Best ram for AMD platform

[Tomasis]

i think GTX2, 1600 GT c6, 2000 GT c8 are hyper.. (also 1866 c7 6gb).. other maybe are gone

best choice from pricepoint/perfomance is 1600GT. best are GTX2 of course 2000gt c8 are just slower than 1600GT.

Thank you m8 :-)

Think ill grap the CAS6 version when i get the money

[Barr3l Rid3r]

And what about this one?

2133 C8 should be hyper also?

The Dominator GT 2000Mhz C8-9-8-24 are not Hypers be careful!

hello guys,
i got a new system with phenom 2 X6 and biostar 870+ board and
i'm using gskill eco sticks @ 800mhz with 1,45Vdimm
the nb is running @ 2400mhz @ 1,15v
ht @ 1920mhz
and cpu @ 3600mhz (240x15) 1,3vcore

i tried to config the settings for the memory in the bios as good as i can but i want to ask
here for some (fine) tuning for the timings and settings, so i post the
relevant bios screens. it would be awesome if somebody got some tips
to improve my settings!





thanks so far

Can anyone comment on OCZ OCZ3P1600C6LV4GK? It sounds like PSC to me? DDR1600 6-8-6 1.65v

But then I'm seeing someone running 6-6 5-24 at DDR1424 1.52v... Is that possible for PSC?

[Zeus]

flips, lower tras and trfc 0 to 3 will be nice. Try to see if tras 18 and trfc 90ns is stable. if not, increase till it's stable.

That is what they are PSC BUT the OCZ3P1333C6LV(A)4GK is MICRON the (A) in the perfix stands for ANIMAL....
Remember they are 2000mhz bin and Tony at OCZ told me that they will do 1600@ Cas6 so I got 8GB of the memory when it was dirt cheap and it will do 1600mhz with no problem at 6-6-6-24 @1.68v

Thinking about going back to AMD (1090T / CHIV) but struggling with RAM at the moment due to lack of availability for certain things (e.g. GT's C6).

From trawling through here, not much around for 1600~ that have decent IC's. Checked a few sites that list IC's for Hypers but no availability from sites I use.

Anyone recommend (or know a UK stockist of Hyper's) what would be worthwhile grabbing in their stead? Been looking at the below.

Kingston HyperX T1 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 12800C8 (1600MHz) Dual-Channel (KHX1600C8D3T1K2/4GX) (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=MY-076-KS)

Corsair Dominator 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 12800C7 (1600MHz) Dual-Channel (CMP4GX3M2C1600C7) (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...=8&subcat=1517)

OCZ Reaper Low-Latency 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 12800C6 (1600MHz) Dual-Channel (OCZ3RPR1600C6LV4GK) (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...=8&subcat=1517)

Unsure whether to consider Patriot RAM as I have never used it before!

Cheers,
Mek.

none of them are hypers

[Mekoa]

none of them are hypers

Aye thats my issue. If I can't get the best, I need the next best thing.

May just wait for GT C6's to come back in stock/be available. Unsure if theyll have the Hyper IC's though.

[Leeghoofd]

Do you bench ? if not go with a nice PSC kit... your board loves the Gskills ( they are made for it !!)

Did a small comparison here : Flares vs Hypers

[Mekoa]

Not a huge bencher, Ill do a fair bit of testing around OC but wont hardcore bench. Those should be ideal.

Ironically I found Flare's nowhere except on Amazon.. never thought of checking there.

Dom GT 1600 C6-6-6 are the second best hypers "available", but they won't be available again, so don't count on it.

you should go w/ Supertalents. they are Hypers and still possible to find them brand new.

Any Supertalent from 2000 to 2200Mhz using Cas7 or 8 are Hypers.

Nooooo , i bought it. F*ck

[Barr3l Rid3r]

Nooooo , i bought it. F*ck

Sorry,I don't know what it is, but they are good also, a bit cheaper than 8-8-8, that was like $270 for 2x 2GB.


Some guy posted here about them, they seems good but cant go lower than 9 on trcd.

[FlanK3r]

no , its ok, only I made again mistake, second "bad" choice in RAM

[NaMcO]

I am having a few issues with my setup. Everything was working perfectly with 4GB of RAM with the settings below, but once i added another 4GB, the computer became unstable. It's not unstable right away, only after i have used it for a long time (it BSODs usually).

If i turn on the PC and use it for like 2-3 hours, everything is fine, but if i let it on for more time or play a game for ~1hour or so, it will eventually BSOD. Can this be caused by memory temperatures, they do heat up a bit after a while playing games?

If not, what do you think may be causing instability once i added the other 4GB? System is as described in the sig, RAM is GSKill Trident PC3-12800 8-8-8-24. I have PMed leeghoofd before, he was very kind and helped me quite a lot, but the system is still not 100% stable - Any help is appreciated.

Thank you!

BIOS Pics:

[Leeghoofd]

Lower NB and HT voltage to 1.25
Drop NB multi one notch
Drop HT link to 2000 region
Up CPU NB to 1.275
Loosen ram timings to 8-8-8-24
Set command rate 2T

[NaMcO]

Once again, thanks a lot - Under testing now

[Hirogen]

hi,

maybe, someone can help me.

what kind of "chips" are on the following rams and what is the maximum (24/7) vdimm for them ?

are there overclocking results ?

is it possible to reach 1600mhz 6-6-6-xx with adaquate vdimm ?

my hardware is asus crosshair 4 formula and a x6 1090T

greetings

H.

corsair dominator gt cl8-8-8-24-1t hyper

[chew*]

corsair dominator gt cl8-8-8-24-1t hyper

drop your cpu down to about 3.6-3.7 and you will be smoking in low clock 32m.......for higher than 3.6 to 3.7 cpu speeds however.....6-6-6 at high speeds is king.

insane, very good fot 2000 c8 gt

hi,

can I expect similar results like e.g. tsan with this rams:

Dominator GT 2000Mhz 4GB (CMG4GX3M2A2000C8) (maybe elpida ver.2.1)


on asus crosshair 4 formula and x6 1090t ?

If your not afraid to put volts to them.

I imagine that would not be 24/7 settings knowing elpida
