X79 MEMORY OC GUIDE (4 Different IC) --- G.SkILL + ASUS Rampage IV Extreme

I was using 1.68-1.7vdimm.

I took the cpu out and switched back to the first chip I got. It doesnt have a strong imc and wont even boot at 2400mhz, but it requires less vcore to run at say 4.8ghz. It passed linx at 4.8 using 1.386vcore, and the second chip needs 1.405 set in bios to run at 4.7 and that is not linx stable, just hyperpi and 3d benches. Weird thing though, it seems I am able to run tighter timings on the memory with this chip vs the one with strong imc. Im working on 2000mhz 6-9-6 now. If I am able to get it stable Ill keep this for 24/7.

did u test performance BTW 2000 6-9-6 and 2133 8-11-8 ?
try lower VCCSA u don't need more than 1.05 /1.10 up to 2200 ;)

this is true, on my chip over 1.05 vccsa causes instability at lower clocks.

I was having trouble passing hyperpi at c6 so I started adding vccsa hoping to not have to go any higher on vdimm. 13minutes seems like a long time to finish hyperpi.

Ill try lowering vccsa, and also test 2133c8 vs 2000c6 and see which has better performance.

Edit: this chip wont boot at 2133 1.05.

You guys have much better chips than this.

I will just leave loose timings for now. Ready to go back and start benching s1155 now, cant afford to bin these chips like I did 2600k's.

Thanks for the help guys.

Happy Holidays everyone!

just tried some PT with high memories, as you guys know high memory helps alot on PT score on 3d11
use build 1.0.1 for higher score

nice to see memory clocking helps in 11

crazy efficiency with 1005 bios, will try new one later

90% PSC ICs, they must be good for average overclock

i didn't test them personally but if you look the timings and capacity of the memories they should be PSC.
they are in 2 versions.

BXM Blue HS and BZH black HS, Gskill bin the better IC for black HS and as we can see on newegg price is 15 usd higher than Blue one, we are paying bin cost for overclock.

Ok, and vs this ram http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...2E16820231505?

This one has higher freq but lower timing.

Would I be able to get 2400mhz out of the other one?

Also, why does that one have a green pcb?

you linked wrong :D

some of them can do 2400 Cl9, if you want 16gb go with 17000 CL11 costs 170/200 USD i think.

nothing change BTW green pcb and Black ones.

my bad costs 142usd CL11 and 164 CL9

I don't think I need 16gb, Max ram I have ever used is like 5.5 I think.

Also I should get better OC results with 8gb riight?

Also, what are you thoughts on the dominator GT kits?

sure 8GB is better than 16GB for OC,
DOM GT uses Hypers IC witch is not very strong on X79 platform, if you are Corsair fan use their PSC or hynix ICs, all of them are good on X79 platform.

Oh right I remeber reading that in this thread.

Ok, so out of all the 8gb kits, what one would you recommend I get?

i am GSKILL fan so the same kit you posted.

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16820231517 if you want 4 X 2GB better OC with 2GB sticks

Yah, that what I was think as well.

I am going to get a couple of those bitspower ram freezer blocks and throw em on them aswell for the hell of it. :-)

Thanks for your help.
