Cool, thanks. It is totally synthetic and not perfect but it will give me some idea of your bandwidth relative to mine now and to where I am trying to get.Quote:

I would be happy with 270 range and nice timings like that. Im doing a water cooled stacker case right now using a Thermochill PA160 for an Opty with DD5 pump and a storm,still contemplating which card to get though and if ATI can supply there new 1900 on time I just might wait a couple more weeks.
I brought mine from newegg. The dual channel kit is OOS, but they have 1GB EB sticks in stock, so I brougth two of them.Quote:

Well if your getting 2700 out of your 170 thats not all that bad, I have seen real bad clocks from some on the 170's so maybe your rams not that fast but your cpu looks good :D and RMA every other week SUCKS i hate having to do that with 300 dollar plus parts.
i've tried my sticks with two opterons and a dual core, but i still cannot use them above 258mhz without my monitor going crazy and flicking on and off :(
Man thats wierd, you should atleast get 260 I would think, that sucks. how long ago did you get them ? they are not from the first batch out are they.
I have been gaming for the last 3 hours @ 270 and still stable im going to try and up mine more to see how far i can go stable @ 3-3-2-5
i really really wish i could get to 270 with these
i bought my sticks on the 2nd of November :shrug:
they cost me £250 (about $440 USD)
i've tried 3 processors, and 2 motherboards (sli-d and a dfi expert), and i just cannot get above 258-259 at all, the only thing left that i haven't swapped is the memory...
not exactly a great first time experience of OCZ :(
but i know i can't complain cos they run as specced
i wish i could get 270 too :/
i bought mine like 4 days ago .. anthing above like 255 or so and after the initial screen when it normally says dmi pool .. it just doesnt say anything abd reboots .. if this is all this ram can do .. ill rma it and get the cheaper gskill or the ocz gold and save myself like 100 dollars
Ran Sandra just now with XP X64. Nothin spectacular i dont think. This is at 245 2.5-3-2-7 1T with my Opteron 170 at 2.7Ghz.

It seems like the newer batches of EB are not what they used to be. Initial tests show it hitting around 281 yet I do not see too many people there.
i can't even use cas 2.5 over 240 with any real stability :(
Yes now is the time to get your money back on them :) don't wait. I really hate to hear the newer ones don't oc well, these are such good sticks but there are others out there that are doing well too so i would give them a try and save a few bucks while your at it.
I see that the other brands are having the same problem. How about Crucial, do they still do 300 htt?
Yea if they don't go bad in a week ;) But they do go high, but until this batch is all sold out i would not buy any unless you want too RMA every week.
my crucials did 295 with 2.7v .. but they died after 2 months .. i was so spoiled by them compared to the ocz .. now its just a given i have to run a divider ..
i think im gonna pick up the gskill extremes for like 197 .. samsung uccc .. :banana::banana::banana::banana: i should get 4 gb lol
I just put some of the G.Skills in a system i built for my Nefhew, they are not too bad for the price, I used a MB i had here it was an EVGA SLI but they dont like much over 250 HTT so they were great for that MB. I did test them on my DFI before i put them in the EVGA and I could get them up to 270 but the timings are 3-4-4-8 but over all not bad for the price and if you get good ones you should be able to get 260 to 270 out of them, maybe more ;)
I had one of those gskill but did not pass 255 htt.Quote:
