Well...its that time of there when my mind is full of crazy idea's.

So on the list today is run 2400MHZ+ ram in a 2500K(yeah ).

So.....is it possible? coz i couldn't..

Board:P8Z68 Deluxe(can take some insane punishment)

Rams

Hyper X Predator KHX24C11T2K2/8X

Adata XPG 2400 C10

 

so...help?

DDR3-2400 memory multiplier does not work on retail Sandy Bridge CPUs, only on some early ES chips.

The 1:9 divider doesn't work on retail SB chips, if that's what you're planning to do.

 

Edit: ^ What he said.

Use Ivy for RAM OC.

SB CPU IMC does not support RAM dividers higher than 1:8.

For 2400 MHz RAM clock on SB you need at least 112.5 BCLK.

so basically no chance..even if i get a 2600K?

 

damn you Intel...what about on the AMD side? got an 8350 lying in my table.

[TaPaKaH]

using an AM3+ or an Ivy chip, the 1200MHz mem is possible, unless you get a CPU with a really bad IMC

Before this was a known fact to me I tried with ss on south bridge and ln2 on CPU ,and still couldn't hit 2400mhz. Not saying it can't be done but. I will say its a waist of time. Also unlike ivy Sandy dies pretty quickly with too much vtt.
