Memory Heaven (air/extreme)

There was about time for this board to have a thread on it's own since i personally believe it's a dream for clocking memory.So if you got any results to share or any tips or tricks feel free to share. I will start with my own: DDR3-2750 8-12-8 all tight on normal ambient easy: DDR3-2980 9-12-12 all tight on normal ambient easy: DDR3-2933 8-12-12 all tight on dice -50 samsung madness:

Hi all please share some pics and tips about DIMM insulation. I'm able to run it 1-1.5 hours and then game is over - random reboots, errors, 55 post code. According to my experience it is better to avoid vaseline in empty slots and it is better to avoid Bostik/Blutaс for board insulation. Do you use fans for this area ot let it be frozen? How to avoid short circuits? Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.

Hi all i need your help to understand this setting in my bios MSI Z97 mpower max can you tell me how does it work the setting IO compensation and RTL Init value, if i play with this setting i can go with a crazy timming on RTL and IO timming on HCH9 and i can close a superpi32m with this timming too.

Some corsair with samsung chips are about to arrive to my door , i only have a 2600k to test them with, could i expect cas 6 or cas 7 at 2133? i'm out of the loop for so long i don't know how these will cope with old sandy

Test Setup : Asus CUSL2-C Intel Pentium III 1 Ghz Corsair HX850 OCZ Vertex And memory of course : Testing conditions : Test1 : 150 Mhz 2-2-2-7 POST + boot windows + SuperPi 512K Test2 : 160 Mhz 2-2-2-7 POST + boot windows + SuperPi 512K Ambient air : 20°C vDIMM : 3.4v They will deserve 3 Awards : Crap Award Test1 Ok Award Test2 Ok Award Let's start testing

Hi, With proper motherboard like Asrock Z87 OCF or Asus Impact, these cpus can do overclock? the IMC could support 2600+ MHz? (sorry for my english) Thanks for the info

hi guys, i have a pair of Adata XPG V2 2400 11-13-13-35, and i what to know if this are better of my old Samsung 2600 10-13-12-31 (hyperpi 32 stable)! i found stability at 2800mhz 11-13-13-35 1T with referesh interval at 8000 and 1,75v, on mem tweakit i see 41306 of dram efficency......ram are stable at 4hyperpi 32m! what did you think??? thanks;)

Hello guys, I have 2 couples of ddr equipped with samsung TCCD chips (2x512 Mushkin XP4400 and 2x512 G.Skill 3200FX) that i've used for many years in my main pc. Now, all of 'em still works, but thay have lost the CL2.5 and 3 (due to electromigration probably) and even if they work quite decently cas2 (mushkins can do 255-260mhz 2-3-3-5) i was wondering:there is something i can do to try to resuscitate the higher cas? Here's a vintage (almost 10 years old lol) screen of what the mushkin were capable of

Hi all, Bargin basement overclocker here. I bought a set of Corsair Vengance Pro 2133 C9 and according to the Corsair serial number list they contain Micron IC's. My initial testing as seen 2600 9-11-11 1.75v but not 32m stable and into windows at 2666 9-11-11 1.85v or 2666 10-14-14 at 1.65v. Wondering if anybody else has played with these new Micron IC's and how they went. Cheers FqqTBawL

Guys, these lame Kingston Technology two 512MB sticks have bad even the SPD values: 2.5-3-3-8 (at least at 2.5V), but I wonder, if someone can suggest how to push them beyond 229MHz. Because they did not make the 229MHz even stable. They seems to work: ...but then fail bad I did not exactly want to reduce the O/C, so I was tweaking as much, as I can and get them at these timings: To run semi-stable. Good for benches, bad for usage. What shocked me, that for example even 2.90V to them did not improve stability a bit (in fact, things get worser...!!!). So auto (therefore around the 2.5V) seems to work best. Then I tried relaxing the TRRD, TRWT from 2 t…

How much voltage is considered to be safe for aircooled CFR ? Just for max validation ... not benching. I want to see if this mem module have any more speed left (or my IMC perhaps). http://hwbot.org/submission/2480558_tasos_memory_clock_ddr3_sdram_1727.8_mhz

Decided to give this Vengeance kit a shot. I've had it in the office for a while now, and never really pushed. Country Cup gives me a bit of motivation to see how good they are. Turns out they're not that bad System pics

Today we venture into some memory, the ADATA 2800C12 MFR kit. This is my first experience with MFR, and I have read all the editorials on MFR, and this is my take. I have always been the type of overclocker who enjoys getting high validations, but I also understand the need for efficiency especially when it comes to benchmarks. I will take a look at this kit, and push it on air and see how far we can get it in single DIMM, 2 DIMM, and 4 DIMM configurations. I also will do efficiency comparisons with 2DIMMs V 4DIMMs for those interested, which should take care of some of the lack of efficiency that comes from single sided kits. First off I will take a look at the kit:…

