Took my OCZ 2000CL8 sticks for a run on my new board: http://hwbot.org/submission/2977429_

 

Wow Nox... that's amazing

 

Congrats

Got them running at 2800MHz CL9 too, but they need 2.1V+.

What a difference a good board and IMC make - good job on my old 24/7 mems, they are not as bad as you thought first

Yep, that MSI board is really crap for PSC, the CPU didn't change it still needs +0.4V on SA for 2800 CL9 on the Z97 OCF: http://hwbot.org/submission/2979113

Air or cold?

That's on air I believe.

 

Also, yes, most (from what I've heard) MSI boards don't agree with PSC at all.

 

+0.4 SA on air is a risky game. Better you than me.

I had a Z87 MPower for a short time, I only did a few training checks with PSC using the presets. They worked, however command rate 2t at >1200MHz stopped me from spending more time with that board (maybe I failed, that's possible too ).

 

4x2GB 2400 7-11-7 1T

 

2666 8-12-8 2T

I had a Z97 Gaming 5 and it could do (some) PSC settings, but it required 0.15V+ than the OCF

That's what I saw with my Samsungs as well, needed another +100mV at 2800C9 over OCF to pass 32M

7min 23.375sec now with wazza: http://hwbot.org/submission/2979818

My first LN2 mem test at home - starring Z97M OCF and A-Data XPG 2000+:

 

No stable TRCD 11, I also couldn't stabilize 1333 multiplier although they did 2720C7 on dice previously. Mem full pot, -135 @2.15. I need to improve insulation

 

Time to pick next candidates for freezing:

That's a nice collection of mems! Unlucky with that run, but it's a good score still.

Out of curiosity - which RAM slots do you guys use, did you see a difference between yellow and black ones?

I don't have the OCF but I have the SOC Force from Gigabyte, I noticed I could not get 2800 CL9 to work whatsoever on my TridentX kit in the black slots (the ones closest to the CPU)

 

I switched to the orange slots, first try instantly booted, got RTL's tightened down and all secondary and tertiary's as well.

I was extremely mad at the time because I had been trying to use the closer slots for ages trying to get 2800 CL9 to work, and first try in the orange slots it posted like no big deal at all lol.

Only use the black ones mate

Well that seems a bit racist.

In fact there was no easy way out if PC was a goal

I do now, but for last year I used the other ones () and they worked just fine, I swapped them only when going subzero due to limited mounting space. And my small board is also wounded, I think I need to clean up the CPU socket.

They'll work fine for sure but it could reduce some memory MHz freq,so if your using memory in the black slots "psc say" @ max freq 2666 stable if you change to yellow slots those same psc would prob struggle to be stable @ 2666,well was in some testing that I've done.

 

I've had a z97 board that I wounded one of the black slots from moisture and it was pointless running my memory in the other slots due to less stability when trying to run 2800+ cl6

 

The book does state to run in the black slot position I believe

Excellent info, thanks a lot Bullant!

Testing some crappy 2200C7 Pi sticks here (1.95v for 2666C8??), fortunately they were dirt cheap.

 

Not that bad, considering tight thirds and TWCL = 6 on air. At least I wish mine did the same.

Some more PSC testing on the OCF (all air). DRAM=2.05V SA=+0.25 IOA/IOD=+0.2V

 

>>2666MHz tight without Wazza:

 

>>2666MHz tight with Wazza:

 

>>2750MHz tight-ish without Wazza:

Looks good mate,never tested those memory's but I like the 2666 nice and tight good work

 

 

Edit I just notice your dram volts,are they allowing you to go that high on air? Its strange they even post

Edited October 14, 20159 yr by Bullant

OCZ often are very voltage tolerant, I had a second kit which I made fast test on after I sold this one to noxinite and they also did boot above 1,95v, a Blade kit of 2000c9 bin with psc I had did 2600c8 at 2v

Yeah, it stops scaling at 2.06V. Just need to tweak OS and wazza a bit more.
