Best ram for AMD platform

[BeepBeep2]

That should run fine, because some minutes ago I've put 2 x 1 GiB Crucial BL12864BA2009-8SFB into the setup and have no issues at all. I could boot DDR3-1600/1866 at the very first try and now I'm running Prime 95 Blend (custom) at 1,000 MHz (DDR3-2000). So it seems to be an issue with the Cellshock sticks - related to the SPD-EEPROM maybe.

I couldn't boot 1866 or 2000. I was able to load the 1600 CL7-7-7 1.9v XMP profile but I dropped one channel. It shows both modules installed in BIOS but 1024MB on POST and 1GB in task manager. Windows sees 2GB but apparently "1GB usable".

EDIT:
After changing slots to the black ones on the Crosshair V Formula I was able to boot at 1800 7-7-6-18 1T @ 1.95v with both sticks.

Interesting
I used the red slots and could run DDR3-2000 8-8-8-24 at Prime 95 until I stopped it. With the Cellshock sticks it didn't matter if black or red, frequency limit was in the low-mid 7xx MHz range as described above.
However even with the Crucial DIMMs I had memory loss (< 1 GiB available) at 2.0 V this time (Boot @ DDR3-1866/7-6-5-18 2T), so it seems we're really on the edge with D9GTx.

I was able to boot and web browse / use light applications DDR3-2000 9-8-8-20 1T 2.0v, but I doubt that would even run 32M. My kit is pretty low bin (Ballistix 1600 C8), they do about 1800 7-6-6 stable at 2.0v. 7-6-5 takes a lot more, almost 2.2v which I don't want to do on this CPU.

I went back to my Hypers for FX, going to try 2270 8-8-7-24 1T 110ns for daily use like gaming. I don't even bother running Prime95 with FX since the window between stable and unstable is so large. I can run 5 GHz all day long but fail Prime95 at 4.7 and same voltage. I was able to run Prime95 on an FX-8150 (not my current one) @ 2172 for 40 minutes or so.

why i love eco..



vdimm with 1,65v
one of my kit on bbse chip (black pcb) and the new kit (green pcb) still unknown but still lovely

What does it say in the product number after the manufacturing date ( first 3 or 4 digits depending on the year )? If it says 1040 then they're some kind of PSC.

it's so hard to take it off my memory cause my san ace 9SG1212P1G06 top on it with silver arrow x_x

[Punisher!]

Yeah, ECOs rock mate:

Sorry for the small screenshot, it is 1870Mhz 7-9-7-24-40-1T @1.65V .

It's nice to meet guys with overall same setup

rock on with eco

[Farmer Boe]

Check out this quick validation. It passed memtest so it seems kinda stable. I can push the cpu further but this more for testing the ram

Specs...

A8-3850
F1A75M-Pro
Noctua NH-D14
G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3-2133 8-9-8-24

Sorry about the file sizes, my cam saves as jpg and it can only be resized so much.
I only took one spreader off, it wasn't easy.

I usually stick the stick of ram by the window when it's cold out for about an hour.
But it's it's warm out today.
So I stuck in the freezer, inside a ziplock.
It got some condensation on it after I took it out (8mins maybe) :\, I wiped that off with my shirt.
Thermal tape was still a little sticky, really hard to get it apart, I suppose I should of kept it in there for a half hour.
I ALWAYS use a plastic card of some sort to pry them apart, always..., even so it was still hard to get apart, gotta say that again...

Had to use a flashlight and random diffusers to get the cam to focus, I'm learning new things I guess lol.
Had to balance the flashlight and cam at the same time, but hey it worked I guess .

Anyways I definitely got hynix h9c.
I run mine at 8-11-9 cmd1 timings, on the phenom x6 1090t.
Can't get lower so far no matter what I do.
I do have it clocked to 2000mhz though, 1.65v haven't tried lower, just higher.
Good enough, and as a side note, got my pcie back to 150mhz (100% stable I think ) after I cleaned out my case, moved my vga card back down to the 1st slot and added new fans.
It does the trick anyways, this mem, it's good enough, seems there's alot of potential in these hynix chips but on the older gen controllers, not so much (if we had a bad @ss bios with a ton more options then maybe...)


