Core i7 Vdimm/VTT Graveyard :D

its setting uncore voltage aka vtt to 1.75v by default? damn!


hmmm isnt that kingston 2000 mem micron based?
if yes then it needs more juice to get higher i think.
1.9-2.1 is usually the sweet spot for micron above that is where it stops scaling well, unles you have a really nice set of course..

1.65, and yeah, the XMP profile sets that, i run at 1.5v for 4ghz+ uclk benching seems stable enough without pushing too far.

Kingston said they're most likely Elpida though I wouldn't be surprised if it was Micron, I'm not going to risk ripping off the ICs again though. I'm convinced that R2E is the reason why these sticks aren't clocking well. I just put a patriot kit through the paces for a review and had the same limitations, only about 100mhz OC max on 1.8v where others have gotten 200+ at stock. I have put these sticks through 2.04v with no gain. tightened timings are a no go, they get 1800 at cl8 max. Hopefully I'll get to fool around with a gigabyte board soon.

I should finally be getting my system up this sunday for it's first paces on air before hitting it with water and putting it in a MM duality modded for horizontal MB.,

I am glad that the bla kingston ram you talked about before might be the board, I can't wait to see what it will do on the Gig X58 Ex, it should be fun, but man i need to read about all the settings, not like a 775 i guess

tried over 100 hours testing/bench
I7 965 retail
Vqpi: 1.60/8
Vdimm: 2.00/04

what kit did you get? if you have clip-on hs would you mind checking the chips for me?
It's actually very very similar to 775. not much of a learning curve. really only about 3 voltages to manipulate
