In this thread i would like to compile a list of Ram from all the various manufacturers with there stock speed/timings and settings that you folks have achieved through overclocking.
This list will help others determine what Ram to possibly buy for there build and to achieve there best system performance/effiency.
Many people will say just get the cheapest 1600MHz kit out there as it makes hardly any difference, in most cases this is correct, but this is an overclockers forum and a few seconds shaved off here and a few more FPS there can mean everything. :D
I find myself looking on other forums to find this kind of information out, i want it here on OCUK's forums.
This list will potentially help others in overclocking there Ram and give them a ball park figure to aim for, many times Ram is forgotten, its generally all about the cpu but most of us know what a 3770k, 2500k or a 3930k should possibly achieve through an overclock but we dont know what most Ram can do, so this is what this list is for.

So for this list here is an example of what i want.

Make/model/stock clocks,timings,volts/OC clocks,timingsvolts/part no./socket/board manufacturer and finaly model.

G Skill Ripjaws Z 2133MHz 9-11-10-28-1T, 1.65v/OC 2446MHz 10-12-11-28-1T, 1.69v
Part No. F3-17000CL9Q2-32GBZH/X79 ASUS R4E

I shall enter this info as a list in the post below, if you would like to post a benchmark such as SuperPi that is fine but no score will be added, this an informative thread and not a league table. When more than 1 of the same part number is entered i will edit the list to include the max possible overclock.

Memory related BSOD's

0x0A = unstable RAM/IMC, increase QPI first, if that doesn't work increase vcore
0x1A = Memory management error. It usually means a bad stick of Ram. Test with Memtest or whatever you prefer. Try raising your Ram voltage
0x9C = QPI/VTT most likely, but increasing vcore has helped in some instances
0x50 = RAM timings/Frequency or uncore multi unstable, increase RAM voltage or adjust QPI/VTT, or lower uncore if you're higher than 2x
0x109 = Not enough or too Much memory voltage

I have tested endless RAM and have some new stuff now for Haswell so I will update this post as need be.
 
I nearly bought the same gskill memory that your waiting on pgi but manages to get hold of my current ram for a very good price, and it overclocks incredibly well, could probably go further with someone who knows what their doing with ram overclocking. If I remember correctly, the ram you have purchased should overclock very well. Have fun and enjoy :-)
 
Surprised on some of the high voltages on some of the samsung green ram here.

I get

They used to, not sure why they don't anymore, perhaps to push the team group stuff?

I did find something the other week from a hardware rep saying something like g.skill & corsair get first pick of IC's and the rest pretty much get the leftovers. Which is probably why Kingston, geil etc... only put out poorer but cheaper dimms.

Perhaps someone from ocers would care to explain why Gskill is missing from their range???
