OCZ 8500 Low-Voltage Blade

[-n7-]

you wrong there your gskills are powerchips they scale 2.1v max and they dont get hot

G.Skill Pi 2x2 GB DDR2-1100 aren't PSC.

They are ProMOS (obviously much lower binned than the 1200s)

tks
i wish i knew before had a chance to get a few sets cheap

I have the G-Skill PI 8800's and I can confirm they are absolutely not the same. My max clock with them at performance level 8 was 1130mhz (1170mhz with PL9), and the OCZ Blades do 1261mhz with that. Massive difference.

PL has nothing to do with the ram, it's a Northbridge latency setting.

I see there is quite a lot of you that got this ram. Enought with talking ... just post more result . Primarly I wanna know how much mch voltage they need for working @ high frequency in combination with high FSB and mainly on EP45-UD3P motherboard ... because I own one .... please post some results on my request

Have u attained `1200MHZ and more with FSB of 500? and higher?

OK OK i got it there not the same

Acoma, thanks for sharing that! Lets see what i can do with my kit

I know. Just wanted to point out the maximum overclock with each set.

[xzulu]

Damn. I just read the whole thread for the 2nd time! LOL! Makes me want to get a kit of this!!!

I'm running MCH at 1.24V, but 533MHz CL5 @ 1.65V was done with 1.20V, so that may be enough too. I just don't want to be limited by my NB.

I haven't done any high FSB testing yet, sorry.

Yeah but anything past 1.9v won't gain you any performance, just heat. At least I think it's the conclusion that everyone came up with.

Correct!

Maximum speed for me at CL4, with 1.9v.

So you maxed out about where Tony, Eugene and I did too, all of those kits seem to be very good!


This post is mainly to inform you that I'm having issue with my board's BIOS and I had a short weekend. Will try to fix it tomorrow and continue CL5 testing.

[QerryTerry]

Got these sticks too, tested them but only reached ~1150 MHz 5-5-5-18. Have an Biostar I45 TPower. Don't know if this board doesn't like these sticks. But they are fine at 4-4-4-13 and 1020MHz. I couldn't lower the voltage under 1.9V. With Auto in the BIOS it defaults to 2.1 volts .

[Tony]

moan at Biostar...you need true 1.8V or lower to get the best as some modules hate 1.9V+.

I have the same board here and it won't save to cmos...new bios and still buggy

have you tried with all the different rcomp configuration? each memory likes one diferent setting of that

[QerryTerry]

No haven't tested with different rcomp settings, i set it to auto. PL was set to 8. But i didn't tested it further because my Quad doesn't run stable with an FSB over 500 MHz. Had OCZ Elite UE before, but they reached "only" 950 MHz with 5-5-5. So these sticks are way better.

[LuKe88]

i ve gotta ask a question..
with these sticks i can reach easily 1200mhz 5-5-5-18 for daily use ?

[18 is # 1]

All results seem to indicate that if your mobo can handle high RAM speeds, then yes these will work at 1200 MHz and do it at 1.9v or less. Please keep in mind that this is a new product and reliability and longevity have yet to be demonstrated. On the other hand, OCZ usually makes high quality stuff.

I know it's Blade 1066 topic, but I just don't want to multple it.

Blade LV 1200 CL5
Vdimm = 2,15
266/800

I know it is crazy V for those sticks, but the result for 2x2 is good





Will keep testing with lower V.

[Zeus]

Wow, 2.15V? This encourages me to push a little more, 1.9V was not enough for DDR1030 4-4-4 or DDR1250 5-5-5 for me.

After seeing this i might try 1.94-1.96V.

Did the sticks get hot with that much Vdimm?

dfi x48 verry strong with 4 gig sets zeus

Yes, sticks becomes warm over 1,9V and hot @ 2,15.
I used no AC. Lucky me, I didn't burned them. Needed to check sticks temp.

I definitely don't suggest You should try such a high V. Just wanted to check their oc abilities. There is lot of space for higher V, but I'm not sure how it will affect durability. I'm afraid they won't sustain this kind of V for a long time.

My kits results
@ 1,9 1300 5-5-5-15 not stable. 1280 should be ok. Didn't stressed it for a long time, but i'm 90% sure they can handle it.
@ 1,9 1000 4-4-4-15 not 100% stable.

1340 5-6-6-18 @ 2,0 passes 1M

Isnt it a too low score in everest for 1066mhz cl4 pl5??

[zsamz_]

extremely low he must have other settings way loose

[Shahryar_NEO]

@ Mkk : decrease tRFC ...

[Eagle_Watch]

@ Mkk : decrease tRFC ...

54 isnt too high.

I still dont understand how that score is so low

[mattkosem]

FSB maybe? He's running async. I know I never saw everest bandwidth numbers that were any good running async on my Core2 rigs. Looking through some old benchmarks, 460 FSB@550 Mem was 1700MB/sec slower than 536 FSB at 1:1 with the same timings on my e8600. Quads are hard to use at high FSBs though.

it´s looks as a finaly generation of DDR2, but the best
somebody know what chips have this modules?
