    I'm not sure if it's because of this IMC or what, but I have had crazy scaling on most sticks, 2V+ easy on all so far and with the right settings even scaling 2.1V+, 2.2V+, and at least booting even 2.3V on some sticks (a mediocre 2000C9 Trident booted 2.33V!), with normal ambients and auto VTTDDR.

    Finished binning my PSC a little while ago and I feel I should clarify this -- high voltage scaling on PSC is just a matter of the settings you run. Roughly speaking, running tight but with loose tRCD gives the most voltage headroom. Sticks that take 2.2, 2.3, and even 2.5V are the exception, not the norm (and usually suck anyway :D). I will make a post in more detail at some point.

    Binning IMC for Samsung (Rev.D) is much much easier. Probably 90% of my chips I tested (all G3258?) passed 2800c9 no problem so I decided it wasn't worth doing.

    Quick binning at 2800C9 isn't enough, evidently. I'm currently working on rebinning with my PSC binning chip and, aside from better voltage across the board as is to be expected with a better quality IMC, high frequency (2800++) voltage scaling is dramatically better, 100mV+ lower in some cases versus the poor quality 4670K I used some time ago. Naturally binning stringently is always better (though, you know, having some validation that your goals are realistic is always the problem), I would bet some kind of 2850+, 2900+ metric for IMC binning is a better idea.

    (Though, technically, this IMC would have failed my Samsung binning, it needs +0.3 IOD for 2800+, unlike with PSC)

    What PCB do the cursed Samsung use?

    B83U854, 4x. They do not POST in Z97 but will POST and OC fine on 990FX if inserted into certain slots, in a certain order, posting in between each stick insertion. But they do work! Not sure that would apply at all here, but just thought I would mention it.

    Did you try and clean the contacts for that pi’s? That can give issues. Even when they seem to be clean. 

    Yep, I clean contacts and slots regularly.

    I was just wondering what cooling was used for binning those G3258. 
    Stock, water or advanced air? 

    240mm AIO, in brief tests should be almost the same as strong air.

     

    Post updated, all listed G3258s spoken for, I might have one more I can add.

    From how much were these G3258's binned? 

    Edit: And where would they come from? 

    Located in US. From my 52 samples these are "above average", good for 5.0 but no 5.1. (Outside my own testing I have seen many many worse chips.)

  5. [READ: All items are located in the US. All prices include domestic US shipping; international shipping requires a quote, usually add 26 USD to the list price. Bundle deals can be made for the purchase of multiple items. All items have been tested on a Z97 OC Formula test platform, with SET voltage values reported. I do my best to link as many screenshots as possible. As always, YMMV! I will not guarantee that I can do any additional testing, or that you will be able to replicate every result exactly.]

    SOLD:

    Spoiler

    Some above average G3258s from a few dozen that I binned:

    1. Pentium G3258, batch 3418B967. Does 4.5 1.20V, 5.0 1.5V 32M. IMC does 1375 8-12-8 1.92V channel A 8M on PSC (no 32M due to stick limit). Price: $20 SOLD

    2. Pentium G3258, batch 3422B337. Does 4.5 1.10V, 4.9 1.28V, 5.0 1.47V 32M. Dice: 5.5 R15 at 1.55V or less, 2.3VIN. Price: $20 SOLD

    3. Pentium G3258, batch X518C495. Does 4.5 1.18V, 4.9 1.35V, 5.0 1.44V 32M. Price: $20 SOLD

    4. Pentium G3258, batch 3412B733. Does 4.5 1.19V, 4.9 1.34V, 5.0 1.44V 32M. Dice: 5.5 R15 at 1.55V or less, 2.3VIN. Price: $20 SOLD

    5. Pentium G3258, batch 3418B976. Does 4.5 1.17V, 4.9 1.34V, 5.0 1.43V 32M. IMC does 1375 8-12-8 1.92V channel A 8M on PSC (no 32M due to stick limit). Price: $20 SOLD

     

    Some decent value PSC.

