Yesterday I simply couldn't fall asleep so I decided to overclock some memory. As I was really suprised that DFI published at last new beta BIOS (12.05) which sharped compability with Micron D9 stuff :thumbup:
Firstly, I have started overclocking with a new beautiful, glossing OCZ Alpha Titanium VX PC8000 4-4-4-15 by default![]()
New revision uses black eight layer PCB (not BrainPower) and is more resistant from voltage damage :drool:
Although, new D9 GMH are created only for CL5, especially OCZ stuff, this set clocks quiet well with CL4![]()
So let's start this play with CL4
560 MHz 4-4-4-12 @ 2.35v
575 MHz 4-4-4-12 @ 2.47v
600 MHz 4-4-4-12 @ 2.65v
These OCZ sticks are surely the best set of OCZ memory which I've ever had.
Orthos
My favourite memory "burning" application :thumbup: Stress Prime 2004 "Orthos" (priority set to "9").
616 MHz 5-5-5-15 @ 2.14vI think, it's quiete cute

640 MHz 5-5-5-15 @ 2.27v I like this score. I goaled to achieve "650" MHz stable but... ehh everywhere are obstaclesThis is (640 MHz for memory) absolute MAX stable for my Blood Iron.
To be continued... CL5 again
675 MHz 5-5-5-15 @ 2.62v (so high voltage don't needed indeed)
One step further... 680 MHz 5-5-5-5-15 @ 2.62v
I was convinced that it's absolute MAX - 685 5-5-5-15
691 5-5-5-15 @ 2.69v stress
This result is really nice. I like it entirelyMy brave-hearted Blood Iron achieved it's max once more :drool: (It shall also do it with ~ 2.6 -2.64v max)
Max screen and that's all for dual channel with this mobo. Now I am waiting for selected board - LP P35 UT, which is much better than budget Blood IronBut, summing up, new bios for Blood Iron have done some good work - better compability, better OC and less troubles than ago :nod:
The end...
(really?)
And the last result for today - with G.skill HZ PC6400 2x1 GB (new week, green pcb). With old bios on DFI they were capable of doing only ~ 565 MHz, regardless for latences

630 MHz 4-4-4-5 + strict alphas.
1) I am waiting for better board and I am going to achieve MORE... and I am also waiting for OCZ Reapers PC9200 2x1 GB :nod:
2) For HZ's, this result isn't max because with CL5 it overclocks also to only 630 MHz
3) DFI is great motherboard, but especially hard to stabilize
4) I think it's quiet good set of OCZ D9 stuff :thumbup:
