Not bad, these can do 10-11-11-28 1T@1.58v HyperPi32M stable. I'll have to bin two of my other four sticks to see if I can't run 16GB at these settings.

but cpu imc is weak .. 1300 - is max for pi32 .
I'm sorry, this was with 1.7v , idk if they will do this with less volts 9-11-11-24 @ 2400.
The IMC on this chip sucks, anything over 2400 = no boot :(

That's what i'm talking about guys, 2400 cas9! T0lsty, what voltage for that?
I've ordered another kit from caseking.de hoping it will arrive this week so i can have a play.
Aiming for 4x4GB 2400 9-11-11 for daily usage. :)
My IMC ( or board... ) must be really weak, with 4x4GB I can't boot over 2133Mhz, even at 2133 stability isn't possible to achieve, I can only start playing at 4x4GB 2000Mhz :( it's really a shame.
That seems very strange, what stepping is your CPU?
Asus killing hardware? My last 10 boards have all been Asus. Zero hardware killed.
Not keeping an eye on voltages when set at auto is user error in my book.
Maybe you're just plain anti-Asus?
Early batch L152B586 , it's an average CPU 1.176v for 4.5Ghz , 1.36v for 4.8Ghz and around 1.45v ( still to be tested ) for 5Ghz. I've it with original TIM replaced with phobya's liquid metal. Temps are awesome.
I would have no problem in getting that extreme6 bios. I would just hope there would be such thing for my Z77 Asrock Professional, I confess this board was a casting error. I should have wait some more days, at that time, and go for the M5G.
I though about giving asrock a chance, I had ASUS since 775 with the 1st conroe, never had any major problems, though with P67 I had some problems with their RMA ( sucky sucky ) and ended up paying around 50€ to have my M4E fixed and working again... and that took them 4 f*cking months...
The past is the past, I just wished for better support with full dim slots populated, because sh*t just goes crazy when I try to overclock 4x4GB
Sigh, I just said every brand sucks, yet you think I am anti-asus because they were mentioned? Cmon, objective reading performance have to exceed football this round...
MSI kills hardware too, 3 CPUs 2 motherboards by countrymen, for that 5ghz 32M challenge at XS so far, and was 5 mobos 3 CPUs on MSI for MOA - guess they are ASUS haters because they lost some hardware, right? Stummerwinter also lost his best 3770K CPU on MVE...
ASUS are having some trouble with Z77, just like everyone else.
Gigabyte is extremely reliable, you can pour water on it while running and it will still survive.... However, the BIOS are the by far worst that I have had to experience... Their UEFI sucks, all of them, they are HOPELESSLY BAD - one should not think 1 single person can make that great a difference, but he could, head of BIOS team changed, and by god the quality of BIOS went to hell.
At this point, batch is of no importance, and that isnt bad at all, I've had 5 3770K so far, its not IMC related at this level, simply just immature BIOS.
MVG should help alot, and to my knowledge be really good with Sams, the 'issue' of the board is cap on vdimm, you cannot go very high 1.7v or so.... But you wont go higher with samsung HYK0 IC anyway :)
But the BIOS is hard getting for now, but will be more available soon, but right now, we are less then 10 with the BIOS.
1.7v for memory is low, but hey 1.8v would be enough for me.
As for the bios I know some ppl, that know some ppl that are for sure on that 10 with the bios, that's why I sad that getting it wouldn't be that hard :)
You specifically mentioned Asus and no other brands for killing hardware, hence my answer. I don't see how i can read that any more objective. I don' t keep track of who is killing what but i am sure other brand boards take cpu's out. Even Gigabyte. And sure Asus does but i'm quite sure Asus is the most used brand by overclockers so more cases of killed hardware compared to other brands is what you'll see.
But let's not take this thread too far off topic. ;)
Running 1068 @ 10-10-10-28 1t @ 1.5v . First time playing with these sticks. Have 32g and i just grabbed 4 to test. Is this a good 32m super pi ?

Well, I managed HyperPi 32M at 1200MHz 10-11-11-28 1T with 1.575v, batches 1134 paired with 1220.
Attachment 128483
Noice! Almost there. Do you think Cas 9 is possible with let's say 1.65V?
Which is a good voltage for 24/7 operation?
Today one of the kits i'd ordered finally came in. Week 15.
Slotted the rams in and loaded the mild Samsung profile. 1.5V and DDR2000, no problems, timings are a bit loose at 10-12-12 but a good starting point to get to know the rams. After that i tried DDR2200, still no problem. Then DDR2400, that initially gave code 55 but after a restart it booted into Windows without trouble.
From there on i started testing for stabilty and ended up with this:

It's been a real busy day today so more testing tomorrow. So far i'm happy. :)
Oh btw, i pointed my infrared thermometer at the rams, they never broke 35ºC with a 80mm fan blowing over them at low rpm at load.
Guys I have four 1147 batch here, what timings should I aim for with 3930K for 2400 24/7 use?
I have 4x4 Team 2400-9-11-11, benched 2450c9 but not prime stable even at 2400. Looser timings didn't seem to help, I think my imc is struggling, xmp 2133 seems much more stable with four sticks in.
What mem test is that?
:)
that is memtest for windows aussie
are you on IVY ? or SB ? my Team X would boot 2800 11-14-14 and im stable at 2600 10-12-12-22 1T at 1.665
btw the 1147 batch i had 4 modules and they didnt do well but never had the chance to test them on the GENE 5 maybe was that