    6. Apacer Value 2GB ("XEJ-"): My best value stick. Does 1200MHz 7-11-7 tCWL8 1.68V, 1200MHz 7-11-7 tCWL6 and 6-11-7 tCWL8 1.91V, 1300MHz 8-12-8 tCWL6 1.86V, 1333MHz 8-12-8 tCWL6 1.96V. (Note: 1333 tRCD12 only seemed to work when setting tCWL6.) Price: $5 free, just pay shipping

    7. ASint Value 2GB ("XEE-"): Does 1200MHz 7-11-7 tCWL8 1.75V, 1300MHz 8-12-8 tCWL6 1.92V. Price: SOLD ELSEWHERE

    8. Transcend Value S/N 7254 1GB ("XEN"): Does 1200MHz 7-11-7 tCWL8 1.80V, 1300MHz 8-12-8 tCWL6 1.96-7V. Price: SOLD ELSEWHERE

    9. Transcend Value S/N 8230 1GB ("XEN"):  Does 1200MHz 7-11-7 tCWL8 1.75V, 1300MHz 8-12-8 tCWL6 1.90V. Price: SOLD ELSEWHERE

     

    10. Pentium G3258, batch X619D536. Does 4.5 1.17V, 4.9 1.37V, 5.0 1.45V 32M. IMC does 1375 8-12-8 1.92V channel A 8M on PSC (no 32M due to stick limit). Price: $20 SOLD

    11. Injured F3-17600CL7D-4GBPIS. I bought this kit a couple of years ago or so, my first good kit of PSC.

    • When working they did 1333MHz 8-12-7 tCWL6 tight ~1.92V 32M, S/N 1086 did 1400MHz 8-13-8 ~2V but the IMC could not handle PSC very well, hence subtimings. I still have never found a kit as tRP-strong -- 1200MHz tRP6 32M stable, 1300MHz tRP6 1M, 1333MHz tRP6 bootable. (I found images of 1300 8-12-6 single channel 1M, 1333 8-12-6 single channel CPU-Z.)
    • Long story short, there is most likely eraser stuck in some BGAs. As I recall, one stick will not POST at all (maybe it will on a more forgiving platform -- I have had "dead" samsung work on AMD), one will barely do more than JEDEC. Maybe they can be cleaned up and restored to working order. Price: $30 $25 $20 $15 SOLD

A really unique kit: KO-8155 PCB, ICs are the earliest I have ever seen with 0843 date, and -AE-F JEDEC bin -- very rare, nearly all BBSE is -DJ-F. Not special on air but PCB suggests cold potential. Price: SOLD ELSEWHERE. (ALTHOUGH I DID NOT KNOW THIS AT THE TIME OF SALE, THIS KIT IS ACTUALLY REFLASHED WITH A KINGSTON SPD. THE ORIGINAL P/N WAS AVANTIUM AED34G2133HC9DC.)

    41. G.Skill Trident F3-12800CL7D-4GBTDS (2 sticks). PSC. ST-SG38U816 PCB. A really weird kit. 1600 7-7-7 PSC is a rare find, and the behavior is unlike any other PSC I've had. Although not a low-voltage kit, the tRCD voltage tolerance is pretty hilarious. Price: SOLD ELSEWHERE

    Over the last couple of years, I have binned 338 sticks of PSC/BDBG through extremely thorough and careful testing, retesting, and re-retesting. As much as I want to keep every stick with interesting properties, I need to pare down the collection and move onto other things in the world of OC. Below are some of the best kits that I have found with a few useful results.

    I have done almost all of my testing on ambient, but I would not be surprised if some of these sticks turned out to be very nice on cold.

    Here's a teaser for what I think is the most interesting part about these sticks ;):

     

    The following kits are from mismatched kits; they have matching PCBs and similar OC behavior. This includes most of my very best DDR3-1600 bin sticks, of which I binned 100.

    55. G.Skill Ripjaws 1600C7 x3 / F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM. ST-SG38U816 PCB. [$75 $65 SOLD]

    59. G.Skill Pi 2000C9 / F3-16000CL9D-4GBPIS. KO-8117 PCB. [$20 $15 $10 SOLD]

    My last 2000C9 Pi out of the 3 sticks from coolhandluke41. If I remember correctly, this stick was binned by Splave, who spoke very highly of his 2000C9 Pi back in the day. Despite the standard bin, it's a rare model which I've only seen once or twice since.

    • 1200MHz 7-11-7-28 1.72V, 1300MHz 8-12-8-28 1.87V, 1333MHz 8-12-8-28 1.91-2V, 1400MHz 8-13-8-28 2.05V

    A rare 2133C9 1.5V bin stick, much much stronger than the 1.6V version. Decent tRCD despite voltage. Also useful as a PCB donor.

