If you have the newer version that favors voltage, how much VDIMM are you feeding your modules for 24/7 use? I finally had about fifteen minutes to play with my RAM this morning and am curious to explore beyond 3.15V when I return home tonight.

go up to 3.3 and see what happens.

I'm interested in where you purchased the new stuff.

I plan to, but I would still like to know if there are others pushing beyond 3.3V for 24/7 use. If so, I'm going to have to modify the respective rail on my PSU and employ some sort of "custom fabricated" active cooling contraption for my memory. :D

I ordered my memory from Newegg on October 30. The image on their site depicts the earlier Revision 2, despite the fact that the modules they sell are of the newer variety.

I am interested to see how high you can push that ram since ocz has added the 4200 el into the mix, i'm guessing they aren't going to be putting the fastest ram in the 3200 bins. it's going to go to the el 4200.

The 4200s will definitely be receiving the cream-of-the-crop chips. But it doesn't negate the fact that the new Revision 2 modules will still have excellent chips on their boards. I don't think OCZ would make the mistake of implementing anything less than good on the current Revision 2 considering the reputation and high-ranking of the previous version. It would be a shame if they did so as there is still a strong market for 2-2-2 PC3200 RAM and the first Platinum Revision 2s were clearly ahead of the game.

We'll see what happens when all is said and done with my testing. I still doubt I'll see anything worth bragging about until I make the move to 939. The memory controller on the 754 is a crippling force that keeps most of us unlucky tweakers away from DDR600 and beyond.

I got mine from NewEgg today. :D However, I will have to wait a few months before I switch to AMD, until then I am curious to see what people are getting out of their rev.2.

Getting one drop shipped from OCZ tomorrow... will see... :P

apparently my OCZ platinum rev2 don't like high voltage's, i get best overclocking between 2.6-2.9vdimm

I don't know if I have the "new" revision or not but voltage does help make it stable at higher speeds but it doesn't help any in tighter timings, well it might if ran at a slower speed.
2.8v's gets me to about 250/260 range while 3.3v's will get me around 290+ and thats with 2x512 with 1 stick I max out around 310.

Anyways back to your qeustion I run this stuff at 3.3v's all the time.

Excellent. That's exactly what I wanted to hear. :D Check out the images I attached at the top of this thread and compare your heatspreader against them to determine which set you have.

An excerpt from a PM I received from ryanpgroovy several hours ago reveals the following:

3.1 is safe under warranty , I reccomend a fan for above 3.1 volts

Unless someone else comes out from behind the shadows and convinces me that their RAM has been operating beyond 3.3V 24/7 using nothing more than forced air as a cooling method for the DIMMs, I'll probably shy away from pushing these modules too much.

Will you at least just see how far they will manage to go given a little extra voltage, maybe just slap a fan on them for testing purposes :D

I guess I can break out my 92mm Tornado for the sake of testing, but only when my wife is not home. :D

Mine look like the bottom pics, I just got them about a week ago.

I use a 80mm fan to cool the ram, by using a temp gun I have not seen them go over 35c and that was running memtest's test #5 for along dam time.

What's your VDIMM?

conrad.maranan, are you sure on that high voltage thing?

I have the version in the top picture, will feed them some and see how they fare. ;)

The only thing I'm sure of is the fact that the OCZ EL DDR PC-3200 Platinum Revision 2 has manifested itself in two different forms: the good ol' two point something volts version and the newer scales with increased voltage release.

As I mentioned earlier, I only had a brief opportunity to test my modules. During that very short period, I maxed out one stick at 260MHz @ 2.8V on my DFI board. I pushed the voltage to 2.9 and was able to hit 270MHz+. I then tried the 3.1V option and was amazed to hit 298MHz, just four pennies shy of DDR600. Keep in mind that this was at 2.5-3-3-10 with all other settings on Auto, with the exception of Drive Strength which was set at 1.

I'm leaving the office in about 45 minutes, so I'll see what 3.3V will do. If all is well, I'll start dialing-in my memory for the remainder of the night and run Prime95 while I'm sleeping. Once everything is perfect, I'll repeat the whole process to find my max with both DIMMs installed.

