Hi,

Just a quick post to say this kit is awesome. Although pricey you definitely get Corsairs rampant binning.

Will do 2400 c9 @ 1.65v all day long, but what is more impressive is it will do 2133@ CL 8-10-10-27 T1 @ 1.58. Still playing to see if I can get the volts lower.

Awesome memory, but at a cost.
 
CL9 2666 is where its at man on Ivy E. Although C8 2133 is ok for sure. PSC will go C7 2400 though.

These Samsungs you recon??

Test 2666 C9-12-12-25 or 28 1.92 just try.

Try TRAS 20 or 21 also.
 
I bought the same kit a few weeks back.

Seemed by far the best bang for buck as far as Plats go. The 2666 Mhz was an extra £70 (about 35% with a 16GB kit) or so and was only rated @2666Mhz with 1.65v, not as the 2133 is, @ 1.5v.

Seems to overclock nicely but am running at stock. Also seems to undervolt okay too.

Can do 9-12-11-21 t1 at 2400 @ 1.67. Will put 1.9 through it and do as suggested. Although need 1.19-1.2v vcsaa for 2400. Not sure if Sammy IC will check out later
 
Unless your running 6+ cores (real) and/or high end multi GPU 2133/8 or 2400/9 will probably bring the best overall performance. 2133/8/1.58 is a pretty nice result.
 
I wouldn't run 2666 24/7 especially at that voltage. The RAM would be fine with but the cpu definitely won't thank you for it. It's good for short runs though.

I'm running a 4960 @ 4.77 1.380v and three 780ti
 
Yeah will do, just having a play now with cl8 still

@1.7v

2064Mhz (8-9-9-27-T1)

IMC is rated for up to 1.65v by Intel so running 1.9v through it will potentially kill your cpu indirectly, but very slowly lol. Short runs are fine but any more than 1.8v 24/7 you'll degrade it

So banging 1.8/1.9v into the ram is ok for the odd benchmark run? What about the Cpu! Could it damage that in anyway or degrade it?

RAM tends to be more susceptible to the effects of electromigration than other components, while short runs of high voltage might be ok (as it usually takes a combination of voltage and a certain amount of heat over time) it won't take long to potentially kill it.

Aside from benchmarking and systems you intended to use purely for overclocked gaming type use I'm not a big fan of pushing RAM too far as the performance gains are typically extremely small to non-existant in many cases for a fairly hefty increase in the possibility of premature failure in something thats fairly integral to stable system operation and data integrity.

Ok Cheers!

Was more concerned about damage to the Cpu more than anything else.
 
It's not that exciting, I should have removed the holy ****. I forgot I had SLI enabled :D.

The Physics score for Catzilla is still pretty high though. Stock GPUs and 2300. Was previously getting around 2100 at same CPU clocks withs GPUs at balls to wall. Bench just loves tight memory.

Here's my efficiency now though after trying Neil's timings (same kit)

Still @ 1.65v. Can't seem to get 8-9-9 without more volts
