System Configuration;
Intel QX6850 ES
Asus P5K3-D
OCZ DDR3 1800 Platinum Series
Enermax Galaxy 1000w
Vapochill LS -44c
EVGA 8800 Ultra
8K BTU blast AC
In my benches I am pushing on the edge with excessive cooling. Voltages are for benching only, extended use is not recommended. I pushed to the maximum of 2.25v allowed in bios for all benches below.
DDR3 is here and with the next generation DDR3 platforms approaching fast, most of you will all be wondering the same thing. What is the best DDR3? As of right now I have sampled many of the flavors offered with little reason to push when I had a superior DDR2 part until now.
The latest DDR3 part by OCZ are Micron Z9 binned at 1800Mhz, they are very flexable in timing. I could adjust from 5-3-3-15-1t @ 1Ghz to 7-7-7-15-2t just under 2Ghz these are a dream to work with when testing all settings for that extra bit of performance.
I use an 8K BTU AC unit to chill the case, excessive cooling is used when pushing for world record results.
I played around with 1T, I couldn't beat my max speed benches so I didn't a battery of tests with this setting.
With the QX6850 quad core processor bus limits I am able to reach the rated speed of the memory pretty easy. I should be able to hit a much higher bus speed once I switch over to a dual core CPU.
Yes, 4.8Ghz on the Vapo
I plan on revisiting Sandra with dual core.

4.7Ghz 766/1254
DDR3 has major potential with less voltage. As advertised, the product delivers at the rated speed with ease and exceeds expectations with every new speed and timing combination discovered.
The Asus P5K3-D has the ability to change the FSB strap from 333 to the lower 266 and 200 options. I did test at 266 but I found that having the ability to run at higher Mhz defeated the option of the tighter bus strap.
Many thanks OCZ
OCZ has done it again with this build of Z9 memory.
