god knows what promo build is

 

[weepul]

promo build makes it sound cheap. wonder if it's better than their "value" ram.

//krunk (^_^x)

 

[kehi]

wish they had 512mb x 2 for sale

 

[KpocAlypse]

Picked up a while ago a "promo" build of cas 222 256meg PC133 chips. Still work..

Also you CAN use the code "Anand" for 10% off. If it does not show up at cart call them back and have it added. I got 1g (2x 512) 3200 2:2:2 for $162 shipped last weekend. The guy from muskin told me these were HighPerf. chips that were build on green PCB by mistake. Hope he was right!

yup, i jumped on that 1gb Hi Perf 2 3200(2x512) too. Called back and applied 10% off, and the total was $162 with free s/h. (reg. price for one 512mb stick of this ram is $149, so 2x = $298)
$162 vs $298 = w00t,

btw anyone using this ram with a7n8x delue rev 2 400fsb?
thanks

Yea I would like to know if they work fine in the deluxe board too since I will also be building a new comp with the two 512 promo sticks in them.

Can't Wait to try them out... Mine shipped out today (I guess most of them did today) so good luck!

Original Thread

if u want to look at the discussion on this ram from before

 

[classy]

I ordered some and talked with them a bit. They are Winbond -5 chips. He said these don't have the same oc'ing ability of the Blackline, duh. He didn't say if they were CH or BH chips. But being Winbond -5 chips is a good thing.

 

[tracerbullet]

From further in the site - A 512MB stick of "Promo Build" has on the page:

"Great entertainment - Watch it morph from black to blue! Built with a thermochromic sticker on the heatspreader. Limited quantity."

Interesting.

Yeah, I want 2 sticks of 512 2-2-2 for cheap also!!!

 

[Pugnax]

ordered 2x256 good deal with the ANAND coupon

 

[classy]

Well I got mine today. Stuck a stick in and Sandra reports it as 222 6 to 400 mhz. Unfortunately I have a KX7 333 that just isn't liking overclocking my 1700 DLTC. So I am going to order a better board or whole new Intel setup tomorrow. But I can say I think this is some good stuff. Interesting though is the fact mine are green pcbs but black heat spreaders. Makes you wonder.

Missed the 512mB sticks. Ordered 2 256mB sticks, $95.10 shipped. Hopefully I'll be able to reach at least 185 fsb w/ the A7N8X deluxe 1.04. The PNY/Samsungs 256mB sticks are holding me back @ 169 fsb.

Running this build at anything below 200 is not O/Cing

Also, if you plan on running this build on a Springdale board, you might have to back off with the timing. According to Anand not even the Corsair XMS 3200LL would run at 200 2-2-2.

 

[Nessism]

Just ordered the 2x256 promo. Mushkin makes good stuff and 400 mhz at 2-2-2 seems like enough for me. Now what nForce2 board to choose?

I have Corsair XMS TwinX 2x256 PC3200 running at 200 at 2-2-2. It's working fine for me.

Nice to hear that. If you're overclocking, what the highest stable FSB? CPU speed & settings? I'd like to get at least 2400 MHz w/ the 2100+TBred B. I'm expecting to get the chips delivered on Tuesday via Fedex.
