    I'm gonna sound like an ass for a second here but hear me out guys, almost all the ddr1 stages require 4coredual which is a very rare board so how different is allowing z170 ddr3 boards when they're a little less rare and the stages where it would even be relevent are all single core benches so it'd be a simple case of drop in 7700k, 7350k, etc. Just saying if we're allowing s775 ddr1 we ought to allow z170 ddr3 ;) 

     

    Alright that's the end of my case for allowing them lol, other than them just being cool but most niche hw is for me.

    I say ban both as this comp is going to turn into an lga 775 comp pretty quickly with all the dual core sata II action

    I am looking to buy an asus x48 board that can do at least 640-650 fsb in 32M with decent memory settings in dual channel with the north bridge on ambient.

    PSC as a possible alternative to hypers on lga 775

    I tried experimenting with this multiple times in the last decade, but I don't think you can do much better than Hypers on X48. Ultimately, it's all a matter of convenience - the only way to beat ambient Hypers is running cold on your memory. However, given how many more variables it adds to the troubleshooting procedure, how poorly-designed X48 boards are from reliability standpoint, and how difficult good boards are to replace in case of death, it's not really worth the effort.

    Still, if we want to have a theoretical discussion:
    D9GTR: single-sided sticks usually need high tRFC (60+) above 1025-ish and 1000+ capable dual-sided sticks are impossible to find (I wasn't able to do so in 11 years)
    BBSE: on ambient you're likely to hit the same IMC cap as Hypers while running looser tRCD, on cold you can probably do tRCD 6 at 1000-1050 which could be interesting (given that BBSE also like tight-ish tRAS and tRFC)
    BDBG / PSC: even on cold you're not likely to go below tRCD 7 at 1050, so you'll be losing to ambient Hypers, especially given that BDBG/PSC run looser tRAS and tRFC

    I am definitely not going to be beating hypers especially if you took the hypers cold then it is just game over for every other ic. I will be happy with this experiment if I can get something to run as fast as half decent hypers on ambient. The nest two ic's I am hopefully going to try see highly binned D9GTR and if I can get the chance I am going to try super high binned BBSE on single stage and cascade to see if I can get any good results.
