EDIT: are the Platinum 4GB (2x2048) D/C Kit PN - OCZ2P1066LV4GK likely to have similar potential to the Blade LV DDR kits?

yes its just a change of heatspreader

So you aren't using a higher bin for the Blade series? Is this correct?

I agree this ram is awesome but i'm not sure if it's better than Micron D9 in terms of overclocking limits.

I tried further with resonable voltage but i could not get DDR1250 5-5-5-15 or anything over DDR1030 4-4-4-12 stable at 1.94V, something D9 is easily capable of with volts. (>2.3V)

As the Asus boards tend to overvolt the ram i did not try higher volts though.

If this ram does not degrade like D9 over time this is very very good stuff for AMD setups, like you said plug and play.

What is the max voltage this ram will take Tony?

Earlier in the thread he told me that above 1.9v didn't give much... but I suppose 2.1v should be very very safe 24/7 a few years since its DDR2.

2V or higher and this memory gets seriously hot...not worth the effort.

I have 80+GB DDR2 and out of everything i have here this stuff rocks...regards it clocking over 1250...i have reports of 1333 on P45 systems so the issue for us with Phenom2 is Phenom2's memory controller or the boards themselves.

Remember around 100 will try to do 1333, 1000 may do 1200 but 10k+ will do 1066 and for that this memory is seriously good.
05-12-2009, 02:50 PM
Caveman787

Have to ask it but were these just a run of the mill batch or were they cherry picked?

and can above 1066 be done with 8gb on a phenom II with these?

If there gonna be $50 and clock like youve shown even even in a 4x2 seup and an amd system they'll be most likely the best value on the market for the ddr2 overclockers.
05-12-2009, 03:13 PM
Tony

Mine are unheatspreadered production samples, hence I can not show piccies. I showed 8GB 1066 with 1.65V back a few posts BUT remember the boards have to be tuned to do 8GB 1066+ also.

The DFI was always a board that would do it for me, where the MSI SB600 would never do it...1040 was the limit.

Regards $50...no idea, i know they are 50ish GBP here in the UK, but we always pay more here :(

i ordered the blades.
needed to upgrade to 4gb anyways. :)

funny how they are only available in germany, netherlands and italy for now.
05-13-2009, 05:38 AM

Guys stock in stores now is from 1st shipment and is not rebinned...you stand a chance of getting awesome modules. I just looked on OCZ and they have now started binning the IC's for 1150 and 1200 at 1.8V, so it you want modules you know will do 1200 get the new 9600 Blades

I had the German sales stock them ASAP as I know the German OC'ers like Reaper 1066 etc and I feel these are better.

thats why you see them early from this region...German sales+Tony=get OC'ers what they want ;)

That's true, OCZ memory is VERY popular in Germany!

But only with a black PCB, right Tony? :D

Well, after what you said about OCZ binning them higher, I should be getting the 1066 Blade on Friday. Looking forward to testing them!

I will buy the first 2 sets of 1066 I see and report back :up:
05-13-2009, 07:50 AM
Tony

I still think the 1066 will do ok but you may need 1.87 or 1.89 over 1.85 etc to do 1200, they will just bin the highest spec modules with the lowest voltages.

So its no great loss...you may just have to add a tiny amount of extra voltage.

2.0V gained me nothing but heat, 1.93ish was the max on 4 of the 6 modules I have here...

Tiny steps here, 1.85 to 1.86 may be the difference from unstable to stable
05-13-2009, 11:35 AM
Caveman787

gah come on Tony make it so they don't speed bin those 1200 1.8v beasts are going to be like $200 probably. So much for the insane potential overclocking you showed us.

I would think since this heatspreader is heavy and supposed to cool well then 2.0v shouldn't produce much heat.

i received the blades today. black sticks!! very nice.
after alot of work i finaly got it to work a little at ddr2 1200. not stable here though.
probably with better cooling i could make it happen.
i had to change memory timings with memset. :confused:
bios and aod cant reach those settings.
thanx again to this stupid dq6 bios the highest stable htt is 210mhz. :shrug:
05-14-2009, 07:04 AM

Just mess around with skew, trfc and drive strength (if you bios have those) values, try to swap the sticks around or try them in the other slots.

DDR1200 5-5-5 was a piece of cake here.

How are the oc ability with the platinum? Don't see anyone reporting about the platinum low voltage line only the Blade low voltage ones. I mean what's the different other than the heatspreader?

Just got results off a Gigabyte p45 extreme...1333 5-6-6-24 ;) that was tested at OCZ Taiwan...i have asked them to test 6-5-5- and 6-6-5 also as these may allow an easier OC.

They are killer modules for sure

I was excited about these sticks but I'll have to wait until Gigabyte release a new BIOS for 790X-UD4P. It's default vDIMM is 1.95V, and I have to use +0.1V option to get 1.90V. Ugh.

What's the difference between this DFI LP board and the DFI DK board? All I can find is the DK version with SB750.

Hi,

i also bought these sticks today. I have to say that these blades are looking and feeling really good (heavy).
Have an Biostar TPower I45. The modules i got are 1066 Blades, but in the SPD are 555 MHz with 5-5-5-18-34.
Are they factory overclocked ? LOL

Tony I see that the "Low-Voltage" modules are out on OCZ website at 1150mhz and 1200mhz. Anything different about those, or just higher binning?:shrug:

Higher binning, as mentioned earlier in this thread. :yepp:
05-16-2009, 05:55 AM
Tony

We originally were just going to release them as 1066 hence the first shipment to Germany may be killer as they are unbinned for higher speeds...you may get really lucky ;)

Now...OCZ have an eye on my overclocking tests and had a look at yield at upper speed grades and found some did 1150 1.8V, some did 1200 1.8V and some less than 1150 1.8V so these become 1066 bin.

This does not mean the 1066 won't do higher clocks will a little more juice...and I mean a tiny amount as big jumps can hurt these modules speed...going to 1.85 may be all thats needed for the 1066 bin to go to the 1200 bin.

So 1200 are the best as they passed at 1.8V...remember this is board specific BUT they are the best out of the stock we hold.
