    Micron: Who cares?

     

    really ? this is actually something i was hoping for since other mobos don't have one (profile/slew ),i guess GB is not interested in having one advantage over "other" boards

    UD5H or UD5H..jk all this boards are great ,i have UD5H,UP7,M5G and i just recently sold OCF which i enjoyed very much,out of all of them i would say UD5H is the best bang for your buck and very nice 24/7 board and then some ,for RAM clocking i use M5G and UP7 will go under cold but needs more time for bioses to mature ,..couldn't keep OCF as it was just to bulky but the board was great

    Gskill F3-18400CL8D-4GBPIS (XMP seems to work with tWCL 7 ,tested with x22/x24 and x26 C8-12-8 feels better then the last beta)

     

    P.S. can someone please try Patriot Viper II Sector 5 2400MHz 9-11-9-27 (PVV34G2400C9K)

    didn't have much time (threw in the towel) ..can't post XMP@1200... tWCL 7 or 8 lol,no problem on the other MB running 4 banks with the same settings as 4Gb here

    BIOS F5g

     

    G.skill Pis F3-17600cl7d-4gbpis ( good all the way to 1200C7-11-7 tWCL 8 tho)

    G.skill Pis F3-18400cl8d-4gbpis (i was able to run them somehow @1300C8-12-8 on UD5 [bios- F15o ] but not on UP7 F5g

     

    Both sets can't run XMP

    51 error - CAS 8 a must in order to boot sets iso CAS 7 from XMP

     

    P.S. F5o on UP7 is terrible for me (bios settings won't stick )

    after reading about all this Malay,Costa Rica chips i think this is appropriate to post;

    http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=750461

    I posted it this in the mammoth Northwood thread, and Wingz posted it in GH. I thought I'd post it once more just for the extra exposure.

     

     

    Just to clear something up, the markings on the back of the CPU refer to the packaging site - not the manufacturing site of the actual silicon chip itself. Intel has no fabs in either Malaysia or Costa Rica, they are packaging facilities. The silicon die/chips are manufactured elsewhere in the world and are shipped to either of these two packaging sites. In addition, Intel manufacturing has a goal of running a "virtual fab" - meaning that, among other things, products from one fab are statistically indistinguishable from those manufactured at another fab. So even if, for example using fake names, Malaysian packages used chips only from fab #1 and packages marked Costa Rica use chips from fab #2, there should be no difference statistically between these two.

     

    I saw these discussions back in the Celeron days, and I commented back then, but this time around it seems a little different. I have started seeing some online retailers charging more for parts from a specific packaging site and this disturbs me. There is no difference between parts from these two packaging sites. Just as you can have 6 head/tails coin tosses come out heads, there may seem to be a correlation that heads is more likely than tails, but there isn't. In reality the odds are still approximately 50/50.

     

    The silicon is what defines the speed of a CPU, not the package. And the silicon comes from multiple fabs scattered all over the place that are all supposed to be identical anyway.

     

    If you are considering spending more, or buying from a shadier vendor, in order to get a specific package, I would urge you to reconsider. There is no difference and you are only wasting money, and or risking getting ripped off.