Edit:
I'de like to mention one more time about the thickness of the pcb on these sticks of mem.
Being a tiny bit thicker, having more layers helps me alot.
Every single time I've inserted these sticks, the board has posted.
I've always had to fiddle with the ram slots to get any board to post, being that they always seem to use flimsy lose slots on the board, ever since ddr2 it seems.
With these sticks I don't have that prob at all, it's a tight fit all the way into the slot.
I think it's awesome, my sticks rock regardless of how they do end up clocking someday...
I don't like that loosy goosy stuff with my mem slots AND pcie slots...

I honestly doubt this is very practical (due to timings), or 24/7 stable for that matter.
Reguardless, this isn't a bad 8Gb kit and I was pretty happy to hit 2400Mhz...




FWIW, Heres a CPU-z valid at these clocks:

[BeepBeep2]

@NEO
I don't know why you even risked taking the heatspreaders off, you can tell by the label that they are Hynix BFR. Everything rated 2000 9-11-9 up is Hynix BFR, and most of the 9-11-11 stuff is high bin Samsung HCF9.

As far as the size of your images, even MS Paint can resize images

My IMC can't even boot at 2400 so you're doing pretty well.

Of course, my faulty CPU could boot at 2500...

[NEOAethyr]

(What the, logged in with disabled/no cookies...), weird...


Anyways...
I did resize the pics, yes with paint...., they were 2-4x that size originally...

I took the heatspreaders off to check the ic's for myself.
Saw a few reviews of the sticks and saw some pics of the ic's, but I wanted to make sure.

Now I know what I got, hopefully I start seeing sub timings and drive strengths of some hynix sticks...
That's what I'de like to figure out, the drives for the most part.
I only got one drive setup halfway optimal.

PSC owns all.

[BeepBeep2]

They have more in them too
That was "only" 1.8v vdimm. XD @ 1.85v I'm sure they will do about 2250 6-10-6-24 trc 36 trfc 110ns 1T

The CPU might have another 20 MHz too if I try real-hard. The goal is to get within 15m 10 seconds. I need exactly 2.7% more speed to get under 15 minutes, something Phenom II X6 can do at ~4.4-4.5 GHz without extensive tweaks.

Very Impressive Beep!

Thought I was settled on mem, now I may have to put the Mushkins back in one more time...

I just don't advise running 1.8v for memory 24/7 Maybe 1.7-1.75v. Still, that would net almost 2133 6-10-6 in 32M.
Of course, these sticks do 2300 7-10-7 too relatively easy.

why psc owns hypers when you are using a FX cpu ??? talking about ''mhz''.
What about dominator gtx8 ???? normal or great kit to use with fx ?

Talking about performance, PSC doesn't own Hypers.

I can easily post up a screenshot of 2133+ 7-7-6-20 with Hypers in 32M with a time similar to 2200+ 6-10-6 for PSC.

[bynext]

no performance, just more ''mhz', but what about dominators gtx8 ??? can do a great job ? or no

[BeepBeep2]

No. I wouldn't even touch GTX8. It is a worthless product. Single sided Hynix at CL10, about the worst thing anyone could have come up with.

PSC goes higher than Hyper on pretty much every platform...nobody really knows why.

AMD Phenom II, AMD FX, Intel P55 i7, Intel Sandy Bridge...

But who cares unless you are trying to push for the memory frequency world record? O_o

SuperPI 32M
1129 MHz @ 6-10-6-20 1t @ 1.82v
with Kingston HyperX T1 2000 9-10-9

[BeepBeep2]

Not bad. I'll take that challenge.

[Spcial]

it was a few weeks ago and my bulldozer is already gone so i have to buy a new one next time!

gskill pi 2000 6-9-6 can do 1156mhz 6-10-7 @ 1.79v and more ..., posted two sites ago!
