Wait!
Is the the Gigabyte board I think it is..
You know what I mean!

Good stick there Brian, mine can't do TRFC 60 over +1000Mhz 32mb stable... needing 70ish level there and even 88 for 1100mhz... how you liking the REX III ? I'm more looking forward to Thuban stage :p

Hmm loving the rex, benching like around 2150-2170 7-7-6 trfc 60 1T 32m stable with only 1.71v......maybe you just have a bad stick legghoofd.

Will post up some unnoficial runs after i get back.

[chew*]

nice results, well worth $600 if you ask me. I love mine

was trfc on auto in the first couple SS's or did it require the bumps to maintain stability (100 to 102 to 104 etc)

I can run at 60 until about 2200........not fond of doing reviews with results that can't be acchieved by avg joe so left auto.

Hey chew I was hoping to ask you a favor if not too much trouble. Could you run the BOINC benchmark with that memory at 1000mhz 7-7-7-20 and again at 1200mhz 8-8-8-24 same cpu speed obviously. Thanks, looking to build the ultimate cruncher and I don't know which kit to go with. I currently have the dom gt 7-8-7-20 2000mhz kit.

wow sick ram frequency man
did you run everest at 1200 mhz on memory?

you have an imc that can do 2400 on air water for 24/7 or do you plan to run boinc 24/7 on Dry ice?

[=[PULSAR]=]

Now that would be Xtreme I'm getting some Xeon X5670's on Monday so we will just see what they can do I'm hoping they can get 2400mhz

[proxis]

i don't think that 2400 is possible on westmere, not talking about stability even

If you guys had a chance to get 6GB of these sticks for $475, would you guys do it???

I will likely be picking up another 2GB for a complete 8GB, but I figure right now this is a decent price for it.

Gonna be used for an AMD system. With memory prices the way they are I figured this was a pretty decent deal and I want to get the best for my next rig.

Think so but my version was old so results skewed so didn't bother posting them.

[chew*]

As promised a cold "tuned" run.

Nice work Chew, as noted, very thorough. And yes, the GTX2s are Hypers. GTX1s are PSCs, I don't recall specifically what rev.

7.1 & 8.1, both I believe.

[dinos22]

efficiency looks food chew
what board is that on?

Nice job here chew*

I got mine today. First result is 1035 7-7-7-20-5-60 1T 1.65v. I love these tight timings !!!!

Can't wait till the Crosshair IV Extreme comes out and I get to play with my GTX2 sticks!!!!!

THuban and clarkdale has just about equally strong/weak IMC it seems

chew very nice DDR3-2022Mhz 6-7-6 !!

Sadly it's not much good for anything but show.

Ganged is equivalent to running a B2B cas delay IMHO unless you run up to say 2100+ at 7-7-6 and even then you take hits in certain apps.

7-7-6 2000 unganged is faster than ganged 6-7-6 @ 2000 in 32m by a good 8 seconds. All that performance per clock testing stuff belongs in another thread though.

I see... one day I'll need to pick your brains when I try AM3 out again.. last AMD cpu i used was FX-60 s939 LOL

Do you want Lucid ? Or is it just the Extreme name that makes the board better for you ?

Comparing the layouts of the Formula and the Extreme, I prefer the Extreme. Not to mention the power handling on the Extreme is better than the Formula from looking at the boards without their heatsinks.

Lucid is nice, so that is an added bonus; but the main reason I am waiting for the Extreme is due to the board layout and the supposed better OC'ing ability.
