OCZ 8500 Low-Voltage Blade

[Jupiler]

Nice work Jupiler did the NB voltage do it for you on the PL?

I bumped it up one notch, to 1.36V but I haven't tested it for stability, just a quick everest bench.

@ Jupiter,

Try using 1,45+ Vnb , you should be able to get PL7.

Might give it a try.

i would not be worried on x48
on my dfi x38 i could get higher fsb with powerchips than on d9 i think higher trfc is the thing that does it on d9 i run trfc 34 max

I have a set of the 9200's and 8500's on a EVGA 780 FTW. I can run all 8 gigs at 925 mhz at 4-4-4-12 1t at about 1.85V. They max out at about 1080 mhz at 5-4-4-12 with 1.85 V. I took out the 8500's and I'm running the 9200's at 5-5-5-15 2t 1.95 V at 1200 mhz w/no problems. I cannot get higher than 1200 without it crashing or freezing. The 8500's only get up to about 1180 mhz at 5-5-5-15 2t with 1.85 to 1.9 V. The 8500's show up as 1067 soon as I pop them in..............that's a first on this mobo.

Nice work Ronbo56!
Can you try 8 gigs witi 5-5-5-15 ? How far will they go?

Same, I wonder how hot or warm these blade kits get. Thanks!

n-7 looks bad for canadians
ocz sent canadian orders to god knows where they gave some kinda engineering bs excuse
ty ocz for screwin up canadian orders saved me 100$

[Jupiler]

I don't think I can expect more from them with 4-4-4-15.
I tried 1040Mhz up to 1.98V (bios) but it wasn't stable at all.

Regarding temps :

I placed a small temp probe between the HS and the chip (as far as possible) and I measured around 32°C idle and 37°C load, with 1.80V.
This is with one stick, placed in DIMM 3 (second row, first slot).

The one closed to the socket (DIMM 1) (first row, first slot) and near the NB gets very hot, measuring temps of 51°C.
This was due to the heat coming off the NB (extremely hot), which of course dissipates his heat to the HS and memory in general.
Having a small fan blowing at the NB helps.

I've just purchased a set of the 9200s....stoked

Most likely every country out there will get this stuff before we do.

[Ghostleader]

Nope, I don´t think so because here in Sweden there´s no sign of them yet, have to reach out to UK, Germany or some other countries in Europe but it seem like they are out of stock in most places.

Have 2 set of PC-9600 on a order at memoryc.com but they don´t know when they are back in stock, no word from OCZ.

I hope that we don´t gonna see that same failure rate on these DDR2 elpida as we start to see with the DDR3 elpida hyper.

Thanks Jupiler Does it get hot above 1.9v?

ddr2 epilda rates were high too lol this is rev D the others were rev B and C

the time n effort i put for these sticks i shoulda just ordered from memoryc lol
not 1 stick in canada besides @ TG
i really dont care for pc2-8500 lol anything below 1225mhz is worthless to me at this point
i almost got me some ddr3 lol its so cheap

[SpuTnicK]

Have searched e-bay, there is a guy that has at least 3 sets of every lv memory kit. And he is in canada

Yup, i ordered from that guy.

Three days later i was informed, oh sorry, we don't actually have these in stock...would you like a crappy alternative OCZ kit instead?

When i ordered, there had been five "in stock" for over a day.

So i got my money back & got away from that seller fast.

[Faiakes]

Hi

I'm interested in the 9600 Blades too. If anyone finds any available please post.

I do have this great kit but it is only 2GB...

You guys are looking for OCZ2B1066LV4GK in Canada?

Yes & no.

zsamz_ & i are specifically looking for the 1150/1200 kits since these kits were announced.
I personally am fine with the low voltage Platinums (or Blades); don't really care about a heatspreader.

Only place that might actually have stock is TigerDirect, & they have the 1066 Blades @ a horribly overpriced $105+
