High voltage lovin voltmaster, pics , specs , release date

[cantankerous]

It seems the NFII tests aren't going to happen. Perhaps someone here with an NFII who purchases these sticks could run a few tests?

[TEDY]

i'll get them asap excalberpc gets them

[cantankerous]

hopefully they will do the same or better than your BH sticks. If so I am thinking of selling my BH-6 for these.

[ryanpgroovy]

I will try and find a NF 2 that will handle the voltage , but try and remeber NF2 with 2x512 was never really a ram problem but instead a memory controller problem, so if you have BH-5 I am not sure upgrading to these is the right path


I will give it a whirl though

[saaya]

those ridiculously low dollar prices are making hardware so cheap to import now
i love it!

[SteveOCZ]

could you do a few benches with looser timings and fsb above 280 (939 dual channel please ?

They don't clock higher with looser timings so there isn't much point.

I should have some NF 2 results at high voltage for you guys early next week unless someone else gets to it first

[cantankerous]

Thanks a lot Ryan. I appreciate it. I understand about the chipset being limited however I am still curious. Second of all I am wanting to go 939 but am not happy with the current board selection. As soon as DFI releases their board I may jump the gun. I figured having the ram now would save me down the road as long as they can at least keep up to my 2 x 512mb kit on my current board until then. I am worried of yields changing and getting crappier chips or no chips down the road if things change.

There are things we can do about it , and we will .

I want to note I did find a really good store in The UK that seems to price things more reasonably

ebuyer got one of the worst reseller ratings and reputations ever :/

Got some Mushkin BH-5 instead :[

that would rock..DFI NF2 ?

3.35V as before. My CPU doesn't run well with 2 sticks of ram no matter what I use I can't get over 250FSB with a gig of ram. But as you saw nutcase was able to do 270 with 2x512 2-2-2- timings

blander can we please get some bandwidth shots

no problem

2t?

Exactly the same situation here, so any results would be good.

2t?

yes it's @2T
1T max is 240-245mhz with 2x512mb

[cantankerous]

yack 240-245 isn't nearly as good was I was hoping for. When these actually hit the market I hope to see lots of postings on performance. Again it seems like a lot inconsistency on what these chips can do.

hmmm just noticed.... this was on a NF3 150 board? Perhaps that has something to do with it?

[KuRi]

Is this the voltmaster memory?

notice, the result was with bh-5

Here's a couple teasers from an I875P Canterwood platform (P4C800-E, OCZ Booster & OCZ 520W PSU used):

oops sorry about that blander.

[Pomme]

you americans are lucky

i bet in belgium we have to wait until 2007 before they are available and pay 5000000 euro for it ;D

yes

[Arnar]

Talking about ridicules prices.. in Iceland 2x512mb OCZ 3700EB costed 650$..
But all computer prices here are 50% higher here.. So high taxes and so on :|

So I do most of my business with the USA

[I_Am_ToO_SeXy]

most likely not too good, they seem to suck at intel

unfortunately all the rams i saw max out on an AMD rig

Netburst Architecture can't push the rams to their max :\