Your new version doesn't sound so great to me. I can hit those same timings at 310htt at 2.7v with either sticks of my 512. I have the older version week 431 chips on them.

Possibly your memory controller is holding them back. Your sticks sound like my Ballistix PC3200 where as it needs 3v to hit 300htt.

This is all interesting and everything but the PC3700 el dual stuff I picked up at excal last week is stable 295 2.5 3 3 10 1t @2.7 dual channel.

Is there a benefit to the 3200 stuff?

man i been dreaming night and day about getting the 3200s and now all of a sudden they seem to be getting dumped on as not that great. im stuck between ocz and gskill and from what everyone is saying about how the ocz 3200s arent that great anymore i find myself leaving towards gskill. whats a man to do? i want as close as possbile to ddr600 at 2.5-3-3-10 1T do i need to go gskill for that or will the 3200's accomodate?

There is nothing wrong with the 3200 ones as long as you dont have an old -CO cpu i think.
Ppl started talking about new rams that are so much better but i dont think anyone has them yet.
So dont be too fast, computer world is fast enough =)

*Product may not be exactly as shown*

LoL dont always believe what you see in a picture, because I must have REVISION 3*sarcasm* my OCZ looks like neither of those 2

In the first picture you can see the ram states it is 8-2-2-2, in the bottom picture you can see its 2-2-2 and mine says 2-2-2-5 Never buy anything based on a picture the store shows....

And Ryan has already stated, there isnt a single batch of "high voltage loving chips" he said anything past 431 has mixed chips that love voltage, but also a huge ammount that work best at low voltage, so it is still luck of the draw

Shadco, have you tried running cas2-2-2-5 with your OCZ PC3700 EL with your OCZ booster installed yet? If you get a chance do so and let us know your results. I installed my booster again last nite and tried throwing 3.45v thru them and did nothing for me in terms of running tight timings above 250htt.

Gonna throw my 3200+ back in and see if it will allow my to run those timings compared to my 3200+DTR.

Just a update seems my 431 chips do react to voltage, though not real tight I'm able to run cas2-3-3-5-1t 1:1 280htt at 3.4v but only sandra proof at 270htt.

Not great results but compared to only cas2 at 250htt with anything below 3v isn't bad. Maybe the new Powerbrain PCB is the real difference why some might run 2-2-2-? above 250htt with voltage.

so a gig of this stuff will do well in a UT?

Timeline of Events:

11/10/04 (1:30am - 4:00am)
---------------------------
- Flashed BIOS to 10/15 Beta 4V DIMM
- Increased voltage to 3.3V (3.3V rail has not yet been modified)
- Boot, test, boot some more, test some more
- Highest memory frequency with one 512MB module: 310MHz @ 2.5-3-3-10 (Drive Strength=1)
- Fine-tune using A64 Tweaker
- Implement final settings displayed on A64 Tweaker in BIOS
- Memtest Test #5 looped for 10 runs without errors
- Sandra memory benchmark reveals 5050MB/s average on several runs
- Desire to push for more kicks in
- Adjusted CPU voltage to 1.9V
- Boot, test, boot some more, test some more
- Highest memory frequency with one 512MB module: 315MHz @ 2.5-3-3-10 (Drive Strength=1)
- Greed kicks in, risks are ignored
- Adjusted CPU voltage to 2.1 placing complete confidence in 92mm Vantec Tornado
- Highest memory frequency with one 512MB module: 330MHz @ 2.5-3-3-10 (Drive Strength=2) :slobber:
- Run Prime95 for several hours

11/10/04 (9:00am - 1:30pm)
---------------------------
- Blue screen of death
- Make adjustments in BIOS
- No luck
- Back to the basics in BIOS with cleared CMOS, Auto settings, and 10x200MHz CPU
- No luck
- Install memory modules onto wife's rig. All systems are go! Thank God it's not the RAM!
- Replace original DFI board with brand new DFI board received last week
- No luck
- Some more fiddling coupled with a few prayers and profane words in between
- No luck

Conclusion: CPU murdered with 2.1V on high-CFM air cooling.