When I was looking for a ram pot, I always saw the same thing, a pot fix on small heatsinks. Everybody make the same stuff and put is name on it... So I made something new (I think), not for commercial purpose, but for pleasure. Feel free to make your own ram pot, I can send you the drawing for free, but please, don't sell it without "autorisation". The idea is to make something different, with only one goal, increase performance. I don't care of how easy it's to use or if i have to use lot of tim or if it works with ddr, ddr2, ddr3... Here you can see my idea, it's like a "direct in touch ram pot". For performance point of view, it's really better, and "load" &a…

First time on the baby board, just a monster for hynix. You read people saying this and you think yeahhhh surrrre but this was quite easy to accomplish on it. The mem is scaling like crazy I believe Im being held back by my retail IMC, will try ES I think that has a bit more ballz tomorrow and update. This CPU and stick will run 1770mhz 1.65v on air for reference 1930 1.725vDimm :eek::eek: 1990 1.775vdimm 2057 1.85vdimm More to come :yepp:

So Ive had this board for a few weeks now and have done a few cold memory sessions on it,board is awesome.Here a few sessions Ive done and hope to improve on these results as I get use to Haswell. 5Ghz CPU-SS Memory Ln2 Something I was working on last session Some Memory air testing

Hey guys after Asrock 8 series competition i decided to play a little bit with my good PSC and here are the Validations of Cl6,7,8 i also got the Cl9 over 3400 but CPUz corrupted also played 32m 5G and got 56.047 at 2666 C6-10-6-60 but screen corrupted lol :rofl::rofl: but here we go at least i could save 3 nice validations 4770K Asrock OCF 1.6 bios G.SKILL 2400 C8 2.3V 3236MHz CL6 Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://valid.canardpc.com/brgcum 3220MHz CL7 Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://valid.canardpc.com/pq4l2c 3235MHz CL8 Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://valid.canardpc.com/7lnn83 som…

So I've been reading a lot about MFR IC's and how they offer very low performance compared to other kits running at around the same speed. So my question is ; Does this only affect single sided kits? Do dual sided kits offer acceptable performance? If so what dual sided kits are there on the market that I could purchase. Cheers for your time everyone Lewis.

Hynix MFR Memory on ASUS MAXIMUS 6 IMPACT with 4K result lasts weeks ago I have free time for test some Memory with Hynix MFR chipset.

So decided to start binning retail for the Asrock comp and figured it would be a good idea to use ram which has been tested thouroughly, i.e. more than one board with multiple cpu's. This kit always seemed to stop at 2600 and did not seem to like volts nor extreme cold. With this cpu, -133c is good for the memory and 2.15v is working great not to mention 2700+ is good, see below:yepp: Can't have it all though right, cb on this particular sample is -110c, playing with input voltages does nothing for max clocks or max pi stable clocks, such a disappointment, but it seems binning cb is the most important thing as -110c is not going to go nearly as far as -135c+. …

So decided to freeze some Samsung as on air it absolutely kills most ic's and even though many believe cold doesn't bring much benefit, in my case I was able to go much further on LN2 than any of my air results. Tested a new cpu, which may be the best Hasfail I have seen in my hands, safe vccin and safe vcore as I would like to keep this one around for a while:p: Setup is the OG Inflection and Triple Point sitting on top of factory Trident X heat spreaders as it was more than enough for this ic. some 5Ghz 32m action: uploading video of the above atm, even though it is slightly above the limit in the screenshot. think this …

So picked up a retail Z87 OCF and ended up testing the same set of Ripjaw Z 2400 c8's that were voltage limited to 1.96v on Ivy. Initial Dram voltage and Eventual Dram voltage got me around this brick wall and have allowed me to use 2.1v now which has allowed me run this kit higher than before. The Conformal coating on my board is very uniform throughout and the only vaseline that was added was on to the ram slots, everything else is paper towel and some Frost King, such a breeze to insulate. This is a great idea that should be implemented on multiple components such as vga cards, and ram modules as well, for those of us that love to freeze the ram. …

I found information saying that Elpida BDBG ICs are not good for OC but apparently not so watch the results of these Kingston T1 2333 MHz provided by oZeros.com and Kingston Chile the hardware used is a 3770k (3240c354), Asus MVE & 2x1 Gb Kingston T1 2333 MHz c9 (CPU & Rams i use air cooling, 20°C) stock 2133 MHz 6-10-6-27-1T @1.65v 2300 MHz 6-10-6-27-1T @1.75v (1.766v real) With 1.82v in BIOS (1.835v real) and without moving 2ry/3ry timings 2400 MHz 6-11-6-30-1T!
