Kingston @GamesCom 2010: 3068MHz C8

I'm with Benji Tshi at the GamesCom 2010 to overclock some Kingston DDR3, this is what we achieve so far.

Hardware:
I7 870
P55 UD6 bios 10
DDR3-2333 triple kit (KHX2333C9D3T1, 1Go stick)
DDR3-2400 dual kit (KHX2400C9D3T1, 2 Go stick)
Silverstone 1500w
pink foam memory pot (:D)

1,58v for vtt
1,88v for vdimm
temperature of memory around -120°C but difficult to have a precise value with this "pot"

2x1Go DDR3-2333 kit:

this morning we are testing the DDR3-2400 kit

nice speed :D

better insulation :D

crazy nice MHZ cl8 with 1gb sticks guys
Congrats :up:

I love especially the pink rampot:D- top result:up:

We've not been able to show anything today with the 2x2Gb 2400 C9, but this is what we've done in my lab before coming to GamesCom :

At least it was a very pleasant week end in Köln :up:

great ;)

Nice RAM pot :D

Well Done Guys :)

nice one Marmott :)

Ouyeah ! :clap:

thank you guys !

these 2 kits are equipped with Elpida BDBG as you can see on the pictures (click for high def shots)

if you want to have some fun with ram under ln2 the DDR3-2333 kit is ideal (you can find it around 110/115€ for 3x1Go).

just amazing :up:

Great work, congrats guys! :up:

wow great work :up:

Cool :up:

damn nice!

What is the batch of the CPU?

Kingston sticking with Elpida it seems.

Cannot find it...but for sure, it's the limit. Need to find a better one to go on with these sticks.

That's fast! Congrats :D
Nice ram pot!

What do you mean cannot find it. If you have the cpu its written on it :D

I no longer have the cpu ;) sent it back to Kingston. We had a few Lynnfields (875K mainly), but this one wasn't our.

we'll get you the batch of the cpu if you want, it'll just take some time.

But be sure it's not the best you can find: not good with 2x2gb kit and bclk limited around 255MHz.

We were limited by the bclk not the memory.

lovely work lads !!

Think someone in Sweden needs to get working again :)

great Work.

congrats

congrats guys

Could'nt resist :shrug: ...sorry Dino :D

Awesome frequency for CL8 mates! :up: those sticks rock and their pink insulation is kinda original :clap:

lol :p:

so this is the highest CAS8 frequency now?

As it seems now with a quick look at the bot's charts and canardpc validations ;)

...let's see what's next now :D

Matose claimed at the world record with 1505, so i suppose it's the highest clock for now, until somebody claim for something higher :D

cement, the best insulator xD

Dam i thougt the gx corsair's were top dog till i seen this, ram just keeps getting better and better, well done lads!

That's really awesome work. Congrate !!

HOw about the 2GB sticks?? Can they go 3Ghz as well??

Take a look at post #5...Not so far from the 3Ghz barrier, but our CPU don't really like 2Gb modules. Always the same problem, need to find a better one.

use good PSC and u pass +3050 with 2gb too, higher capacity memory need higher VTT on cpu but nothing change in max memory frequency :D

Good PSC ? Humm, good to know...so you don't have good PSC :D i believe that PSC or the chips used on that HyperX is pretty much the same. For sure, CPU is the main limit, but i hope we're gonna be able to figure it out soon. And 1 Gb modules does change it a lot, at least because our CPU doesn't like high vtt, so even pushing it harder won't help it.
I also need to work on the subtimings but it requires a lot of time to be able to find out which ones are the best, and i'm already running out of time. Maybe 2544 kit will be able to help a bit too, but this is not the priority.

As promised the cpu batch : L930B512

btw here is a small vid of the event uploaded by Kingston http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuOXwV18VO4

Very well taken to the limit! Great fotos!!!
