CSX DDR3 arrived: Diablo 2000MHz & CEC 1333MHz kits first look

[Achill3uS]

P45 (P5Q3 Deluxe) and X48 (Rampage Extreme)

[jcool]

Rams that say what chips are under the hood? I love it. Gonna use the 2x2GB DDR3-2000 kit for all highend builds now, price tag is really ok for what they can do.
One question, do you think 4x2GB would work on a Striker 2 Extreme? Provided pimped-up cooling and lots of vNB of course

Are there any retailers in the UK that will be stocking this?

4x2GB works, but needs high Vnb. I received Samsungs too. Might compare D9GTR vs Samsung IC's this weekend. Yes, exactly, what you see is what you get. Most manufacturers use various IC's for same kit, so customer can ce upset when reading one review with old IC's, and receiving kit with other IC's that won't clock that good. What comes to cooling, even with 2.1Vdimm heatspreaders stay very cool.

Specialtech will recieve stock soon.

Specialtech will recieve stock soon.

Nice, I like specialtech

guys i dont like to tell some bad things, this memory is cheap for GTR, but sadly clocks quite poor... cant even hit 1800mhz stable at cas7 or cas8 in P45 in the 1.90v-2.10v range...
it seems the ES kit with JNL was much better... but its only my first impressions, and only one kit...

[Kasparz]

Thats P45, not memory.

[Achill3uS]

will see in X48, but you must know i have other kits at home with GTS, and in this P45 could do 1900 cas7 memtest stable results, so im not sure in it mate

[Kasparz]

I have tested a lot retail D9GTR kits, and every one of them clocked very high. If it can't clock at 2GHz 8-7-6-19 with ~2.0-2.05Vdimm, then there's definitely something wrong with other hardware. On P5Q3 you might want to play more carefully with skews and all these settings that improve DRAM overclocking. Also newest BIOS is a must. I tested P5Q3 Deluxe some time ago, and hit 2GHz stable with some tweaking. Without tweaking it can barely do 2GHz suicide. What i really want to test tomorrow is Samsung vs D9GTR and voltage scaling on Samsung.

Ya I was talking about mobo NB cooling
Anyway, thanks for letting me know 4x2GB works.
Just updated our HighEnd and Super HighEnd systems to use CSX Diablos

@ kasparz

are you shipping to Manila Philippines?

thanks

[Kasparz]

No, unfortunately our shop is local yet.

Yes, please try x48

[Kasparz]

GTR kit on Striker II XTR 2GHz 8-7-6-19 stable at minimum voltage of 1.90(BIOS set).
OCZ ReaperX kit with GTN needs 2.0-2.02Vdimm at same settings stable.
Will update with results.
813 HCH9 samsungs can do 2GHz, but not stable yet. Will keep testing.

[Chri$ch]

got today my P5Q3 Deluxe and 2GB CSX Diablo DDR3-2000 (D9GTR)...

max clocks for now, will try later more

SuperPi 1M (600x7 / 1000Mhz 8-7-6-19)


Everest Mem. & Cache Bench. (610x7 / 1016Mhz 8-7-6-19)


Max FSB

[F.stop]

nice start

[Chri$ch]

cant change the command rate

[Kasparz]

Glad you worked things out with this board.
And I'm afraid to say this is first 32M pass at P5Q3 at 2GHz memfrequency in public.
Keep pushing it!

[Achill3uS]

finally i have some good news too, on X48 this kit begins to fly really nice, so all of my bad feelings was gone, but my P5Q3 results are still really weird with them...



btw 1800 7-6-5-18 also 32M and memtest stable at 2.00v

Chri$ch could you share your GTL settings for 500 fsb 1:2 32M pls?

Kasparz you are talking about your Striker II XTR results, but 790i runs cant compare to another intel chipsets my opinion...

[Kasparz]

Well mate, glad to see you get these stable at 2GHz too. Can you flash SPD with XMP and test if both 1866MHz/2GHz XMP profiles works stable on Rampage Extreme without messing with any settings in bios?
GTL settings are not universal, they depends on what PSU you use, even what revision board/what fab(for asus ch/tw) it is manufactured. So this is trial and error process. I have P5E3 Deluxe to test later on.

[TheKarmakazi]

Any more updates about U.S. availability? I am eager for these sticks? What will U.S. price be like?

[slim142]

Here is another one like Karmakazi, is there any store that will sell it in the US soon?

[SmokeyTheBandit]

A brief test of the 4GB kit

This is a very nice kit ..... the blackops will not let me go to 2t but for the 3 hours i have been testing this isn't that bad
