ObscureParadox Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Hey guys, I've got a few sets of hypers here that I want to get rid of and I was wondering what you would consider good clocks for these kits and at what voltages. Would like it if it was laid in a manner such as ; 1600 C* 1.*v 1800 C* 1.*v 2000 C* 1.*v 2200 C* 1.*v etc etc Cheers guys Quote
TaPaKaH Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 My rule of thumb is test 1000 7-7-6 at 1.65V first. If it passes, try to minimise voltage (best kits will need 1.55-1.56) and then to proceed to other stuff, such as 900 6-6-5 or 1100 7-x-x. If it doesn't, the kit is not likely worth the attention.

ObscureParadox Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 Cheers dude, looks like I won't be testing on my Z97 though since its being very temperamental. Will do up to 2000MHz testing on X48 instead since that's what most people will buy it for anyway. Quote
TaPaKaH Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 You can usually get Hypers to run even on weak Z97 boards if you cap the bandwidth (which causes freezes) by downclocking CPU and/or uncore (to 1.6-2.4GHz). To bin for 1000MHz on X48 you first need a board that can reliably do it, and those are not easy to come across. Quote
ObscureParadox Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 I've got 2 that can do that fine. The Z97 is just really problematic anyway. Had a sub zero session with it the other day and has been playing up since. Quote
JunkDogg Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Good info in this thread as ive just got 6 sets of hypers as well. Which platform is best for testing these to those timings? Ive been through and tested them all to 7-7-6 2133(1066) on 1155. Would i be better off using 1150 or something else. I know 1156 or 1366 would be the best to test on but i dont have either. So with those two eliminated what would you guys test on? I have a heap other AMD socket s available as well. Quote
Administrators websmile Posted January 16, 2015 Administrators Posted January 16, 2015 1155 is fine, if you can you want further confirmation you can test these for 2200 7-7-6 on 1150 and 2400 8-8-8(7-8-7 or 7-8-8 if possible) as well, 1150 usually is harder on trcd so you can see absolute limits on these faster. Make sure to use good cpu clock (4ghz and above) to make sure you get best out of your kits, some Hyper can´t take higher bandwidth on new systems and therefore it is also a way to determine quality 1 Quote
JunkDogg Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Anything in particular for testing stability? Quote
Administrators websmile Posted January 16, 2015 Administrators Posted January 16, 2015 Super Pi 32m, you want these for benching I think, for 24/7 stability DOS memtest and hci memtest and prime blend for example, there are lots of different options Quote
JunkDogg Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Yeah just for benching. Just got to sort through a heap of different sets then on sell the worst for others to use in gaming machines etc. EDIT - Thanks for your help mate. Much appreciated. Quote
