Cas 6 8Gb (2x4GB)

Hi,
I am running at Cas 6 now with the new memory. Unlike the original 4GB I had burnt the SPD to Cas 6 there is no significant change in the speed of the system. DPP still takes 10 minutes and 45 seconds to convert 136 RAW files to JPG. SuperPI 4m still 1 min 45 seconds. 3DMark06 CPU went from 4,423 to 4,535.

I did notice the CPU load on boot seems to run at 100% slightly shorter. Other than a slightly, and I mean slightly, snappier feel there seems to be no apriciable difference. Other than the installation that is.

These sticks have thick heat spreaders. So much so the just barely fit. Even to the point the first attempt was a no go but reversing the sticks gave it just enough room. The top and bottom heat spreaders are firmly pressed together to get these in.

In all I would not recomend these for our systems for the fit reason alone. I just had to do it though. Now I'll get to live with them for a while........................

 

Adding some pics, for those still interested..............
