A short story behind Corsair Dominator @ DDR3-2462 CL9

[bachus_anonym]

On the first bench you used vPLL = 2.30v for max frequency, on the 4hrs of Orthos, much less, it doesn't seem to have that big influence ?!

For 600FSB+ brute force of high PLL was necessary in order to boot from BIOS, and into Windows. At 533FSB, AUTO PLL (1.83v when measured) was plenty enough, and could go down to 1.56-1.60v without loosing stability. For 550FSB ORTHOS, I just left it alone at AUTO.

i did some testing last night on these new sticks

far out man >>> this ram kicks arse

and not just CAS9 fellas
i'm talking about CAS8 and CAS7 as well

I'm very glad, Dino! I hope to see your results soon. What are you running them on - 790i. X48 or P45? Thanks!

Where did you get bios 503? for me 402 sucks so much.

ASUS, of course. From my experience, currently official 0401 is a very good BIOS. I'm sure I don't have to tell you anything as you've been already running high speeds on X48, but stick with 0401 for now, and play with CPU GTL Ref as well as skewing signals. It's a solid BIOS, and a lot can be acomplished on this motherboard without any hardware modifications at all

Skewing signals per DIMM implemented in 0503 is mainly an attempt to figure out how far 4-up configuration could be pushed on this motherboard, but also improving stability of A1 & B1 DIMM sockets (orange ones) at very high frequencies. There is good indication it might help...
