OCZ 8500 Low-Voltage Blade

[zsamz_]

Yeah i've been monitoring their site.

But i need it shipped (to Alberta), & when i did all but pay for an order, it added PST onto it
(no PST here)

Didn't seem like their was any shipping option...do they only do local sales usually?

I imagine i'd need to phone them.

I guess by now i figured surely NCIX/DirectCanada/newegg.ca would have them, but ffs, nope.

they got 1 place in montreal n 4 in ottawa
you dont gotta pay pst lol just gst
i woulda bought them from ncix if they had them n had it shipped xpress lol but...
i woulda bought it from newegg n paid gst n pst but then again
as soon as they get em in i be rushin to get mine just hope i dont get a speedin ticket

@ Don_Dan : you're right . i don't test these modules and my exprience was from D9 , thanks .

Yes, 2.1V needed. Here's my highest C5 validation - 721MHz 5-5-5-15 2T

due to the nature of P45 and P35 boards 3:5 is buggy and is 2:3

Don't ask me why, but today I'm getting these results @PL9...



I'm not complaining, clearly, but it seem a little strange...
Oh well, I love these sticks, that's for sure!

Picked up a pair of the 1150's (pc2 9200) from the egg with the promo code since the 9600's were sold out...the IC's should still be the same and not too heavily binned yet I hope.

[BeepBeep2]

I'm getting a pair of 1150's for my birthday...I'm pretty excited.

[HousERaT]

My 1150s will be delivered on Thursday. I'll see how they compare to the 1066s. Probably just a slight adjustment in voltage.

As I said, Mine were the first available in the U.S. that I'm aware of. I think it's just luck of the draw on the lower binned stuff. They do have black PCBs though.

[zsamz_]

I hear ya. I'm not unhappy with my results. Easily as good as the Pi 1100s for $80 shipped. Maybe better if I can figure out this mobo......

did you try lower voltrage n higher trfc
personaly i would be pissed as many pi1100 witll hit close to 1200
the biatch is you got the black pcb n got unlucky
as soon as ocz started binning them it was to be expected
and not surprising they had first batches with nice chips

Got my pair of Blades PC8500LV in last thursday.
My 260GTX died a couple of days ago, and it was only today I was able to test these sticks.
After messing around a bit with the settings on the UD3P, it looks like a good start.
I used my old E8400 (Q807A...) as it would a bit easier to test than with a Q9650.

My mobo defaults to 72 tRFC.
Lower than 1.8v seems to be detrimental, not helpful.

Very nice Jupiler! I'm unfamiliar with EasyTune, is it 1.96V or 1.82V dram?

[Hoss331]

"Power On" displays the settings used on boot up or when ET6 was started up and "Target" is the current settings being used. 1.82v in bios/et6 is probably really only 1.80 actual since these boards seem to under volt the ram 0.02 or atleast mine does.

[Jupiler]

Thx.
It's 1.82V.

[zsamz_]

Thx.
It's 1.82V.

is it black pcb or green?

[Jupiler]

Black pcb.

[22JHP]

1200 mhz with 1.82v stable that's crazy.is there any difference between black or green pcb?in the ocz forums admin says there is no difference but i have black 2*2 1066 platinum and it's hit 1200 in the first try but not stable.a friend of mine have green platinum 2*2 1066 and he can't see 1200.i just wondering if black ones are 8 layer.

[BeepBeep2]

From what I understand the PCB's are identical but the black ones are just colored.

[OC_Newbee]

For those that hit 1200+ on there 8500 LV set. Can you pass at least 10 run of test# 5 of memtest+ at anything above 1160 and up? I can boot at 1200 but memtest test#5 stable is a different story.

[22JHP]

From what I understand the PCB's are identical but the black ones are just colored.

yes that could be.maybe i know "how to oc" and my friend don't.i still believe there is someting different.maybe not pcb but chip maybe.boot 1200 mhz and stable 1200 is different thing i agree with that.blade series cool with that but i wanna see default 4-4-4-12 1066 mhz.maybe next model i hope.it's good to see that ddr2 still evolving.

there sitting in my closet and work purfect still,actually there amazing sticks..only reason i took my spreaders off is because the tape acts as heat barrier(not transfer) in my eyes and my fans work better hitting direct ics.

Those D9GMH?

[zsamz_]

incredible i gotta wait another week
i guess ocz doesnt consider canadians important lol
