• 128MB Gainward FX5200 PCI
• Asus 680i Striker Extreme rev1.0 0402 bios
• 2GB OCZ PC8000 Titanium Alpha VX2 (Updated SPD)
• 1x 160GB Seagate 7200.7 SATA NCQ on SATA2 port
• Pioneer DVR-05 DVD Burner
• 600W OCZ EvoStream Modular Power supply

compared with E6600 ran with 2.5v vdimm (bios set)

@628mhz 5-4-3-4 with tRD 5


@640mhz 5-4-3-4 with tRD AUTO


Tight timings seem to always win

Holy moly Eva, 5-3-3-at 600mhz....very nice

[ozzimark]

680i's memory controller sure is an interesting beast

[zakelwe]

What's it do 3-3-3 1T max or tighter ?

Regards

Andy

[DEVIL K-ce]

Hi Eva

Can You test this set for max CL3 1T and CL 1T ?

Thank's

Regards

Oh WoW ! 600Mhz 5-3-3-5 ,Nice Result

[Hutch]

Whoa... Impressive... Refresh rate of 7,8? I thought all 1GB sticks were 15,6? more stability at 15,6 too

[eva2000]

Thanks guys... with old spd seem to top out 450-457mhz 1T regardless of timings used.. will try with the updated SPD.

Of note is all above was done within modules rated max warrantied vdimm of 2.52v (well close to within if you take Asus PC ProbeII's readings)

[kemo]

Really impressive Eva nice work

[andyOCZ]

Hot damn eva, good job on the OC!

[eva2000]

Thanks trying to find a nice balance of lower vdimm and memory timings/memtest reported bandwidth.. for 600mhz 5-3-3-5 at 2.5v memtest showed around 5486MB/s for 533mhz 4-3-3-4 at 2.35-2.4v showed around 5044-5208MB/s depending on how tight sub timings are.

Wow!.. mighty impressive sticks Eva!...
wow wow...
bin lvl is so high...

[eva2000]

well this is on Asus 680i striker so clock higher with tighter timings that on 965P/975x

[syne_24]

eva, how stable can you get with cas4 @ 600?

[eva2000]

eva, how stable can you get with cas4 @ 600?

With old SPD not possible of cas4 with 600mhz at 2.5v or under can get to around 566-575mhz but and won't be trying higher vdimm since I'd like to keep my modules a bit longer

[Stapler]

How does changing the SPD change the performance of the ram?

[eva2000]

Honestly that would beyond my knowledge... heh

[andyOCZ]

How does changing the SPD change the performance of the ram?

The SPD was just updated to better suit the Intel chipset. Only the engineer would know for sure what was changed and how it works. I won't even pretend I know.

[Stapler]

Haha, I like your answers, thanks for the info Andy.

An old Bluesman that I used to play with once told me "A man must know his limitations". How true!

I totally agree

eva....awesome results mate
