I Bought 2 kits of ocz pc2 8500 sli 2 months ago. I remember when I went to ocz´ site it clearly stated 2.4volts max with an EVP of 5% which gives around 2.5v covered by warranty.
But now, looking at the product specs again I see 2.3 Volts and 2.35 EVP :confused:
Why is that?? I purchased my sticks before ocz changed that spec, so what´s the max vdimm I could use without voiding the warranty?
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
The warrantied voltage is as stated on the website.
We have taken appropriate action to protect ourselves in light of certain information that has been presented by the motherboard/chipset manufacturers in relation to high voltage memory.
Im using this ram and have not needed more than 2.150v yet
running 3700Mhz 411x9 fsb 1645 timmings 5-5-5-15 and 5-3-3-12 for some benching . pretty sure i can do better just have not had the time to test. really not alot of need for more than 2.3v imho ...... that should get where ya need to go
Realy? Ouaouh! Mine can't boot at 2.1v at stock timing ... need 2.3v at 5-5-5-15...
Probleme with my ram?
I'm surprised 'cause : http://ramlist.ath.cx/ddr2/
It show that my ram need 2.1v at 5-5-5-15 :s
What's wrong?
What mobo are you using ? do you have any errors/problems running them w/ no OC @ 2.3v 5-5-5-15 ? how far can you OC with that vdimm and timmings ?
you might have sticks that just like that much vdimm .
Asus P5N32-E SLi Plus
No error at 2.3v 5-5-5-15 stock 533Mhz
At 2.35v max 550 boot ... and reboot ... and reboot again :D But I CANT try again ... My RAID 0 Don't love clear cmos :D
What's wrong? I've tried 5-6-6-18 at 2.35v 600Mhz but not boot :s
Most of all, can't boot at certified voltage (2.1v) (I've buy it here: http://materiel.net/ctl/PC_de_bureau...y_Edition.html)
Need SAV?
the reboots are mostlikly not the mem . but the cpu/chipset needing help to be stable @ that high of a fsb .
it is more likly to be that you need more vcore and/or a bump to the HT ssp <-> mcp voltage
make sure you have a fan on or pointing at the ram and watch temps
This is the BIG problem: There is too much things in the bios wich is unknow for me :D
the different voltage for NB SB HTT I really don't know wich one select... and HT ssp <-> mcp voltage, What is it?
My spec are:
8x450 1.46v, and all other voltage auto...
If someone can help me to set up correctly all this, it would be cool :)
EDIT: Anyway, my big problem now is WHY IT DOESN'T WORK AT 2.1V GRRRR ^^ I need to finish my review for my website and if it doesn't work at specified voltage ... it will be bad :( So SAV or wrong set up?
^^ You need to push up the vNB.
NB voltage needs to be around 1.5v for RAM to work at 500+ Mhz...
I have the same kit. It takes me 2.15v to run 1066 5-5-5-15-2T and 2.25v to run 1066 4-4-4-1T.
Its great RAM. Its just that the P5N32-e SLI needs high NB voltage to let the RAM loose!
I have the same memory. It works at PC8500, and slightly over as well at 2.1v, at the rated timings.
If you're at 450 FSB and haven't raised any voltages on the chipset and left them at auto, this could be an issue.
