CellShock DDR3-1800 8-7-6-21 Testing!

[BenchZowner]

tCL 8 doesn't seem to go a lot higher than 7. But I'm not gonna say I'm 100% sure, because I'm not. More testing to be done soon.
2070 C7 is 3D Marks & AquaMark 3 stable, and also Spi 8M stable
That's with 2.3V exactly.

tCL6 on Striker II Extreme sucks balls.
You've seen my sticks running Pi32M @ DDR3-1800+... yet, on the S2E even DDR3-1768 is unstable... not even a complete Pi 4M run.
Looks like a BIOS or mem ctrlr issue.

Just did a quick test on previously tested ( the second day ) settings ( the ones I had a screenshot available, my notes are a big mess here ) to make sure that they didn't degrade by benching at 2.20V+ ( up to 2.32V ) regularly.
And they didn't

hmmmm well id guess your limited by the board/mem controller... maybe a pll mod like the one raja on anandtech did will help you

from the memory, you should be able to run 150mhz more with cas8, at the same voltage and stability, compared to cas7. if you get a smaller boost from cas8, then im pretty sure its the chipset/board limiting in almost all of those cases.

well, on all 790 boards, right?
kinda weird... cause 790 seems to be tweaked for maximum perf at low mem clocks... yet it doesnt work well with cas6 at all...
but with those cas7 results, who would complain

You're talking about the S2E right ?

Can't tell for sure, because I've only tried them on the S2E.
eVGA EU was going to send me a 790i but my contact went AWOL suddenly.

yeah, but the 150mhz difference from cas7 to cas8 is board unrelated. its what ive seen on all boards, sometimes even 200Mhz from cas7 to cas8...

welcome to the club

welcome to the club

I join

would have liked to test 790...but well...

OMG, Guys. My PC can be faster and cheaper than yours with DDR3.
Xeon E3110@500x8@1,232V


4-4-4-4@1000MHz@2,1V

4-4-4-3@1000MHz@2,1V

[BenchZowner]

Not really m8.
Your bandwidth & latencies are way lower than good DDR3 results.
However in most real-life apps there's no difference in performance between DDR3-2000 7-6-5-21 and DDR3-1333 9-9-9-31 and DDR2-800 5-5-5-15... so once again, faster depends on what you mean.

Compare the results!

[WaterFlex]

I set performance level from 10 to 8. Still 2,1V.
Now, i have faster ram and less latency=50.
My PC is better than yours

Let's feed the trolls..



My third rig pwns your main rig!

[BenchZowner]

Don't feed the troll man.
Next time he craps the thread he's getting reported.

[funkflix]

Sorry, but i couldn't resist..

Why are you so angry...
The only thing i try to understand is does DDR3 worth its money?
I think until DDR3 will not work @2000@5-5-5-15 (for example) it doesn`t worth it. What do you think about it ?

You are continuously posting Everest Bandwidth tests with a DDR2 kit that you have.
You claim that you're getting better scores with your DDR2 kit than we do with DDR3 which is not true.
I and lots of people with DDR3 can reach 12000Mb/s easily with DDR3.

I've told you in my previous post that in real-life a system with DDR2 against the same system but with DDR3 instead will perform equally.
So, if you were wondering if DDR3 is worth it for normal everyday usage, you already have the answer, it does not worth it.

Now, please stop pissing people off by posting "nonsense" stuff.
This is a thread about CellShock's DDR3 kit, not about piss poor DDR2 vs DDR3 flame wars.

[AlfaBoy]

sorry but i could not resist, but with ddr3 i can get more bandwidth than 10k or 11k, i don't understand what is our problem do you think you are more smart than other people

were is some result with Maximus extreme + blue cell shock 1866 + Q6600 and it's very easy to get 12k

[BenchZowner]

Guys please drop it.
Everybody knows pretty much how big the DDR3 scores in everest are...

Let's get back on topic please.

[Gautam]

Show us s'more of that 1000+ C7 sexiness Bill and everyone will forget about Everest as anything more than a mountain.

[BenchZowner]

Will do m8.
I'll purchase some E8500's this weekend ( yeah, looking for a good chip once again ) and hopefully get some high FSBs out of the Striker II Extreme to "take advantage" of the CL7 overclocking capabilities of the CellShock kit & the nF790i Ultra SLI memory controller

I'll give the E8400 a final shot later on, but it doesn't look like it's going to get well over 540MHz FSB on the S2E

[Gautam]

Got any reference boards on hand? I had the same experience with S-II. I've got a couple of chips that do 585-590 under LN2 on the right reference board and about 560 on air. On the striker ii they only did 550 stable under LN2 (never tried air, but it seemed like temperature didn't affect it) and wouldn't even POST at 560.

[BenchZowner]

Oh.
I should've bought a P5E64 WS Evolution already to check the chips max FSB.
I'll check the new chips on various boards ( and also try to get a eVGA 790i as well ).

Imagine this RAM at DDR3-2070 7-7-6-21 1T most ( nearly all ) sub-timings at minimum and FSB 550/600



This is at Linked/Synched mode with the FSB ( low FSB damn it )

oh come on!
his arent even good by ddr2 standards though

Damn, I must be getting old.

Somebody tell me why I used 7-7-6-21 when my RAM is capable of 7-6-6-21 at even higher frequencies ?
