Afternoon 8pack, I understand you're away on 'business' at the moment so no rush for a reply!

I finally managed to lay my hands on what I belive to be a psc kit, ripjaws X 1600 6-8-6 1.5v, whats a realistic primary set to be aiming for with these? And at what point should I be looking to give them better cooling? A quick play got me ddr2000 7-8-7 1.5v & I'll see what 1.75v does for them at the weekend.

Second kit I got my hands on is the team group 2666 c11 kit! Timings look like samsung ic's, though trfc is going nuts at auto, setting its self at 457, I tried 114 but got no boot, though I haven't adjusted sa or io yet....which leads me to my next question, whats the voltage limit on these? Still ~1.2v?

The chip you guys sent me is a monster, pushing above 5ghz without breaking a sweat :D

4770k & x-oc
 
Please, I keep drawing a blank with it, even 160 trfc with 1.7v dram, 1.18v io & 1.15 sa wouldn't post, perf at 467 is slower then the c11 1866 kit!!

This is the 'XMP' timings:

Its dire considering I had some cheap ripjaws at 2440 10-12-12-21-1T tRFC 81 on X79.

Hopefully I'm missing something, otherwise its going back.

Cheers! Will give them a try later, it also appears tweaking preset options (turbo & extreme) do absolutely nothing either.

Will give it until sunday to see some improvements in these sticks, if not dsr it is. Still completely confused by the mega high rfc on xmp, gives the impression these have been slackened and mhz pushed up to sound more appealing then they actually perform.
 
F3 I think? I'll flip the switch and flash X2 later (had completely forgotten about X2). And retry the psc kit. The bios has a 2666 psc tight preset, that asking a little too much of the kit?

Whats your take on the team group 2666 kit that won't budge from a high trfc? Granted I do need to push sa and ioa/iod higher first, the only tweak it's been successful in so far is up to 1T
 
Ahhhh, just done some reading up on hynix mfr, interesting, basically it sacrifices timings in order to hit massive speeds? To what voltage do they scale? Would seem going by a post a few months back on the bot that mfr can also be quite rare!

Np I'll stay away from the preset, dont want to fry the psc I've spent the last 4 months trying to find!

Looks like I'll have a fun weekend ahead of me :D
Thanks so far Ian, awesome as always sir :)
 
Christ on a bike, 1.9v!! This is going to be fun :D

Haven't ventured above 1.75v on DDR3 before!

IMC dependant, is DDR3000 C12 a realistic aim for the MFR kit?

While I remember too, io digi & analog, scale both at the same time?

You still in SFO?
 
Cheers bud, I'll get cracking tomorrow/saturday and report back!

@Frozennova, was looking at similar kits at the same time, narrowly missed out one some C6 PI's around that point too! Get a move to Ivy(e)/Haswell to get the best out of them!
 
That's still not bad for a p2, or amd chips in general! All in good time mate, keep an eye on the mm!

8pack, just so I understand this correctly...x2 disables memory training, am I right in thinking that this means the system will attempt to force boot to windows regardless of stability? So I dont have to sit through 30 seconds of the training failing before I can get back to the bios?
 
May not need to bother mate, this kit is going back for sure now...

Got the X02 bios up and running (sooo many memory options!!) started turning up the heat on the TG's, was just about booting into windows at ~2800 C12, then I hear a clanging sound, look down to see one side of the heatspreader has fallen off! Seriously!!

That is how it came out of my rig, in 2 parts, I had to kill the power instantly as the heatspreader is metal, and was threatening to fall on to something valuable!

Not happy at all, how can a 3 day old spreader just fall apart?

Won't be getting them replaced like for like, care to recommend me something else? Preferably not Team Group.
 
Right, MFR's are back in the box now the red mist has cleared and I figure out what to do with them.

PSC time!!

X2 bios, DRAM 1.85v (haven't tried lower/higher yet!) SA 1.25v, IO(A/D) 1.25v.

Started with the 'TeamAU GSkill PSC 2400-2600 TIGHT' profile:

Decided to stop being a little girl about the heatsink falling off, put it back on and back clocking them today, managed this so far, DRAM 1.8v, SA/IOA/IOD all stock :D

Though even when bumping all voltgages, as soon as I got from 100.00 x 29.33 to 100.01 x 29.33 system instantly decides it doesn't want to boot past splash?

Perf is shocking though, still may cut my losses and send them back.

That was a premature screeny to see of they were posting at that speed, had uncore at 45, ring at 1.27v, a good 10 seconds slower (spi) then 2400 c8.

Did you try 7-11-7 on the PSC??
Click to expand...

Yep, was a no go, at least for now anyhow, 1.9v dram, 1.25v SA/IOA/IOD, 4.5ghz uncore, 5.1ghz core, wouldn't shift below 8-12-8, unless I'm missing something else?

I'll have to get XP on another SSD for this, my windows 8 install is completely bloated and it doesn't help it trying to cycle recovery after every second failed post.


I'll get the MFR's back and grab some of the 2600 C10 dimms (samsung?).

Edit: whats power draw likely to be at with the above settings? Ropey dual rail hx1000, which essentially gives the core components a mere 500w, which will be less considring how old the thing is.

Righty, those team group dimms are back with you guys for refund...care to make a recommendation on my next memory purchase before the prices go ape? :D
 
Cheers Ian, I'll have a better look tonight at whats what.

I have sourced out uk stock of tridentx 2400 c10, same calibre as the avexir kit or higher binned? As I read a while back gskill & corsair usually get first pick.
 
Whaaaa!! When did you guys get gskill in stock????

Its not listed under the usual memory subs only under gskill.

This changes everything :D

I literally spent an hour last night looking for uk stock of those very dimms and all along they were right under my nose!

Anything mega special from their new kits?
 
Good man :D

Gskill finally back at a recognised retailer!

Was speaking to a friend last night about the 2400 c10 tridentx's...he turned around and said he had a spare set I could buy off him, oh the irony.

So should have them tomorrow or monday :D

Are those 7-8-7 & 9-11-9 kits psc too?