Summary: I have a gut feeling that my OCZ modules will continue to scale well with increased voltage, granted the 3.3V rail will supply the juice and the memory controller is up to handling the task. I'm ordering another 754 on Friday from Newegg and will exercise a little bit more caution next week. Hopefully, the new chip will have a much better memory controller than the one I just killed.

In closing, I'm sure there are still a good number of people that haven't taken the plunge into the 64-bit world of processors. If and when you decide to, it would be a much wiser choice to overlook the 754 and move on to the 939 if you are looking to push your memory to its limits. I've said it in another post and I'll say it again: the memory controller on the 754 is a crippling force that will limit your memory overclocks, especially when running more than one DIMM. Some people get lucky with their C0 chips, others rave about the CG revisions. My CG couldn't put out the juice, even with 2x256MB G.Skill modules. We all know that overclocking and luck go hand in hand...more so when it comes to 754.

Wish my next CPU luck. Either way, 939 is already in my immediate future.

Cheers! :toast:

Just got this ram about 20 mins ago, and although I'm not nearly finished tweaking it yet, you can see that this ram is phenominal. My insanely CO core is no doubt screwing me, but as I'll be upgrading soon, I'm not too worried about that. I can get 290, but it's really not stable at all. I'll have results from the second DIMM after I'm done playing with this one.

More vDimm would help loads - I'm running official 10/15 bios (3.1vDimm with unmodded rail)

instead of sandra which doesn't do much for comparison of timings, can we see superpi or 3dm?

Sandra doesn't do much for comparison of timings? I find it works well for me and it's probably a lot better than SuperPi or 3DMark. SuperPi times are rounded to the nearest second. If you tweaked up another 10MHz, there's no way you're going to see it in SuperPi unless you do one of the big runs. 3DMark2001 scores vary from one run to another, even with the same exact settings.

When it comes to memory benchmarks and comparing one tweak to the next, I think Sandra and Everest take the cake.

DaGoof
Flash to the 4V BIOS and push that rail to 3.3V. ;)

I'm gonna flash right now, just hope my crappy PSU doesn't fail on me :thumbsup:

I doubt this thing can do 3dmark, and I was getting better superpi scores when i had a 9x multi x 272 fsb with slightly tighter timings.

Last night, I was able to run in the 270MHz neighborhood at 2-3-3-7. If CAS2.5 gives you grief in Memtest in the mid-ranges, try CAS2.

Good luck with your testing...and try not to fry anything. ;)

I'm gonna try single stick first because I think I'm up against the memory controller in the CPU.

The ram boosters are prolly gonna find a home in the P4 boxes which are using PC3700 Gold Rev 2 chips and I know they can benefit from more vdimm.

My max cpu speed is 2450mhz, so I had to limit myself to 272fsbx9... And to be honest, that was a lucky SuperPi run - I usually get 35s, Time to push her back to 290fbs, and see how stable she is with the new bios.

Thanks for the tip on the 939. I'm still on an intel system and will be switching to AMD sometime next year, DFI 939 Nforce 4 SLI :slobber: I enjoy reading every ones oc'ing on the 754 I just wouldn't want to only have 512 mb of ram no matter how fast it is. Then again I like gaming and 2x512 is a must.Benchmarking is fun but whats the point if it dosn't help in real "computer world" applications. Just my two sense ;)

After I finish mapping for CSS tonight, I will be testing my second dimm, and then both because I dont plan on only using 512 either. No school tomorrow, so a whole day of tweaking for me :banana3:

No work tomorrow, so a whole day of looking at my dead Clawhammer for me. :(

I know I said I was going to buy another 754 on Friday. On second thought, I'm not going to anymore. I'm jumping on the 939 bandwagon even though the DFI nForce 4 isn't out yet. I just placed an order for a 3000+ Winchester and an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum with mWave and will be picking it up from them on Friday or Saturday morning.

