High voltage lovin voltmaster, pics , specs , release date

No one seems to be saying if they are using 2 sticks of ram or 1. With 2 sticks in any 754 board you can expect at least a 10-15mhz drop in max OC.

Let us know how many sticks and what board you have as well as voltage. We also need to know what PSU you have and vid card. If you just threw a 6800 in there with the new RAM and have a cheese wiz PSU your overclocks will suck.

Thanks guys.

I got an OCZ Powerstream 600w the other day in readiness for the VX

Awesome choice!

[Orker]

Awesome choice!

yeh its huge!

Loving the aluminium/chrome look with green leds

[aCidbAbY]

Awesome choice!

system is as follows::
1gb dual kit ocz VX (ofcourse)
a64 3000+ nc/CG stable at 2.5 ghz (waiting on water to go higher)
ATI 9800pro_XT flashed and OCed
DFI lanparty UT nForce3 250gb
OCZ powerstream 420w
plenty of cooling. and my ram is being cooled by my old AMD fan

so i have a good platform for this stuff just need some time i guess!

another note , is looser timings outside of CAs dont seem to help with this ram

i noticed the same thing.

update i am running stable @250 mhz now burning in @ 3.4vdimm

::EDIT::
below i attached a pic of the program i am useing to burn my memory enjoy

I'm running in dual channel. I'll test single channel in a few days, or after I think I've reached a plateau with two sticks. I'm using a $50.00 Thermaltake W0013 Silent Purepower 480W. My PSU maintains a steady overvolt to all of the rails.

With regard to dual channel with a 754 rig, I notcied a 20MHz to 23MHz drop in frequencies during my testing.

Conrad, you may not live with all that brew and lung polution. LOL

I'm 29 years young. I'm pretty sure I have a few more years to enjoy these vices of youth and splendor.

Good to hear your @ 250 now i take it thats 2-2-2-10 3.4v??

btw nice program.. ill use that to burn in my ram aswell

[aCidbAbY]

yes sir
my fingers are crossed

[Orker]

yes sir
my fingers are crossed

oh baby! thats good news!

i wonder how trans am is going.. he has the same mobo as me

so far, acidbaby and conrad have reached 250 2-2-2-10 on DFI NF3 and MSI K8N Neo2 plat, respectively

[starblazer]

Got to 255x10 so far. But, does that bandwidth look right? Kinda low for sandra score isn't it?


This is on DFI UT NF3 250GB (slot 1,3) All on auto except 10x multiplier, enabled CPC, 2-2-2-10. memtest was done with 9x multiplier to get cpu oc out of the equation.

Very nice but your right with the sandra score...very low.. i would have though 5000-6000

Oh mine is a 754 single channel, but I was hoping it would break at least 4k though. What am I missing? Or is this bandwidth right for DDR510?

Also, my SuperPI 1M was 35 seconds... sad.. what am I doing wrong...?

Not sure about bandwidth then but your superpi is fine

I get 34sec @ 2600mhz

Score should be around 4k, maybe a little higher.
I scored around 3800 with 2*512 MB BH5 Corsair sticks (245*10) on my DFI board.

[andyOCZ]

Well good work guys. Those of you hitting close to or better than 250mhz dual channel with 2-2-2 timings are rockin'! Pull one stick out and see what you get. Most of the great benches you guys saw were single channel. I'm pretty amazed and can't wait cause Ryanpgroovy just sent me some VX so I can help you guys out with some suggestions after my testing (right, hehe ).

[STEvil]

Bandwidth looks fine to me, I get around 3830 ish at 9x250.

[Orker]

Just thought id say to those that missed out on VX, its back IN STOCK at excalibrepc

[Ol!ver]

PS @ ol!ver, dont have an "a:" (no memtest) is there another way? ya, im on water, can push 1.7V without going too high on temps.

Hi

Yeah you can get a bootable CD iso off their we page HERE

[trans am]

I just downloaded memtest 1.40 (i'm at work now and it's a new day) I ran the ram all night long while I slept soundly. The ram ran all the tests looped so I would stress all aspects of the modules. 3.3v at 240mhz. It's very odd that the ram can't boot into windows even at 245mhz, but I was able to pass a whole 1m run is superpi with clockgen at 260mhz 2-2-2-10 1t. I'll have plenty of time later on to mess with it. My Lady was really giving me trouble last night. This seems to happen everytime I get some new hardware, she will interrupt me when I am trying to reset the cmos or right when I'm really frusterated. It's almost like women know. I feel like they can smell the new hardware. Almost like animals can smell fear, the lady can smell the ram. She smells the ic's and then they come in when you are at your most vulnerable state and attack you for not spending enough quality time with them. So I told her we will work out a schedule for me. Certain days will be my overclocking / games and XS, and other nights I will spend with her. That way everyone's happy. What do you guys think?

[cinders]

You should give her a good beating, thats what I did! Now my missus never speaks out of term....

[cantankerous]

I think you sound just like me lol. Funny actually but also reassuring it's not just myself. Whenver I am the most frustrated is when I get bugged to things too. Drives me nuts. Days where I'm bored and with nothing to do is when I'm left alone.

A schedule will be good though. Need to keep peace in the house especially if the wife/gf wears the pants in the house.

Don't ever let them wear the pants!... Jeez Man! If you do, it'll be game over... You got to keep these women in shape, they're dangerous creatures!...

I've seen the state of my grandfather!... the glint in his eye has gone and so has his soul, the poor man... - Thats what 40-odd years of living with a woman who wears the pants has done...

I made a vow that day - it'd never happen to me...

We'll actually neither of us wear pants, we just prance around the apt. naked.

[Jupiler]

So I presume your overclocking/games, XS day starts at 6 AM and ends at 5:59 AM the next morning?

"Got a minute, honey?"
