My sticks is getting 1.7825volts and they have never gotten more than that. On my Rampage black edition with my 980x id did nearly the same speed at same volts

Crosshair V Formula is overvolting Dram quite a bit, real voltage on the rams was at least 1.8V i guess. Never the less, very impressive frequency for 6-6-6 timings.

any thoughts about this kit for BD?

im looking for 16gb kit (for eventual 95w 8120 bd which I dont have yet).

Difficult to decide if I'd use Gskill Eco for OC and use any cheap 16gb kit for workstation hmm. psc, hynix bfr?

I would have to guess 1.82-1.83v. Slightly lower than I estimated.

The sticks look average, GTX2 would be doing 2100+ at 1.8-1.9v

DDR3-2585 9-9-9-28 in dual channel with GTX2. Didn't push hard, but I bet 2600+ is possible. And this on CHIV :D.

Hahaha I laughed a little. Very nice result :up:
Apparently 2700+ is possible with PSC, but I think Hypers are finally back :D

Looks like you should be able to do up to 2400 with Hyper stable if you tweak a bit(?)...

Not sure if possible with current bios. Tried hard at 2285, but couldn't manage to run Prime95 error-free for more than ~10 minutes.
I think the IMC craps out or the divider is buggy. Same with the Trident kit, which validated 1330MHz, but I reached the CPU-NB limit. Really need other mem dividers (highest now is 1866).

Does the Trident kit run past 2285?

The 1.7825volts are measured with a DM and it is set at 1.725 in bios

Thanks Leeghoofd! :up:

I just ordered a set of these (hopefully it's the same kit :p:), they're on sale at the Egg for $70 w/discount...!

I didn't read this whole thread so if you don't mind would you post your best clocks (or link it for me)...

Thanks, Dave

Well, I finally got these Ripjaw 2133's today. I haven't had much time to play with them, so these are really early results. ;)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231476

So far, I kind of have mixed feelings...
The clocks are really good, but I'm having a hard time tightening timings.
Maybe it's just the nature of an 8gb kit, but my old Mushkin Lovos (4gb 2x2) were killer and did 2040 @ 7-10-7 stable.

Anyway, heres what I've gotten after a few hours (seemingly stable):

It's a nice kit for $70... Guess I was just hoping for a little more as far as timings go. :p:

I obviously have alot more work to do, but I'm just looking for opinions... ;)

Do I have any chanche for 2133MHz on BD with the below four modules?

Hypers, yeah I should think so.

I got me a kit of Gskill Tridents 16000 C9 i planned to put into my mom in law's computer but after testing i think i am gonna keep them myself:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...mtestsmall.png

I think 500% HCI memtest can be considered stable.

I tried higher but it errored, more volts backfired badly, 165V in bios which is approx. 1.675V real seemed to be the sweet spot. It booted at Trcd 8 but it wasn't even remote stable.

From what i've read these babies should contain Elpida BBSE chips.

Only paid €60,- for this kit so not too bad i think. :)

Very nice.
better BBSE was able to pull just about 2000 7-8-7...

I'm eying a Team LV kit, 2000 9-9-9 ;)

Thanks.

I think this kit can pull that off too but not stable and i prefer to have my ram fully stable to avoid a corrupt OS.

I tried DDR2000 7-8-7 with 1.625V in bios and it did boot but once i tried to set trcd back to 9 and tried to save and exit it frooze. Some more volts will get me into Windows i'm sure but not as stable i would like.

I can confirm they are hynix bfr. I have 8120 and 990FXA UD7. I havent really had time to mess around with them.
PM me maybe I can sell you this rig because I dont really need it. Lemme know.

You will probably need close to 1.725v to do 2000 7-8-7 stable...but that is a little high for 24/7 usage.

Memory can corrupt an OS but it's easy to recover with the install disk

Unfortunately it is not working as I've expected. .:( I've tried two modules only in a CH V and it is not stable even at 2133 MHz.

Been tricky so far to get it to run 100% stable above 2000 with my hypers as well. Can boot at something like 2500, but stability is just not there.

It seems to me that GSkill is doing a pretty tight binning process for the ic on their kits. I think the good strong clocking ic are binned and held for their more expensive offerings. Their more pedestrian everyday kits seem to perform up to spec along with perhaps a nominal overhead.

I bought some cheap (on sale) 2x4gb Gskill Sniper 1866 kits (9-10-9-28-2T @1.5v) and they don't seem to tighten up very much or for that matter overclock all that well... i.e... 2133 with more relaxed timings while raising the dram volts to ~1.65v. I'm currently running 16GB at 1920 9-10-9-27-1T with ~1.587v.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231460

These are my initial impressions... I haven't had them for long or even tried them on my SB platform... so there may be room for further improvement. :shrug:
