Is someone using THIS OCZ kit (3x2 Gb)?

I was not able to use them at 1600 MHz 7-7-7-21 and my best result is 8-7-7-21 at 1600 MHz.
As I have at the moment unlocked only the 1:3 and 1:4 multipliers (Xeon processor), I am focusing on 1600 MHz or I have to raise too much the QPI.

Anyone here with the linked memory kit to share his experiences?

The fact that they are rated at 1866 with 9-9-9-28 at 1.65V already may mean you might not be able to run them at 1600 7-7-7-21 since they are rated to run with high latency at the max allowable voltage already. You may want to try 7-7-7-24 and see if could go a little further.

Returned the OCZ kit, will pick up some corsair's, wasnt able to get the ocz kit stable

[affiliate13]

I have the 1800 c8 reapers, ill have it all up and running end of the week so ill try to get some figures up for you, they are pretty close to yours but may not be the same ICs.

Make sure you run Linx ALL to test stability of memory.

Yeah, me too returned my blades 2000 cl7,and Just bought corsair 1866 cl7 with the fan for $259 at the egg, cant wait to get em!!

[roller11]

Can someone verify whether or not RIIE does S3 sleep mode at 200 Bclk or greater? Both going into sleep and resuming from sleep, thanks.

[modUlar]

I'm running 211 BCLK x19 and I have no problems with sleep mode

i got the corsairs already, the 1600's i hope that my baord isnt the one with the issue, since i had issues with both platinum 2000mhz ocz c9, and platinum ocz 1600 c7 at 1600mhz, anyway i will know in about 4 hours after work.

I have no problems running my Blade's at stockspeed, but I run them a bit below at slightly tighter timings & lower volts for the cpu (air):

[GAR]

run linx with all memory being used.

[rabor]

Didn't I? If I 'flip the switch' I can choose the amount of mem to test (only 2560 max), now I can't so I assume it uses all.. Anyway, been running & gaming like this for nearly 3 months without a single error.. to me that's pretty stable.

Run the xmp profile , if no go most likely you burnt out one of your controllers (CPU) ,good luck , i get mine later today ,ill post my results.

How much voltage on QPI/DRAM (VTT) and IOH (nb) in bios for that speed?

I put in the corsair dominators and all is fine, linx passes with all selected, system is stable with 1600mhz memory cas 8, OCZ is no good with this board.

You should be stable then, also if you have 6gb, all should give you 5000-5300mb of memory to test. If you are fully stable, it might be a certain batch, because i have had platinums with green pcb and black pcb as well, the black pcbs did not work, the green ones might have worked. Same timings but probably different chips. Anyone know what chips the corsair dimnator 1600's use??

Elpida !

I have them both on Auto, however Everest seems to be spot-on when it comes to QPi/NB/SB volts & what you set in the BIOS, because when I lock them at QPI 1.45v & IOH 1.21 Everest will say just that & the system is just as stable, only the NB gets a couple degrees C warmer.

Wow, great man , i knew OCZ was the culprit !!. If indeed there are elpida ics, you could probably tighten those suckers up. You got em at the egg?

[Brama]

I'm running 211 BCLK x19 and I have no problems with sleep mode

200x20 with turbo ON and S3 stand-by and resume is ok.

Apart that the registers of memories are not correctly saved or resumed.
After a resume from S3, using CPU-Tweaker 1.1 by Felix, you note that CAS is reported at 4 from the original 8 and the memory programming lock bit is unlocked (you can save modified latencies with CPU-Tweaker now).

Thanks, I will try but I am not too confident.

This morning I tried 7-7-7-21-2T but no way.

I am happy but LinX is not the ultimate test for RAM stability.
Try OCCT large data set or the classic prime95 with customized blend test, selecting manually the max amount of memory in your system

[aCt!]

Anyone happen to know where to set refresh interval (tREFI) in bios? cant really find it or the bios doesnt provide this option

[GAR]

Elpida !

Nice, also i have revision 3.2, anyone know what the difference is? i googled it but came up empty.

[GAR]

I forgot to ask, what is max pci-e clocks you guys have achieved with an ATI card, or in general.
