Anyone know if you can still get the Micron based Animals? I live in Australia, but Id pay top dollar for them.

Thanks
Pete

yeah non in Australia heh

I needed to buy some inexpensive spare memory when I came across this thread. I purchased the Blade 2000 Elpida Hyper a few weeks before the withdrawal and sure enough one of the sticks died almost immediately. OCZ was very nice and quickly offered me Blade 2133 CAS 8 as replacement. Unfortunately they are little bit late to market and I'm still waiting. In the mean time I've been using a dual channel kit from my old Nvidia 790i mobo but they are not possible to OC with only 1.65v.

Anyway I discovered this thread and decided to try the Animal. No shops here in Sweden had them but I found out that Amazon in Germany stocks them for EUR 122 (now 111). With little bit help from Google translator I was able to order a kit. The total price with sales tax and ground delivery was eventually EUR 136 which is a very good price for 2000+ CAS9 memory.

Right now I have the memory at 1840 MHz 8-8-8-24-74-1T @ 1.67v LinX/Prime95 Blend stable. I've tried different combinations of CAS7 at the same speed but I can't boot into BIOS.

I'm very happy with the purchase. Thanks eva2000 for bringing this memory to my attention.

Glad I could help and congrats on being able to still find these animal kits in retail as they seem to have dried up heh

thanks for the nice naked shot confirmation

as to vdimm who knows, my set have optimal vdimm range on i7/x58 between 1.74-1.84v higher doesn't necessarily mean better

OCZ3P1333LVA6GK 'Animals' CAS8 Overclocking continued....
Improved on previous max 8-8-8-24 1T clocks of DDR3-1997Mhz validation and DDR3-1954Mhz for Super Pi 32M at 1.70v. Managed validation @DDR3-2080Mhz 8-8-8-24 1T at 1.76v and Super Pi 32M @DDR3-1990Mhz 8-8-8-24 1T at 1.76v (seems 200bclk with DDR3-2000Mhz gets 5-10 errors on test #5 loop in memtest86+ v2.11).

Interesting thing is BACK To BACK CAS# Delay subtiming optimal values for this clock are either 4 or 8. AUTO, 6, and 10 result in less stability for these memory modules.

@DDR3-2080Mhz 8-8-8-24 1T at 1.76v





@DDR3-1990Mhz 8-8-8-24 1T at 1.76v