Good move. I'm waiting for January or something to roll around before I move up, but I really can't wait to be off this damn 3200+

Oh... just great... got my Plat rev2 with the new looking heatsink. Guess what.
wouldn't pass memtest stock setting no matter what! 2-2-2-5 @ 2.5-2.85v as well as 4 different bios.
I get curious and start testing sticks individually.
1 stick fails @ 3-3-3-8 in no time... ahahaha.
the other one doesn't make it 2-2-2-5 but is scaling up on 2.5-3-3-7 setting decently. (past 260 now)
Now before someone plays "foul" I had perfectly well working EB (still do have it as I plan to ship it out to someone else tomorrow) running happily @ 2.5-2-2-8 @ 2.85v @ 230 or 3-2-2-8 @ 240 on this particular board. Also samsung TCCC I had works as well as on this board as any other.
I am starting to wonder quality control of OCZ now. I KNOW they have awesome tech support as I had to RMA my Powerstream before (another quality issue?) Out of 4 product I have had chance with from them, 2 of them didn't have good first impression so far. I definitely will be contacting OCZ tomorrow first thing in the morning as my good sticks of EB are getting shipped out and I will need something to play with soon...

Well, this is the first product I've had from OCZ, and I could not be more impressed. The fact that I max out at the same speed no matter whether I'm using 1 DIMM or 2 DIMMS, leads me to believe that not only is this ram being screwed by my memory controller, but this ram has TONS more headroom. That damn CO core that I got in January is surely screwing me.

285 = 512x2, impressively stable @3.3vDimm


http://www.imgbucket.com/39/285x2.jpg

That was what I am hoping for but I definitely god dud of sticks. I've had powerstream that died first day on me with spark too :P
Previous 2 memories I got from OCZ was good to okay at least (3700gold when it was hot and 3700eb). This one just blows though. Even one of this stick I have only does 260 2.5-3-3-7. The other one is just not stable in any speed whatsoever (okay I didn't try anything below 200 obviously... but tried timing up to 3-3-3-8 on that one)
I seriously doubt if it is memory controller on the dud stick considering my EB is running perfectly fine in dual channel on mobo that is reputed not to like EB...
Hopefully something will be resolved quickly with OCZ (which I have little to doubt for considering their track record with me on this kind of issue) without me having to go without memory for time as I am shipping my sold 3700eb out tomorrow -_-;

htt? You mean LDT or so called HT Frequency on this one?

http://www.home.no/jimramse/Pictures...10%202.55v.JPG

Have to confess. It's not stabile there. The highest I've benched is about 285. But I really love this RAM. You have to consider that this is Dual Channel and 1t.

which woman is on your desktop ? :D

kane send me pics of her :)

amazing

Here's just about the highest I can get on 2-2-2-5

http://www.imgbucket.com/52/2225.jpg

Kane, Can you do a 1m superpi run at 300mhz? I'm curious

wow Kane first 4000+ s939 cpu I've seen in use :cool:

:-)

Can't run SuperPI at that speed. Sorry. Haven't tried how high on the RAM i can run it, but here's a pic of my best time.

http://www.home.no/jimramse/Pictures...10%2030sek.JPG

Still all air, and normal room temps. I'm pretty happy with that time.

not bad

This is with Gskills I just got today. Let's see if my RMA'd unit can beat this while costing slightly less to same price :) (crossing my finger hoping it will arrive tomorrow)

what timings Jinu

2.5-3-3-10 :) 1T of course.

Well, I'm experiencing some wierd things - I'm 3dmark/ANYTHING stable @ 270mhz, so to push her further, I tried these settings:

5:6 ratio
300fsb
8xmulti

Should be getting 250mhz for my ram, memtest shows 250, but cpuz shows 240 - and I get the bandwidth of ram running at 240. Quite confused here, tomorrow we'll see if my board just hates high FSB, and if the ram runs a 5:6 ratio correctly at 200mhz.

