OCZ FlexII PC3-16000 Review

[maxine]

1) Sorry for my poor cam quality.
2) Sorry for my poor English.
3) Stability (for me) isn´t 32M SuperPi. Stability = OCCT(1h mix) + 600% memtest HCI.
4) The E4700 have horrible FSB Wall @ 405

Time Sux(i know), but i prefer show 32M stable doing 20mins than 13min...

Still testing, more results soon...

[I34z1k]

Wow, innovative cooling there IMO BUT it must be really restrictive :(

[fatguy1992]

I can't wait to see some results :)

[eternal_fantasy]

Waiting for your results! I can't get my A-Data 2x2GB kit (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=196482) using pretty much the same Samsung ICs stable on my Rampage Extreme, so I'd like to see how you get on with yours. :up:

Wow, innovative cooling there IMO BUT it must be really restrictive :(

Those heatspreaders have been out for a really long time, I have the DDR-II Flex II's which are 100% stable at 1166 Mhz, and benchable at 1200 Mhz Cas 5 (2x2 Gb sticks).

Im looking forward to the DDR-3 results, I have a combo motherboard but dont think going from my DDR-2 Flex II to a DDR3 set would make much difference, but as usuall, I might just be tempted =D

BTW, the picture quality is great, I cant even come close to pictures as clear as those, well done with your camera :up:

[I34z1k]

Bhavv, I have a set of flex's that I have validated up to ddr1550 :), 30min orthos stable @ 700c5. I was talking about water channels on either side of the spreader and the splitter.

Awesome speed!!!

I cant even pass 20 mins orthos at 600 Mhz, but its because of my motherboard, not the ram, and they dont respond to increased volts.

I dont use water on mine, so I didnt notice any difference on the water chambers, my bad. They look identical in the pictures.

[I34z1k]

You are running a 4gig kit though ;)

You are running a 4gig kit though ;)

Oh, you have the 2x1 Gb kit.

They have different single slot heatspreaders. The DDR-2 Flex II kit is this one here:

OCZ 2x2 Gb Flex II (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-111-OC&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=817&name=OCZ%204GB%20(2x2GB)%20PC2-9200C5%201150MHz%20Flex%20II%20Passive/WaterCooled%20Dual%20Channel%20DDR2%20(OCZ2FXT1150 4GK))

Those are what I was comparing it to initially, I got mine for just £99 inc vat, i saw the price a while back and thought 'buy buy buy buy buy ......' even though I dont use water cooling.

:up:

There are pics in my sig link.

They are the same heatspreaders, just DDR-2 and now with DDR-3. But I dont think there is any point in upgrading to DDR3 just yet when I have these.

I might want a DDR3 and crossfire ATI 4850 upgrades soon, so i'm keeping my eyes open for results on these modules.

Preliminar Cas5 uploaded.
A lot of results coming.

[philbrown23]

man I love the looks of the FLEX seriries! I WANT SOME!!

[maxine]

agggg...imageshack down.
Tonite will re-upload images to photobucket.

My TACENS Valeo Pro 600W died today. So waiting Corsair 1000HX to update results soon.

[Miravo]

That watercooling blocks are really crappy. I saw them about 4 months ago in Wilk Elektronik SE factory (Goodram) as samples for using, 8 barbs :D they are made by akasa if I remember correctly. Old good Flex radiators were better :)

[maxine]

Dont worry Miravo...this memory runs cool (<38ºC) with a fan. Watercooled isnt really needed.

Updated cas5, now to 682Mhz, and Cas6 to 800Mhz with tight timmings.
The E4700 have an FSB wall @ 405, so i think cant reach fsb 500 to test it at 1000Mhz...

More results soon...

[nut311]

nice going ....cas 6 very incredible :up: waiting for next result, btw switch procie w/ E8000:)

[maxine]

Updated...OMG cas5 800Mhz with perf=5 & 1N!!!!....:up:

[bhavv]

=O

I can now show this to all the OCZ haters :up:

[superray]

800MHz cas5? I'm shocked

[WaterFlex]

Everest results, please.

[maxine]

Everest results are in the second picture! (with aq3, 3d06, etc).
Read, copy, latency...all posted! (click on aq3 image to zoom).

Still testing with QX6850 (i hope reach 850+ Mhz). The e4700 have 405 wall, so max test is 810Mhz.
