OCZ2B1200LV4GK - the best DDR2 kit in the world?

[WaterFlex]

It depends on RAM.

[devil_mcry]

k

however with default voltage isn't possible to use value under 48 ...

can you confirm?

[devil_mcry]

a little increase with working on alpha timing

realy i just changed trfc from 54 to 50

my friend with same kit can run at 48 but i didn't try




i don't know why if i run this test when pc is just up copy band is more highter of next test...

with trp to 4 or twr to 11 i didn't see any difference

between previus setting, it's just increase read band ( 50mb/s, not more) and latency ( 0.1 or 0.2 i don't know exactly)

neither trfc nor other subtimings (except trd, of course) affect everest cache&mem score

No... some subtimings will have an impact on Everest, not much, but it's noticeable.

devil_mcry, I would rather use a higher tRFC and push up clocks.

yes it's a possible way but i like this because i don't want damage this ram in oc and my cpu is not good 4ghz @ 1.36v... :\

Any new owners ?

[I.nfraR.ed]

Well, I'm not a new owner. I have mine from the first delivery in Bulgaria. After that they disappeared and I'm happy I bought them.
1300+ are fine for benchmarks, but not memtest stable.

Here's result form my old Asus M3A78-T. 1328 was the max I can boot at and load Windows. However I was not able to increase FSB even with 1 MHz in Windows (with AOD), my board just didn't like it.
1323MHz 5-5-5-15-20


And with the current board - Gigabyte MA-790FX-UD5P | 1333MHz 5-5-5-15-20

SuperPi


And FryRender, for example



Actually I was worried about that they will run even at 1200 on my AMD system, but I had no troubles at all.

What voltage are you at?

My 1150's dont wanna do anything over 1210 nomatter what V's I give em.

[I.nfraR.ed]

1200MHz - around stock voltage 1.8V depending on the CPU I use, but no more than 1.84V
1265MHz - at 1.95V
1300+ boots at 2V, but needs 2.2V to be stable on benchmarks. I know that's pretty high for LV kit, but I'm benching at that frequency only with cold air.
I'm running them for 24/7 with one 120mm NoiseBlocker @ 1000rpm over them.
However, all of my CPUs perform differently. One of the 965s can't run it even at 1300 (the one with the weak IMC), the second one can do 1320+.

Alright, thanks.

After some tweaking I'm getting 1190 @ 1.84v (these gigabyte boards lol) and 1210 @ 1.95v.

It could be my IMC or something, but then again I've got a binned 1150 kit.

[I.nfraR.ed]

Well, Blades have better heatspreaders and additionally to that it seems I got a little bit lucky. My kit is from the first in Bulgaria and it was in the beginning of their 'life' on the market.
There is a guy in hwbg forum who has 1150 Blades and is running them at speeds similar to yours with 1.96V, so they aren't binned 1150 for nothing, I guess.
Actually they were running better on my Asus, and the Gigabyte board lacks fine tuning of the RAM voltage.

Tony said the XTC spreaders were for cooling and the Blade spreaders were just flash...

I'm completely serious on that one, I read it somewhere...he said the Platinum was cheaper and had the better heatspreader while the Blade "just looked sexy"

My sticks have the Black PCB so I don't think they are too old...plus I'm running them in slots 3 and 4, they should do better on stronger 1 and 2 slots.

Your drive strengths are different than mine and the BIOS has no options!

[I.nfraR.ed]

Hehe, ok, I'm not an expert, so I guess I'm wrong then, if Tony said that. My Blades are also with black PCB, I don't know if that matters at all.
I'm running them in the first two slots, they don't boot at 1300 when using them in slots 3 and 4. Actually, I'm not sure what's the frequency they boot at, when in slots 3 and 4, but I have tested it once - just swapped the slots and it refused to boot on the same settings as in slots 1 and 2.

Does anyone have this kit?

[berk]

I'm looking aswell,but it's discontinued.

Whats the next best thing?

[RCG_Bex]

I've got a post somewhere on here showing my Adata Xtreme's @ 1410mhz 5-5-5-15, they done 1530 but I forget the timings sadly...

GSkill Trident 1200 is identical.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-271-_-Product

But also $150.

I got my OCZ LV kit for $85 way back when.

This kit is also awesome, clocks as good/better than trident/OCZ but higher volts due to different chips:

[Erklat]

IIRC that G.Skill was not overclocking anywhere near Blades when I did my part of researching
before I bought mine, I had 1066LV4GK.

Mine were dated August 2009 (not sure though, had them for couple of weeks and then upgraded to P55),
they were not as good as those in reports from the early May last year, which clocked like crazy. Suppose
binning by that time already took place hard.

No wonder they are discontinued since DDR2 is legacy now. The real shame is that such a great memory
hit retail when DDR2 was already in it's fall.

Thanks for the heads up guys
..just need the mem. for overclocking with a dual/multi cores for DVD ripping,photochomp and digital video editing.

Just grab a 1066 kit and you should be okay if you are staying with DDR2 for that purpose. Gains would be minimal imo.

[Ket]

You will be lucky to find a DDR2 kit now that does over its rated speed, so I just wouldn't try. Get the best PC8500 kit you can find. It'll likely be something along the lines of 2v @ 5-5-5-15

[berk]

I knew that i was limited with multi cores,but if 1066 is enough then i'll bite.
