Crucial, best are probably FD5, FD3 go pretty good

Yep its on the small rectangle sticker not all go great although all my FD3 do over 600 easily.

You're always better off with Crucial 1066 kits anyway. There's literally nothing on the market better than those once you start getting into the higher frequencies. Every other PCB just seems to sorta shit the bed pushing above 1200. I have 8 Sticks of Crucial Ballistix 1066 and none can get above 560. Is there a special serial-number range to catch those elusive D9s? From all of my 15 DDR2 kits (1066 / 1100 / 1150 and 1200s) the G.Skill PIs were the best yet. How many kits do you guys bin to get beyond 600? Literally all of my kits easily did over 600, in fact some can do 600 4-4-4-12 if given enough juice. The worst 1066 kits of mine validated at 740MHz too so my only guess is that you're getting the 4GB kits or single sided 2GB kits? 16FD3 or 16FD5 is what you want for both 800 and 1066 kits.

They are 2GB, the only 4GB I have are the G.Skill PIs. Are your numbers from cold or ambient? Sounds incredible to me to achieve that. I have 2x dual sided kits, but they are the worst. One doesn´t even work at all above 400. My best ones so far were single sided Ballistix Tracers. I´ll hunt for 16FD3/5 next. Seems like they are the only ones to consider. And before anyone asks, yes I do adjust GTLs, yes I do try different voltages and straps. EDIT: Just checked again, the dual sided Kit that does not want to work at all is a 16FD3.

My numbers are ambient. I have taken them cold before and had a dual channel kit running 840 5-5-5-15 with 2.3v!!! It just wasn't very stable on the NB BTW some of these kits have no cold bug, others CB before -50, just luck of the draw I guess. But those that go full pot seem to have amazing scaling! You just need a motherboard which will cooperate with you which isn't always easy. Edit : There's some which I sold recently on the tread below with voltages and 32M testing etc

Jsut resurrected a GTX 970 that had been dead for over a year at least. Bought it to fix since it was cheap and I figured it may be salvageable and it was. Took some parts from another one that's truly dead and soldered them on last year but it didn't work.
Tonight I was looking at it and spotted something else, had to try it and that did the trick. Will have to do some testing but I believe it's gonna be OK.

No but it was pins up and it did not feel amazing Luke (Sparkey247) took his finger nail off with one of those old school tornado fans years ago. I met the finger chopper yesterday as well, it was not a good benching day for me, took maybe a half mm or so off the tip of my thumb and the blade lodged in the wall. But at lease I got my tax return back yesterday so I have that going for me.

I recently measured the exact length of a fan header pin with the underside of a fingernail. It nearly went all the way down, thank god it stopped at 4/5th the way...

Not today but, had a 1TB external _backup_ USB hard disk, with its own power supply. Was doing some maintenance work on my laptop, had the disk hooked up to it on the table and a wall socket and running. Had to go and check something, dodged the power supply cable. OK. Came back to the table in a haste, the moment the cable touched my leg I already knew, SH_T, F_CK! Hard disk made a good thump on the floor. Tried whether it made the landing safely, tick-tick-tick. Nope. Fortunately had my stuff "distributed" on other computers so I managed to re-backup 99,9% of meaningful stuff from them. Replaced the 1TB Seagate with a Samsung disk in the USB case. "case closed" lol

Well..... I did it again. This time it was the board I had ordered to rob the CPU socket from. The fleabay listing said it woudn't power up or anything so I figured it would be good for that. Got it in and inspected the board, looked VERY good and was just curious about it so went to test it by doing a simple test setup. Dropped my 2700x in with some spare flares I had and did a setup. It lives.
So far it's worked fine with nothing funny about it to make a note of. Mind you this was just testing it without an OS or anything, just the basics of the CPU, RAM, GPU and letting it run. Now I'm like "Dammit", would really suck to just rip it apart now.
Since it's actually useable for a low powered daily, just need to find a good little 35W APU chip to run it with and should be fine for that use.

I know what you mean, happened to me also. Tomorrow I have another surprise i3 box coming in, supposedly dead, with 5 beeps, AMI Aptio BIOS. If I get it working, fine, see to that then. Otherwise it will be a parts unit.

May just rob the socket from it anyway. I really don't need to chase another one around, store it and so on. TBH I can pop a cheaper APU chip in this setup too and come out.
At least I know the socket on that board is good and if I happen to spot a truly dead one later I can always do the same with it and get it going again if I have to. If I do try to track down another dead board that would have me sitting on 5 AM4 boards total and I don't need that many just hanging around.
Will think about it and chances are I may well go ahead and use the board for what I intended it for anyway.

Would think it is a tricky job to replace an AM4 socket in a board. How do you do it? Reflow station?
Turned out the i3 LGA1155 desktop I picked up is alive, took it apart, gave it a quick clean and put it together. POSTed fine. From the looks of it, it has a very low mileage. It was lacking a hard disk so put in an SSD for testing.

Already ordered two sockets, one for now, one as a spare. Had a time trying to find them but managed to. They will be here next month or so since it seems they all come from China. george I have an IR station to do it with.

Ouch man! Maybe there's a way to revive it if you can identify the problem it has.
Got my sockets in to get the AM4 board going again so I have a little something to do during all this virus crap. Only thing right now is to come up with a good tip to do the desoldering/use the soldering braid with and I can modify a tip for that easily. I've got a few of them so that shouldn't be a problem to do. I'll have to check the new station and see if it has the tip in it first.
Made sure I got a spare socket for "Just in case" - You never know.
If not I'll do what I must, then get busy with it.

I've got two dead ones. First was a pos that has a short on vcore. My good rex has no issue I can diagnose. All voltages are present and all resistances are in line with what they should be and I already checked the two remaining Fujitsu caps.
