DFI 790FX-M2R +955 worky just fine ;-)

Been playing: http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/fo...d=1#post381860

Got some new Blade LV1066 to test also...

Not got anything newer from DFi so thought I would have a go and see what I could get from the old girl, fact is its pretty awesome for a simple CPU upgrade.

Issues i found.

VID over 1.45V would cause BSOD...maybe my CPU
ram clocking is different with 955 and this beta bios, old modules doing 1066 easy before now do not...but I tyweaked at 800 to be just as fast.

temps are way off, no way does this CPu idle at 17C LOL

[Oese]

that board really shines with the latest biosses

[Tony]

Now I love this memory...I will say it again...I LOVE IT!!!

[Tony]

1150MHZ 1.8V not finished yet either

[Oese]

nice chips there^^

[shadow_419]

Wow very nice timings and great volts. Why are they rated as 2.1v for those timings. Do you just get a great set or are these representative?

[over@locker886]

Nice! How works CL4?

[Tony]

testing cas4 later...1233 now 1.85V...memtest stable..infact to easy

they were binned on Intel boards...im on an AMD board.

Who looks at voltages anyway? i don't...if I get 1066 at 1.5V thats where I run it

True, but when I'm shopping for ram i look for quality ram within my budget and preferably with lower voltage requirements. I'm air cooling only so the less heat I can introduce into the case the better overall oc I can get.

what chips are those? 1233 @ 1.85v is awsome...

[Tony]

so 1066 at 1.7V suits you then?

side note got carried away with NB clock and 1250..XP booooom gone

will try cas4 next

now its a new product....there is NO WAY I am going to tell you now is there LOL

1250 was at 1.9V...not sure if the board or the ram was the issue as it totally corrupted a whole SSD drive...which kinds leads me to the board.

Anyway...1200 ish 1.85V I think is doable...maybe more with some uber XS tweaking.

haha

When debating ddr2 vs. ddr3 for my new cpu, I probably would have looked at ddr2 platform a lot longer if I thought i could get ram that's running like yours. Most kits for cas 5 1066 were 1.9v-2.1v and the bulk were in the 2-2.1v group. I would have been drooling for ddr2 that could run upwards of 1066 under 2v. I'll tell you what, I'll be recommending those to anyone that's asking about ddr2 that's for sure.

haha, not far from DDR2 JEDEC Nice work Tony! I wait your CL4 results..

;-)

cool

[Smartidiot89]

OMFG nice RAM modules... What are these expected to cost man?

[Tony]

And here is my final push cas5...1.85V has me happy be carefull with HT speed up here, running 1:1 with the NB may have been my issues.

[richierich]

wow very nice

[charged3800z24]

Yes, very impressive. I am running 7.7.7.7 23 1.7v 1600mhz on MEM right now. I wonder if I can get mine like yours......

[Tony]

Mines DDR2 M8...you are running DDR3

[charged3800z24]

Mines DDR2 M8...you are running DDR3

Now I am even more impressed. My DDR2 modules would never run like those LOL

[cbjaust]

Is Linpack the new "black" for memory stability testing in windows?

Cheers

[Lightman]

WOW!
Tony, I will send you my OCZ Reaper 2x2GB and you will send me OCZ Blade! Deal?
