Trial: Patriot Viper (2 x 1GB) 1150 (PC2 9200)

[18 is # 1]

Falling victim to the Egg's $39 (after MIR) lure, I ordered these Viper sticks:

Rated 1150 MHz running 5-5-5-12 @ 2.3v....sounds good...but
2.3v won't get you to 1050 MHz. I couldn't reach 1150 with 2.4v and 5-5-5-15.

Oh well, the Egg was good enough to take them back without restocking/shipping fees...provided I buy some new Dominators (6400 C3DF). Bet those make it to 1150 MHz.:D

damn i hate it when ram doesnt run the stock speed the company provides.

UM yeah - I don' think you will get over 1080~ had that board and it was piss poor for memory OCing - I too had the 1150 patriots and 1200 axerams and some 6400 HZ good for >1200 so if you want a good RAM OC board look no futher (or harder LOL) than FOXCONN MARS (for P35)

I have tried out about 6 different boards in the past year and the MARS board was by far the best P35 and Intel board I had/have owned

Um....maybe you didn't see the sig. below?;)

My Team and my 6400C3 Dominators will do 1200 MHz, but I'm limited by E8400 stability above 3.8 GHz and I'm strapped by the divider at 1:1.25 and if I go to 1:1.5 it jumps to 1260 (which won't boot).

yeah... about that it says nothing about that board running memory that high... ask around (like Intel section and IP-35PRO thread) I trust if you play around with it to give you 1150 or 1200 for mem you will not have success - (board limiting)... if you want memory clocking from that gen of boards IDK what to tell you... maybe loo at some P45s (DDR2) and pick up a BIOSTAR TP45 HP for some fun;)

Anyone having problems running high speed RAM ? tried my new aXeRAM DDR2-1200+ and Patriot DDR2-1150 and no go at high (1100+ speeds) ...what gives and I am using 16.B09 BIOS too - would official 14 be good for clocking a Celeron 420 w/ high speed RAM - getting the MARS board by the way... for benching

I get 01 and 02 errors over 1100

what about these reapers (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227196)? i hope it wont have the same problem as those patriots. it's soooo cheap too. seems like it has good reviews...

I stand corrected and bow to your experience.

I wouldn't sweat it much I've got 3 high end p45 boards (All Gigabyte ep45-dq6, ep45-Extreme, ep45t-extreme) and have yet to get the Patriot Viper ddr2 1150 to run right on any one of the three.

Patriot suggests running it at 2.1 - 2.15 on the P45. Me I think it'll run better attached to my trash can.

I tried for 6 hours to run them at between 1.8 and 2.5v rated timings, loosened timings, 800 - 1200 so far I've got some really killer paper weights.