Mine aint quite stable but does 278+ in superpi.
This is the top for my 3500+ NewCastle (hoping to get higher with the winchester thas in the mailoffice), but didnt make 1mb spi..

This one is under win2k, but there will be improvements later on ;)

Can anyone tell me what chips do they wear? I mean the ocz 3200el Platinum.

Rev2? If so, they use 'select' Samsung TCCD's.

Rev1??? I am interested in buying a set....they come for 85 euros per piece...the 256mb dimms

That's the second DIMM I never tested. Looks to perform pretty well :banana:

This is after I got a new custom chipset hsf, and it's really helping out stability - If you haven't... replace that damn stock one.

It looks like you've got a lucky combination there. That set-up is definitely a keeper. Is it 32M SuperPi Stable? Any errors in Memtest or Prime95 with those settings?

I broke down and bought a new cpu 3400+ with a date code of 0433 and its a runner for sure and made this ram alot easier to deal with using 2x512.
This setting is Prime95, SuperPI 32m, and memtest stable with both sticks at 2.5,3,3,0,7,12 and also stable at 290x9 but I'm liking the 275x10 alot better,hehe.

I'll try later, having a lan party now, and can't stray from my hosting duties to bench

OCZ PC3200 EL Platinum Rev 1 would have PoMoss chips. They wil like no more than 2.7v.

Did the comp switch off itself and all kinda file errors on blue screen ?
Mine is really unstable and wonder about changing the heatsink.
It really has no pressure at all on the chipset.

It did all sorts of stuff that it isn't doing now. I can push it further, it doesnt crash as often, and I haven't gotten that blue screen yet, except when I tried some Crucial Ballistix at way too tight timings.

Even if the heatsink doesnt drastically improve performance, I'm happier knowing that it's nice and cool now.

I bought mine from ViperJohn at DFI-Street, here's a link

Ahhh... that is nice... Next time I take my mobo out, I think I will take Arctic cooling silencer on my 6800GT out (which isn't helping a thing) and put back my hand cut Zalman NB heatsink with 50mm fan attached (it actually can fit with stock 6800GT heatsink in this combo :) and see if it helps any... maybe I will get some time... (must... check... seal string left...that winchester venture costed me nearly 1.5 roll of seal string).

Quick update on my issue...
The OCZ RMA memory that is supposed to arrive on last friday isn't most likely showing up till tomorrow. 2 business days later than promised, 4 days later than promised. Needless to say I am frustrated and won't be able to find out what this memory can do till tomorrow (if that). I need to vent the fume somewhere. Ciao.

Hi all,

Is there an optimal voltage setting for this RAM?

I've installed 2 sticks of the EL Rev2 into my IC7-Max3 but I can get the stuff past 260Mhz :(

So far I'm at 2.5-7-3-3 with 2.65v and "Perf mode" set to enabled.

If anyone could offer some advise it would be appreciated.

Cheers

I find my sweet spot for my PC3200EL Plat rev2 is 2.8v on my DFI LP. I can run lower voltage say 2.6 but that only gets me memtest and 3dmark stable at 272htt, above that needs 2.8v.

Note this is on a single memory controller 754 board running 1x512mb.

Please read the first post in this thread. You either have the version that loves voltage or the one that doesn't. There's only one way to find out what is "optimal" for your particular system as no two systems are alike.

Test, crash, reboot, adjust. Repeat this as many times as necessary for satisfactory results. ;)

Finally got RMA of my Rev2. So much trouble and hassle both I and OCZ had to go through -_-;
However, I ended up getting pretty decent stick. I don' think this one likes voltage but I am fine with that :P
2-2-2-5 stops @ 219mhz (Gskill of mine stops @ 215mhz) Both Gskill and Rev2 stops @ 281mhz for 2.5-3-3-7 (looks to me I am limited by me cpu... blah... shucks on mem controller for such a nice overclocker on core).
Will probably sell Gskill since Rev2 probably has a little more potential based on 2-2-2-5 result. (oh, and funny thing... both likes 2.6v the best... strange stuff... wonder why OCZ rate it @ 2.75v?)
