OCZ 8500 Low-Voltage Blade

[asabaraba]

That's just about what my 1066 Blades did.

Same here, but it's enough for 600FSB

They do that if no stock shipment is due in within the next 72 hours (or something similar.)

weird, yesterday they showed an ETA 7/31

Now they are not listed at all. I think my next set if I stay with this platform a while longer will be the GSkill 1200's. Seem to be very good ram. I HATE to pay 139 for ddr2 ram but have never heard a bad thing about them from anyone that uses them. I need to be able to use the 240b 5:6 divider to run 500fsb~1200mhz. I can only use the 250A 4:5 divider or 1:1 with this set of OCZ platinums, at 500fsb 250A it puts my ram at 1250mhz and windows laughs at me on boot.

I just ordered some PC-9200 Blades for £57... man you guys get stuff so damn cheap, it's unfair

Lovely.

How far from stable is that?

SuperPi 1M and Everest only

Working on getting it 3DMark stable at least, the board boots at 590FSB and I use setfsb from there. I think that 1.38vNB was too low for 600FSB

Has anyone played with the 9200 blades? I may be stuck with getting a set of them but I'm not interested if they cant do 1230MHz or so

-n7- got the Plats. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=459

Hmm.. thats pretty crappy given the extremely marginal price difference between the 9200 and 9600 kits. Looks like I'm back to waiting for somewhere, anywhere to get the 9600 kits back in. I looked at about 20 e-tailers now, all out of stock.

I have a feeling we are seeing lots of 1150/1066 because bins for 1200 are low...

I wanted 1200 too, but got tired of waiting.

For $44, those 1066 Plats are very tempting.....http://www.amazon.com/OCZ-PC2-8500-P...f=pd_rhf_p_t_1

[BeepBeep2]

My 1150 Platinum kit does not post past 1160.

On the bright side, it does not change when I add voltage so I guess it's not the ram.

[Jor3lBR]

I have a bad feeling about this. Probably the 9600 is history...

I'm guessing they hit a bump in the binning process. I don't think it will be history (yet) but there may be about 3-4 more weeks before we see them again.

Hey OCZ, still waiting for Blade 9600s!!!

Sad...I wanted the 1200's too, but hey.

Well, ... I've just gotten 5-5-5-10 @ 1100 out of my 9200's.

I would rather pay the extra $35. and get the GSkill 1200's. Only reason I was trying to get these 1200's was for the price
$79.00

[BeepBeep2]

Well, I assume that if you push 1.85v-1.9v into the 9200's they should top out around DDR2-1250... that's just my guess. I can't test because my motherboard is a pita.

[OC Nub]

BeepBeep2: I was hoping so also but at just over 1200mhz it becomes unstable even at 1.92v. I was able to get 1200mhz stable but with 480fsb 4:5 divider on 1.84v but after that voltage doesn't seem to help. I doubt it is this motherboard but I could be wrong..

at the price the gskills are now its sensless to but any lv kit
i paid 300$ for my skills
and i gotta say they were the best ddr2 ever made absolute best
1260mhz for 24/7 was a peice of cake even 1300 was good for 24/7 n they never even got warm
was a pleasure to play with them gskills while i had em

[BeepBeep2]

It would be nice if I had a good mobo/CPU to actually push these sticks with...

I've got the same results 1.78-1.85v so I'm 110% sure it's my CPU's IMC.
I also tried 5-5-4-10, well...it posts, and boots. So I tried 5-4-4-10. BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP....I reset the CMOS for about the 5th time the day. I just BSOD'ed in GIMP with 8 7MP images open @ 5-5-5-10 1100 Mhz.
Tried posting 2900 Mhz/DDR2-1160 earlier and it hangs on POST. (Passes, reads mem clock speed then won't detect HDD's etc and becomes unresponsive) Does the same from 1.78v to 1.85v.

I'm just out of money, and bought an OEM copy of Vista so I can't use a second mobo/CPU. So sad.

I think that will be the best choice for me also. Thanks