    • 1200MHz 7-11-7-28 tCWL8 1.76V, 1300MHz 8-12-7-28 1.89-90V, 1333MHz 8-12-8-30 1.97V, 1375MHz 8-13-8-28 2.04V.

     

    Some high bin MFR, the best IC for frequency validation.

    I contacted the seller to ask about those sticks last week and they did not reply to me. That said, maybe somebody not in the US will have better luck :)

    Please don't follow the urge to collect memory kits. Collectors are the plague of the benching community. Items made in low volumes are hard to find as they are, and people who let them fall apart in their drawers to satisfy their ego aren't exactly helping.

    Agreed. Personally, my "wishlist" isn't really "kits I want to hoard in trays", that's useless to me, more like curiosities. It's why I use the phrasing of "novelty"; would be interesting to have, but I'm not really one for collecting (despite my spamming of this apparent collector post). The only reason I have a lot of rarer kits is because I have to bin them still, but I only intend to keep a handful around once all is said and done.

  8. No particular interest, I do ultimately want to get my hands on one of each IC (since it's hardly unprecedented for enthusiasts to discover a random IC that's actually useful, see Samsung 1Gb G), but I have a Pi Black 2000 9-9-9 kit of it. It was actually an accident, I didn't even notice they were 1GB sticks until I got them.

    Freegeek, I assume? That is a good deal, I myself got a lot of 2000-2200 sticks from them a while ago, haven't tested all of the sticks but the 2000 Ripjaws I got in that lot turned out to be excellent.

    Whether the blacklines are GT depends on the part number, I nabbed a kit of those when I was just getting into DDR3 and was a bit disappointed to find out they were JN. To be fair, I didn't actually pull the spreaders, but they weren't any good.

    Kingston also depends on the P/N: 2000C9D = 9-9-9 BBSE, 2000C9AD = 9-11-9 BDBG or BFBG, depending on production date.

    My wishlist was also enormous, but, well, with a lot of time, money, and patience, now the number of kits I have is enormous :D (a bit too enormous...)

    Never heard of that one... I thought the 2400c8 pis were the best for g.skill

    Well, shoot, now I have to talk about my favorite subject, insane (near-)vaporware bins. At least, my understanding of some.

    Near-vaporware (extremely limited):

    • F3-19200CL8D-4GBPIS, 2400C8 Pi. Very good bin, source of some of the best air results I've ever seen (though I believe the particular kit I'm thinking of, which TaPaKaH had at the time, hated cold; air isn't everything), but I've seen kits that were merely "pretty good". Apparently was retail but I don't think there were more than like a dozen kits.

    • F3-19200CL8Q-8GBZHD, 2400C8 Ripjaws Z, same deal as the Pi. Some insane sticks, very limited. As far as I know it was only quad kits, so that doesn't help things.

    1074351343_2400c8ripjaws.thumb.jpeg.0bd4ed4dd9996d338f9a3defb88a59ed.jpeg

    • F3-20000CL9D-4GBTDS, 2500 9-11-9 1.65V PSC. Found in an OC3D review. I would guess this exact spec didn't go retail, or if it did, insanely limited.

    • F3-20000CL9D-4GBTDS, 2500 9-11-11 1.65V PSC. The only results I have a link to are from Hiwa, he claimed they were a retail purchase and sold out immediately. If some of those results truly were done with memory on air, that kit of his was golden.

    • F3-20800CL8D-4GBPIS, 2600 8-11-8 1.65V PSC. The "3" and "4" on the PCBs in the picture make me think there were at least two kits...

