Over the last few years I've tested something like 80-85 sticks of BH5. I usually start by checking the sticks individually for three passes of test #5 at 250-260-270-275-280-285-290 at 2-2-2-5, then match the sticks based on required voltage and voltage tolerance, and then proceed with testing 32M in OS at 250-260-270-275-280. So far, only six sticks out of the 80-85 would pass test #5 three times at 285 2-2-2-5 with any voltage (usually, 3.70-3.80V), and only two would do it at 290 2-2-2-5 (usually, 3.90-4.00V). The same sticks would do 32M at 275-280 2-2-2-5, usually around 3.70V. All of these are 256MB sticks. Best 512MB ones do around 280 for #5 and 270-275 for 32M.

Added some BH5, reduced X38 and X48 prices.

added two 630+ 32M, 1050+ IMC boards for socket 775

On the topic of shipping any payment insurances: As someone whose packing methods are somewhat praised in this thread, yet who had to multiple refunds this year alone, I can say that unless you record (with a video, or via an independent witness) the whole process of packing and handing the item over to the shipping company and the recipient does the same in the opposite direction - any successful shipping damage claim that you file against a courier is a result of their incompetence. The current practice, also actively advised by the big consulting firms I happen to work for, is to direct handling of all customer claims to a court (or some third party), where the customer will be very likely to dismiss their claim as (a) they have to provide proof that would exclude any other source of damage, (b) they would have to handle the legal fees unless themselves are a (wannabe) law practitioner (c) case handlers tend to be overloaded so hearings are scheduled many years after the precedent, when no one really cares anymore.

added a pair of 8500 Ballistix, half of which is dead

Vpll mod is "mandatory" if you want to push Wolfdales and Yorkfields (also low-cache ones) on FSB, Vcore mod is "mandatory" if you need more than 2.05 real Vcore. Other than that, a P5E3-Premium is pretty much a Swiss army knife.

I have a dead OCZ Blade 2000 7-8-7 stick with black PCB. Cheapest shipping to France is 4,35 Euros. Make me an offer

try harder :D http://valid.x86.fr/1422108

Both 2000C7 and GTX2 were sold within an hour of posting ... looks like I'm not the only one looking for Hypers Based on my personal records of 18 sticks of 2000C7, plus 15 sticks of GTX2, it seems that the latter are generally worse on tRCD limits, yet generally better on voltage. Of course, there are exclusions in both directions. For example, the 2000C7 I just sold needed much less volts than the other sixtreen 2000C7 sticks that I had, yet also had worse tRCD limits. But, let's be honest, in the benching ranges of Hypers (1050 6-7-5 and thereabouts) tRCD limits don't play a role and +/- 0.05V on the voltage isn't too critical. That's why I kind of stopped binning for lowest voltage (fact: the lowest memtest voltage Hyper stick that I ever had was sold in this thread, two out of three lowest memtest voltage Hyper sticks that I ever had were sold in this thread, 4 out of 6 lowest memtest voltage Hyper sticks that I ever had were sold in this thread) and focused on trouble-free experience with as many platforms as possible.

added Dominator GT 2000C7 and more GTX2

Not really. 9min32 is doable with same CPU and RAM clocks.

The clock readouts were pretty normal for me, cpu speed didn’t move by more than 1-2 mhz

Pretty average score, could be much better

Got a C5F and added some comparison results to this post: https://community.hwbot.org/topic/185674-am3-ram-oc/page/5/?tab=comments#comment-526287 I wasn't unexpected for me to see that board being 7-10s behind peloton at Deneb 4GHz 32M. What was unexpected is that the board tends to clock the CPUs noticeably worse than other boards. And this isn't only limited to Denebs - I am having similar issues with three Visheras as well, with difference being around 50MHz on suicide clocks. Did anyone ever compare Gigabyte's 9x0 boards and ASUS's C5F-boards for raw clocks?

added another i7-920

As it turns out, the RE has a broken (now: missing) pin in one of the RAM slots. Price reduced.

added i7-975 and two sticks of GTX2

How late is it? :D

added 8350K+M8I combo

added 2000C7 Dominator GT

Bump, some prices reduced.

Added a W3680

Added more B-die
