High voltage lovin voltmaster, pics , specs , release date

[cantankerous]

so ryan, what are the expected results from this scanned batch on a64 if the intel platform is 240?

[ryanpgroovy]

As far as I can tell we only test them in house to 2-2-2 240 on a64 @ 3.3 volts , looks like the ones that fail at that get put into a batch for restesting for a value product

Seems as eva says these also need to be burned in .

Ryan.

I'm gonna post up 280MHz @ 2-2-2-10 with 3.6VDIMM on Thursday. If not, expect a PM from me regarding the OCZ RMA protocol.

I think he was j/k

[conrad.maranan]

I think he was j/k

I was just kidding and so was Ryan. We've already exchanged PMs and prayers for everyone planning to purchase their VX kits tomorrow.

Good luck to everyone! I look forward to seeing screenshots galore of high frequencies at 2-2-2-x.

Cheers!

[Tek]

Okay, my bad

Ryanpgroove - Will there be an option besides the PC3200 kit?

[ryanpgroovy]

We might do 256s , besides that not likely

[Orker]

Any idea when these will be available in Australia? i hate waited longer than everyone else

[Hardwarefreak]

These oc-results are really impressive. I am looking forward receiving this memory soon. I hope my memory will obtain the same results



Besides, this is the link to the reseller in Austria (we've just one reseller )
http://www.xtremesystems.at/index.php/cPath/94_28_123


OCZ PC3200 Rev. - 2 2x512MB
345,55€ = 345,55x1,3 = 448,50 US-$

I hope you can do something against it!

[conrad.maranan]

I doubt the OCZ guys are going to confirm this, but it sure is nice to speculate.

ProMOS 5B Chips + Brainpower PCB = OCZ PC-3200EL Gold VX

If this is the case, there are a few other manufacturers that have already been using these voltage-loving chips on their modules.

EDIT:
If you recently purchased a set of PQI Turbo modules, I'd like to know if you were able to run in the 240MHz to 260MHz range with 3.3VDIMM or more.

[Nanobot]

Huh...The only ICs i see in the link that are rated for 3.3 are SDR chips @143-166Mhz ?!!

[conrad.maranan]

You'll have to read this to learn more.

[iboomalot]

how much difference would the new VX ram be compared to my EB if both were ran at 3.2v+ ???

reason I ask right now at 3-3-2 the EB does OK on my asus which is voltage limited but if I went to a NEO plat. mobo and OCZ booster I could put more voltage to my EB and lower timings to 3-2-2 and up my FSB into the 260-270 mhz range, maybe even 290mhz **crosses fingers**

so at 260-270 mhz will the VX be able to hit 2-2-2 ?? and will lowering the CAS from 3 to 2 make that large a difference???

thanks for your reply.

I have PQI PC3200 Turbo modules, when I had them in my Max3, I noticed they were more stable at 3.2v then anything. I'm getting a DDR booster tomorrow or Wednesday, so I'll do some more testing then.

Please check to see the highest frequency you can run 2-2-2-x and at what voltage. I'm still going to purchase the VX modules tomorrow, but if the PQIs are running the same chips, I'm picking up a couple of gigs and stashing them considering they're priced very nice.

[Nanobot]

Looks like the cat's out of the bag

All of this because the two dimples on the IC gave them away...

[conrad.maranan]

We've got to admit that Sentential did some mighty fine investigative/detective work. I give him props for being very resourceful and persistent.

THeres is no way you will get those ram settings with a neo2 plat.. If you are referring to the same mobo as mine then let it be known.. this board doesnt like EB

Im deciding on whether to get Rev2 or VX.. prolly VX

Wow, nice find . Let's see some guys testing it all out

[ryanpgroovy]

I would like to know if Promos does 240-250 2-2-2 @ 3.3 volts also.

Any one with OCZ Premier series been hitting those speeds ;-)


Edit : Let me try and be as clear as possible , we have seen no benefit to running promos at high voltages. VX does not use promos chips.

Thats why I have been buggin about the chips
Those 5B ProMos / Mosel Vitelic chips can be found from various manufacturer products. Don´t know if they clock that high, but I´m definately going to try them out

[nutcase]

ok.. I switched over to my DFI LP UT..

DFI LP UT NF3 w 4V Bios..
Newcastle 3200+ @ 268x10
1 512Mb PC3200 VX Gold @ 2-2-2-0, 1T and 3.6V
rest same as before...

[STEvil]

updated my inital post with more bench results.
