This stuff is Good.
If i didn't already have 8GB of ram this would be the stuff.

OCZ are telling me they do even better on Intel boards...p45 6-6-6-24 1333 is on the cards they are saying so a good P35 should do OK also

We can only wait & see but could it be a little over optimistic.

Gents

If you are looking for 1333 ram go ddr3 and run 5-5-5-18 as its faster

and yes I know that means changing your motherboard.

I actually think this is the best post..8GB 1066 1.65V with DDR2...just killer

I never knew that you came here

I'm sure that you must have some DDR3 ram on the way that can do that.

verbal · 13 May 2009 at 20:02

Placed an order for these. Hope I can push my E7300 overclock with them.

1333 5-5-5-24 1T can be hard to do ddr3, some IC's do it some don't. My point was people looking for DDr2 to do 1333 would do better going DDR3 as its a LOT easier with less juice, you just meed the right IC's.

The Blades are now being binned for speeds, we have 1066, 1150 and 1200, on the website. I still feel the 1066 will clock like crazy but you may need to raise voltage to 1.85 or so. Note I did NOT say 2V or anything stupidly higher, tiny jumps with these is all it takes...going from 1.82 to 1.83 may get you from unstable to stable.

Alright my curiosity is peaked... What would this ram do for my setup? An extra 100, 200, 300mhz? Will it drop temps in my system? Is it worth while to upgrade my current sticks to these?

Mariusz · 15 May 2009 at 20:39

Might have to purchase some of these, only got 2GB 800mhz so 4GB of this should provide a nice boost.

verbal · 19 May 2009 at 18:04

Just FYI the PCBs are black and the heatspreaders look a lot better than the pic that's everywhere online including OcUK.

gurusan · 19 May 2009 at 18:43

Those look awesome

Chaapa'ai · 1 Jun 2009 at 07:38

Ordered some of these last Thursday... Can't wait. My 800mhz sticks just cannot hang above 900 mhz and my Q9650 wants to go higher!

Rroff · 1 Jun 2009 at 16:58

I just bought some of the 1150 stuff - if the PCB is indeed black I will be very happy. Green PCB is so 90s

gurusan · 1 Jun 2009 at 18:47

I might have to order a pair tomorrow.

drew64 · 1 Jun 2009 at 21:21

would having 4 of these in a 8gb set up.

A) provide any kind of increase perfomance in multitasking, over 4x1gb
B) hinder any kind of overclock. (not extreme overclocking)

Rroff · 2 Jun 2009 at 17:59

yay - mine have black PCBs and look far nicer than the pictures of them online - even better than the pics verbal posted...

Just giving them a memtest atm - went straight in at rated settings and booted to BIOS fine which was a suprise as this motherboard isn't the best known for its RAM support.
