 bios. The newer bios says nothing about ram fixes only temperature fixes and is beta anyways.


What gives or is their a glitch with that board and tight timmings?

Lowest timings

Sean, I was wondering what is the lowest timings yo have seen on someone using the Mushkin Redlines 6 7 6 18 which as you know are the normal timings is it possible to tighten the timings even more ? :)

So when should I start worrying about the second attempt at my rebate? Three more months and it will be a year...

Well, exactly one year since the rebate period and six months after I started the follow-up, I got a $20 check directly from Mushkin. Thank you Sean.

I posted on the Conroe865PE thread, but in retrospect it might not have been the right place. I've decided to break this board out of retirement for use as a Windows Home Server. I currently have 2x1GB XP-4000 (DDR-500) that I already ran rock solid on this board before. Since I want to have as little lag as possible (due to pairing up with large green drives), I'd like to add another 2x1Gb set. I'll be underclocking the RAM, since I'm using an 800Mhz FSB CPU, so will I be ok just leaving the VDIMM and NB voltages at normal, or will the addition of a second set cause me to have to raise voltages a bit?

i am unsure what the maximum amt of ram you can use on a x58 system but I believe it's 12GB meaning occupying all 6 slots with 2GB sticks.

On my Board If I use 12800 memory I can only install 6 gig three 2 gig sticks of 1600MHz according to the manual it says I can only install due to Intel definition DDR-3 1600 are supported for 1 DIMM per channel. The Manual then goes on to say ASUS exclusively provides 2 DDR 3 -1600 DIMM Support for each memory channel
Does this mean on an ASUS Board I can fill the other channel with 3 more sticks of redline memory that matches what I have now to get 12 gig of memory

I currently am running three 2 gig sicks in DIMM Slots A1 B1 and C1.
I know there are plans to make 4 gig sticks as the MB I have will support up to 24 Gig of Memory

Are there any manufactures making individual 4 gig sticks compliant with Intel specs for a 1366 MB ?

Yes you can put 12GB of Redlines in your mobo, I've have a number of people doing it with great success. All the x58 mobos seem to have very little difficulty with 12GB.

If you do go with 12GB I do recommend that you direct a fan at the ram to help with cooling or get one of those clip on style ram coolers with fans in them.

Your not seeing a lot of 4GB sticks right now because they are mega $
When the price gets more reasonable we'll have them. :)

I'm still interested to know what you'd replace my 1150mhz DDR2 sticks with....I just dont want to send them in for RMA to get back some 1066mhz sticks.... :eek:

Sorry, thought you already sent them in for RMA.
I just asked the office and they said the closest thing they have now is a 2x1GB kit of CAS 5 1066. Unfortunately they no longer make the ICs for the 1150ram that you have. :(

I just cant be sending them in for 1066mhz modules that are nowhere near the same as these. :(


You have nothing even similar to these??

Thank you I am going to wait as I just got my new redlines about 3 weeks ago, plus they are the ones with heat spreaders so I may have difficult time placing another 3 in the board. I can live with 6 gig of memory. I will wait on the 4 gig sticks by the time te come out with a decent price I most likely will have new system in mind.

I suppose I could get the 998691 they should fit with the 988692 stick I have in board

What IC's do the 1066mhz modules feature??

I assume these 1150mhz sticks I have are GKX?

Company policy is to not discuss IC's
What I can tell you is that most of those sticks top out at 1120 - 1140.

You should be ok with the vDIMM at normal, you'll probably need to bump up the NB voltage to help the NB stabilize 4 DIMMs.
