OCZ PC-4800 Plat Elite tests

[xgman]

Just fired a set of the new OCZ Platinum Elite's up in my DFI rig as in my sig. they are a retail packaged set. For starters I set my multiplier down from10 to 9 to see if there is any room over 300htt 1-1. So far at 2.5-3-3-0-1T at 2.8v. No time right now to do extesnive torture testing, but i'll start easing up the HTT and see how far they will clock. here is the starting point below at 300.

[xgman]

Without changing anything else except HTT, 310HTT at 2.5-3-3 failed right away, BUT, 322HTT below is happy at 2.5-4-3

[harpyboy]

not bad... for just 2.8V...

where did you buy tat from ?

[xgman]

Just lowered to 2.7. Seems more stable actually there, but it's way to early to declare where it's stable yet. too many options and combinations of timings to try.

Bought through a reseller account at OCZ.

Any decrease in timings if you increase voltage?

[xgman]

Any decrease in timings if you increase voltage?

What do you mean exactly?

[Karma]

As in, OCZ's VX: increase voltage for the RAM and decrease the timings. Go to 2.9 or 3.0 and see if you can get those timings lower.

doubtful...usually TCCD doesn't PLAY like that...

It depends on where you have the HTT set. At 322 I found that 2.7 worked better than 2.8. on other high end TCCD's even top pick 440's, I found that increasing voltage over 2.7-2.8 started throwing errors in memtest. I have seen a few mixed results where you pump some serious volts into some tccd and it might error in memtest but gain a few clocks in windows, but after a whole lot of testing of tccd sticks form many sources, I am of the mind that lower is better. there may be a sweet spot above 300 where some combinations of timings and voltage will allow 2.5-3-3 to hold, but it will take some time to run all of those various combinations and tests, but I think it really behaves better with lower voltage. I'kll try 310 again with 2.5-3-3 at 2.7 now and see if it makes any difference.

bios 7/04 -2 was the only bios that let me run 2.5-3-3 over 300mhz and it let me go up to 315 so i recomend that bios to start on a quest for high 2.5-3-3 speed and leave most options on auto like drive controll options and tref 3072 atleast for me

how does this compare to the OCZ TCC5 based PC4800 ??

i was hoping it will be much better coz it cost more.. and with TCCD.

[wampir]

LOL

What is it ??!!!
You are talking about 300 2,5-3-3-6-1T but on your screen "2T timing = enable"

LOL
Show us suprpi 32M with the REAL 300 2,5-3-3-6-1T if You wont to show off...

[TEDY]

how much they cost ?

lol now i see 2T enabled

It's not 2T... A64Tweaker is messed up... He has not started CPU-Z first... take it easy boys

But yeah... We have not seen anything those sticks can do, yet. I would also be pleased to see "CPU-Z SPD Tab" or "Everest's Overclock Tab" so we can see what description is there

Let's wait until xgman get's it together, shall we? Let's see some stability shots

[wampir]

like I said , show me some 32M

[harpyboy]

like I said , show me some 32M

ignore my ignorance. but i hav been wondering for some time now.... is 32M stable more significant for testing ram... or memtest windows 300% or 500% more likely to show stableness ??

yeahhh... HOW MUCH ???? i forgot to ask even though this question has been in my mind

[yotomeczek]

Nice screenshots ...
But what about stability ??
Show Us GoldMem, Spi 32M, 2001 ...
Just screen with MHz it's not what I expect from stuff like this (350$ ??)

In my personal testing, the -2 series BIOS (510-2 is best IMO) and the yellow slots (much better electrically) are more stable above 300 mhz on the board. This was the only BIOS I could do 313mhz with.

xgman, try a -2 BIOS and yellow slot if you are not there now.

I have found that memtest86 will run great with my Venice core on the DFI NF4, yet I can't even boot to Windows. I just get a black screen. I use memtest86 form BIOS to insure (maybe) that my OS is safe and then boot and run 32m superpi for a "quick" stabilty test.

[xgman]

memtest shot. 3 ghz is pushing the limit of my X2 on water, but 2.5-3-3 holds for at least the 14 passes here at 300x10. A high end week 440 set I also have held here too, but only the ocz sticks would actually stay stable in windows at 2.5-3-3. The 440 needed to go to 2.5-4-3, but they are very close.

Codes on the sticks are K4H560838F TCCD week 519

Command rate is set to 1T in bios. I never run at 2T. You are right though, I just noticed that it was turned on in A64 by accident for the 300 shot. The other one shows it disabled. It's has been at 1T ever since. And I could care less about "showing off". I'm just posting some very "non scientific" quick results because people have asked and I happen to have an early set. I'll leave the "showing off" to other guys. It's not my style dude. Ask anyone who knows me.

@xgman,

Can you actually run some benches in Windows for us, please? I believe memtest1.60 is the least of interests for many of us here Many times "memtest-pass" is an illusion

Can you show us some SPi32M or any other significant stabilty test. We're all here waiting for some DDR600 7-3-3-2.5-1T action. I bet those sticks have enough juice for it... we just really want to see it

[xgman]

Where is 704-2 still posted. Oscar pulled mots of them for the vcore bug.

Here is the everest etc., but I have the mem clocked down to 295 for this shot. It's either 295x10 or 222+x9 to get 2900+ out of this X2, so I'm torn between how to run it. The X2 cores will do 2950 together tops on water, so it's a bit limiting.

Also for you guys that are so cranky, The point of my post is not to set benchmarking records, do a in depth review, or show off how stable my rig is etc. I just wanted to get some quick info out there for anyone thinking of buying this stuff. Otherwise I could really care less. I've got plenty of good ram other than these as well. When I get a chance to run some stability tests, like I said, I'll post them but I've got some other more important things going on this weekend.

And for anyone looking for a line of "Super Ram", I don't think you will ever find it. What this is, is an attempt to get the odds up that your sticks will be decent overclockers in the 300 range. Any top end TCCD will be in this same ballpark. And the question was asked about TCC5, well I had those too and didn't care for them at all. What you guys have to remember, and it has been said over and over again, it's all in the binning process.
