why so many sticks of Hypers, and whats the deal with Hypers...?


i have this ram i hate, 6GB OCZ Platinum 2000Mhz LV6GK 9-9-9-30, which i think is the *EOL*
they boot at almost any freq...2400mhz/2200mhz/2000mhz/1800mhz.

my problem is that they need atleast 1.72v, they either need only 1.29v qpi or more then 1.45v qpi, this is all done @ 4.2Ghz
with the i7 970 they barely made it to 20K/19K/21K in AIDA with C-States ON.
Same OCZ Ram with a nice i7 950 gave me 22K reads in AIDA C-States Off.

so i learned something, maybe im wrong....
the speed @ which the memory can transfer is sorely related to IMC ability to scale with OverClock.
is it the IMC what makes a golden cpu a golden cpu.??
depends on how you define golden.

i.e. high core clocks, strong imc, low volts, low heat, etc. . .

and hypers are the shi(F)t, I am on the lookout for a set of GTX2's
