Lol OCZ wants to become the best ram manufacture

I think every manufacturer does.

Guys, lets not go nuts until a few sets get out. My 1066 Blades should be here Friday and Ancoma Andy (OCN) should get his today and DonDan is still testing. Let's see if we can recreate the results (or at least be wowed) that Tony got before we all freak out. We'll let you know.

to be quite honest we all are lucky
i paid 160$ for my first gig set of ocz ddr2
i paid a premium for my gskills 9600 i sold em cause my gut told me someone gonna have some funky ddr3 in ddr2
if the price in canada is too high i'm just gonna start playin with ddr3
i wont pay ddr3 prices for ddr2 again

[Eagle_Watch]

i havent see them defeat the 2x2gb Gskill 1100mhz kit in the tests you've already done, they do a similar OC with similar voltages.
Waiting now to see how will they overclock with CL5

If you're doing heavy RAM OCing, you should have your OS imaged.

Don't tell us that ZSAMS, you'll buy anything at any price that sounds good, and we all know it!!!

Don dan, do you mind me posting my results with this ram in this thread?

[HousERaT]

Newegg finally has them (in both flavors). More money than Mwave.

Please post them somewhere :P

I really wanna know max CAS 5 & 6.

I can't find this memory in Singapore, i don't think it has been shipped here yet.

[Don_Dan]

System has been repaired, it's alive again. More tests tomorrow!

On which system will you test?
Please post what you get!

I haven't really posted much that could defeat the G.Skill 1100 anyway, can they do 533MHz CL5 @ 1.65V though?

... too late.

Please go ahead! I already added you to my ICQ list yesterday because I wanted to talk to you about your results. Will you be online tomorrow?
I'm interested in more AMD results and your kit should do really good as you have already shown 500MHz CL4 @ 1.84V, something my kit can't do, but I'm close. ( Have done the testing until 1.88V 4-4-4-12. )

Looking forward to see them!

I intend on testing both Wii and Playstation.
Seriously, I'll make sure to post reults here and on other forums. I'm not as patient and methodical as you and Tony though. I tend to max out quick and then go back for details.

Which is good.

I cannot say for AMD, but for Intel, CAS 4 doesn't mean jack .

Faster CAS 5 or 6 will outperform CAS 4 anyway.

I mainly care about max CAS 5 & possibly 6 if it's enough of an increase over CAS 5.

Don't care about CAS 4 at all TBH.

I've never tried cas6, but at your suggestion, I will.
Look out Everest!!!

[EliTE22]

Does it matter?

so your holding out on us (JK)

anyways we'll find out soon enough

[PaRn ssR]

Thank you.

I haven't been on icq for at least 4 years i guess but i do use msn often, please pm me so we can have a chat.

I have tested at what voltages i could get DDR1000 4-4-4-12 and DDR1200 5-5-5-18 stable so far, here's what i got:





I tried DDR1050 4-4-4-12 but could not even get DDR1030 4-4-4 fully stable with reasonable voltages, also didn't manage to get DDR1250 5-5-5 with low voltage.

I ran out of time testing so maybe both are possible with some tweaking, also haven't tried Cas 6 yet.

The black PCB looks very sexy IMHO:

[SpuTnicK]

Where the hell did you get ocz blades with black pcb? It shuod be green, at least that is what the OCZ shows.

Yeah! Probably those are the one's for testing and reviews....not for retail...

first batch to germany was black pcb
lets pray green pcb batch is good

Tony mentioned the German market has a particular fondness for the Black PCBs so those on sale there feature it, rather than the Green variety.
The kits available at Overclockers (UK) also feature the Black PCB (despite the photo on the website showing it to be Green).
They've also just put the PC2-9200 LV Blades up for pre-order.

[Zeus]

I'm not German but i got 'm from Alternate.nl, they have a store in Germany too, maybe that's why?

I'm not complaining though as i like black a lot better.
