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

They do look awesome

Unfortunately I haven't found anybody in Australia stocking these yet

Cheers

I will ask if the disty's are pushing it thru for you

Thanks.

Appreciate your good work -

Abit AN8 32X with BigToe mod BIOS
DFI Lanparty UT nF4 SLI-D with 704bta

Cheers

EDIT: are the Platinum 4GB (2x2048) D/C Kit PN - OCZ2P1066LV4GK likely to have similar potential to the Blade LV DDR kits?

**Tony** · 05-12-2009, 06:34 AM

yes its just a change of heatspreader

So you aren't using a higher bin for the Blade series? Is this correct?

I agree this ram is awesome but i'm not sure if it's better than Micron D9 in terms of overclocking limits.

I tried further with resonable voltage but i could not get DDR1250 5-5-5-15 or anything over DDR1030 4-4-4-12 stable at 1.94V, something D9 is easily capable of with volts. (>2.3V)

As the Asus boards tend to overvolt the ram i did not try higher volts though.

If this ram does not degrade like D9 over time this is very very good stuff for AMD setups, like you said plug and play.

What is the max voltage this ram will take Tony?

Earlier in the thread he told me that above 1.9v didn't give much... but I suppose 2.1v should be very very safe 24/7 a few years since its DDR2.

**Tony** · 05-12-2009, 01:14 PM

2V or higher and this memory gets seriously hot...not worth the effort.

I have 80+GB DDR2 and out of everything i have here this stuff rocks...regards it clocking over 1250...i have reports of 1333 on P45 systems so the issue for us with Phenom2 is Phenom2's memory controller or the boards themselves.

Remember around 100 will try to do 1333, 1000 may do 1200 but 10k+ will do 1066 and for that this memory is seriously good.

**Caveman787** · 05-12-2009, 02:50 PM

Have to ask it but were these just a run of the mill batch or were they cherry picked?

and can above 1066 be done with 8gb on a phenom II with these?

If there gonna be $50 and clock like youve shown even even in a 4x2 seup and an amd system they'll be most likely the best value on the market for the ddr2 overclockers.

**Tony** · 05-12-2009, 03:13 PM

Mine are unheatspreadered production samples, hence I can not show piccies. I showed 8GB 1066 with 1.65V back a few posts BUT remember the boards have to be tuned to do 8GB 1066+ also.

The DFI was always a board that would do it for me, where the MSI SB600 would never do it...1040 was the limit.

Regards $50...no idea, i know they are 50ish GBP here in the UK, but we always pay more here

**AgentGOD** · 05-12-2009, 07:43 PM

Hmm, looks like the new product clocks way better than my 8 GB Reapers

Still looking for them in the US.

Anyone finds them let me know

**radaja** · 05-13-2009, 05:12 AM

me too.i check each and everyday with no joy yet

**BertM** · 05-13-2009, 05:14 AM

i ordered the blades.
needed to upgrade to 4gb anyways.

funny how they are only available in germany, netherlands and italy for now.

**Tony** · 05-13-2009, 05:38 AM

Guys stock in stores now is from 1st shipment and is not rebinned...you stand a chance of getting awesome modules. I just looked on OCZ and they have now started binning the IC's for 1150 and 1200 at 1.8V, so it you want modules you know will do 1200 get the new 9600 Blades

I had the German sales stock them ASAP as I know the German OC'ers like Reaper 1066 etc and I feel these are better.

thats why you see them early from this region...German sales+Tony=get OC'ers what they want

That's true, OCZ memory is VERY popular in Germany!

But only with a black PCB, right Tony?

Well, after what you said about OCZ binning them higher, I should be getting the 1066 Blade on Friday. Looking forward to testing them!

**tool_462** · 05-13-2009, 07:21 AM

I will buy the first 2 sets of 1066 I see and report back

**Tony** · 05-13-2009, 07:50 AM

I still think the 1066 will do ok but you may need 1.87 or 1.89 over 1.85 etc to do 1200, they will just bin the highest spec modules with the lowest voltages.

So its no great loss...you may just have to add a tiny amount of extra voltage.

yes we brought the black PCB in just for the Germans...issue now is everyone likes them

all good though

**tool_462** · 05-13-2009, 08:00 AM

Well I've got this fancy OCZ ram cooler and I'm not scared of voltage so I'll put 8GB to the tests on the UD3P

Will be a short front page review on www.xcpus.com if I can find a set soon

2.0V gained me nothing but heat, 1.93ish was the max on 4 of the 6 modules I have here...

Tiny steps here, 1.85 to 1.86 may be the difference from unstable to stable

**Caveman787** · 05-13-2009, 11:35 AM

gah come on Tony make it so they don't speed bin those 1200 1.8v beasts are going to be like $200 probably. So much for the insane potential overclocking you showed us.

I would think since this heatspreader is heavy and supposed to cool well then 2.0v shouldn't produce much heat.
