CSX DDR3 arrived: Diablo 2000MHz & CEC 1333MHz kits first look

I ran these at 2GHz (8-7-6-19-T1) with 1.96 in BIOS, and tested them for 20- maybe 30 minutes at 2,06V in BIOS to see how high they would run at stock-latencies. That's it. Also, they weren't even getting warm, but still I had a fan over them.

How do I know it's the mainboard? Except that it's obvious, it's also a know issue with NVIDIA-chipsets.. Before it became news one or two weeks ago I was told by someone from OCZ that Asus was going to take the 790i Ultra out of production soon - supposedly for these kinds of issues.

Any problems with these Diablo's on a Rampage Extreme?

nVidia chipsets are bad, that has been known for years. If you get working sample, you're lucky. After 3 samples i get one that actually works and i use it for testing sometimes. Haven't killed anything, no data corruption, works like charm. Intel chipsets are a lot better, but takes skill, knowledge and time to tweak it.

Can things like going from 1.90 to 1.94 then 1.92 and so kill the memory? Cause thats what is happening to most boards, but this is the second or third time I hear a pair of memory died, specially Diablo, with so many reviews and people saying that even at 2.1 the heatspreaders were not even close to warm.

rma?

Anyone got an address where I can contact CSX? Their site seems to be down for a couple of days already..

yes they know about it, and working on it don't worry :) its some server issue...

Thanks, & yes for RMA.

drop me a PM.

Diablo DDR3 kit just arrived, UPS dude dropped it in :)
Seems to have Micron D9GTS chips.

Ok, first 1.96 would really be 2.08 and 2.04 at load (considering your striker also overvolts), it is still under the 2.1 mark, but Im pretty sure people here would agree more than 2.0 is taking a risk (I wouldnt run my RAM higher than 1.95 anyways).

Thats the main reason why I want this kit, I should be able to run it at 1.86 BIOS (1.94 real, 1.90 in load) at 1800Mhz 8-7-6-18 with no problems while keeping the memory safe on the voltage. Just in case, Im planning on putting a OCZ Memory fan on top of them.

According to the BIOS & Everest my S2E's vDimm of 1.96V was exactly 2V, so as far as I know I always ran 'em at factory specs. Besides that they (or mine) really needed a minimum of 'real' 1.98V to run at 2GHz 8-7-6-19 T1. Though I set them to 2V 'real' just for that little bit of extra security/stability.

On the up, my problems are being solved atm; I can swap my faulty S2E for a RE at my shop, & CSX will RMA my Diablo's.. :up:

So all in all just another experience to add to the heap..

Well, I dont want to make a deal out of this, but IMO 2.00 shouldnt be a 24/7 on DDR3, specially if you have Micron inside your memory. Thats my opinion.

If I had to run more than 1.90, 1.95 would be my deadline, of course with fans on top.

Of course, I do this to avoid RMAs. Since you guys live in Europe and CSX is located there, your worries about RMAing are less than people like me who live in US and RMAing CSX would take longer than if CSX was in US.

guys today i have order 4 Gbs (2GB X 2) kit for my EVGA 790 FTW, and after i will post the test....

Thats great canna
waiting for your results!

@canna;

Dude, just loading 2 X 2 Diablo's 2000 mhz in a Rampage Extreme. Had a heck of a time getting them to boot and allow me to load Vista 64. Finally went with mem at 1600 mhz, used memory feature. stock loose timings (9's, Perf Level 8). It put the E8600 @ 4.00 ghz. Temp 34 & 37 C Just going to put in the second stick now as trying to get it going with both in wasn't working. All the best with your sticks.

GriZ

Man I want this so bad!

Can this kits do CAS 5/6?....try it please....:D
