OCZ 8500 Low-Voltage Blade

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 always thought you liked a more thorough and scientific approach to memory overclocking. I included CL4 because it is still what many people run and can compare to these sticks. Everyone can raise the voltage and setFSB them up for a quick validation.... Maybe I will do that later on too, but since this kit is so new I intended to generate a base line of results for everyone clocking this kit.

If you want to see CL5 so badly, I'll skip CL4-5-5-15 now and test CL5-5-5-18....

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

My Blade's PCB is black too, I wrote that in my first post!

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

This is not a review-sample, it's a retail kit!

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

I think all of them have black PCBs.

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.

I bought my kit from alternate too, as they were the first to get shipment of these kits. Their headquarter is just 5 minutes from where I work!



Added CL4-4-4-12 results and first CL5, not final result for 1.80V!