  9. Some high bin and/or rare kits I own:

    • D9GT - Corsair Dominator CM3X1024-1800C7DIN (1800 7-7-7 2V) - Definitely not as rare as the CM3X2048 version but one of the best bins
    • Hyper - Corsair Dominator GT CMG6GX3M3A2000C7 (2000 7-8-7 1.65V)
    • Hyper - SuperTalent Project X WX200UX6G7 (2000 7-7-7 1.65V) - A very aggressive XMP, though not sure on actual quality
    • BBSE - G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-17000CL8D-4GBXMD (2133 8-9-8 1.65V)
    • BBSE - G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-17600CL9D-4GBXMD (2200 9-9-9 1.65V)
    • BBSE - Kingmax Hercules FLKE85F-B8KHA (2200 10-10-10 1.5-1.7V) - I don't think they're all that great but it's quite a high frequency
    • BDBG - Kingston T1 KHX2250C9D3T1FK3/6GX (2250 9-11-9 1.65V), KHX2333C9D3T1FK3/3GX (2333 9-11-10 1.65V) and KHX2333C9D3T1K2/4GX (2333 9-11-9 1.65V) - high frequency Kingston bins, though not the highest
    • PSC - G.Skill Pi F3-16000CL7D-4GBPIS (2000 7-9-7 1.65V) - Nothing special quality-wise, but seem to be rare simply due to a lack of sales
    • PSC - G.Skill Pi F3-16000CL6D-4GBPIS and F3-16000CL6T-6GBPIS (2000 6-9-6 1.65V) - Very famous bin and was very popular back in the day due to the tight spec and some impressive kits found in this bin
    • PSC - G.Skill Flare F3-16000CL7D-4GBFLS (2000 7-9-7 1.65V) - The highest bin of Flares, which are quite rare since they were made for AMD
    • Rev.D - G.Skill Trident X F3-2666C10Q-16GTXD (2666 10-12-12 1.65V) - G.Skill's highest bin
    • Rev.D - Corsair Dominator Platinum CMD16GX3M4A2666C10 (2666 10-12-12 1.65V) - The single best retail bin1
    • 2Gb BFR - Corsair Dominator GTX8 CMGTX8 (2400 10-12-10 1.65V) - Useless for benching but a collector's item
    • CFR - Kingston "Overclocker's dream memory" (2800 12-14-14-32 1.65V) - ES, have changed hands a couple times as a "kit" of 4, I believe there are 8-10 total but somebody can correct me if there are more
    • MFR - G.Skill Trident X F3-2933C12D-8GTXDG (2933 12-14-14-35 1.65V) - High frequency MFR, though not G.Skill's highest

    Wishlist (retail or apparently retail; P.S. my PMs are open :P) :

    • D9GT - pretty much any well-binned 2GB sticks, they a bit harder to find than 1GB since it is such an old IC
    • PSC/Hyper - Corsair GTX1-6
    • Hyper - Adata Extreme Edition v2 AD32133F002GM(O)U3K - novelty mostly, very high voltage spec and seems to be extremely rare
    • BDBG - KHX2400C9D3T1FK2/4GX, Kingston's highest retail bin
    • PSC - pretty much any of the high frequency (over 2200) bins, whether for novelty or quality depends on the particular kit (F3-18400CL8D-4GBPIS, F3-19200CL8Q-8GBZHD, F3-19200CL8D-4GBPIS, F3-19200CL9D-4GBPIS, F3-20000CL9D-4GBTDS, PVV34G2500C9K, etc.)
    • PSC - F3-16000CL8D-4GBPIS - 2000 8-9-8 and not Corsair, lol, another case of seeming to be extremely rare simply due to a lack of sales. The one result I've heard was that it was garbage, but that won't stop me!
    • Various SKUs interesting for other reasons -- using weird ICs (very old 512Mb kits), kits with an IC not usually meant for that model (BBSE 2000 8-8-8), etc. And maybe other stuff, this was off the top of my head :)

    And, obviously, there are lot of special demo/ES/etc SKUs that would be cool to own, or other rare bins that I'm not sure went retail, but the likelihood of getting most nowadays is nearly zero.

    Side note - did anyone very recently grab some 2000 9-9-9 flares from ebay? If so were they X or T/R?

    Oh, I did buy some 2000 9-9-9 flares on the date of this post ? I have two kits, 1031 and 1039. They're pretty decent:

    In the worse 1039 pair, one stick is strong on tRCD (1100 6-9-6 8M, 1200 7-10-7 32M, 1300 8-11-8 32M), both are fine on voltage but not "strong."

    In the better 1031 pair (the one you're asking about), they're not quite so tRCD-strong (8M/1M 1300 tRCD11), but do pass 1333 8-12-8 tight at 1.86V which I was impressed with -- definitely my best 2000C9 at the time (though now I have found some very similar Ripjaws)

    I happened to see that you got some more patriots recently, hope they perform well for you :)

    T/R I don't think ever made it into 2000 9-9-9, only 2000 9-10-9, and the highest was 2200 9-11-9 as far as I know.

    (Also, just to be pedantic, the X/T/R system doesn't mean what "common wisdom" thinks it does ?. But that's a discussion for another time.)
