OCZ 2GB DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Value

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-112-OC&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=923

Looks good for the money doesn't it :)

Although rated to run at 667 Mhz 9-9-9-27, I bet it would do CAS 6 at 500Mhz.

Hi there

Its rated to run at 1333MHz CAS9 with 1.5v :)

So the potential in this should be pretty good, the OCZ Platinum stuff hits around 1800MHz and would not be surprised if this stuff could be persuaded to hit 1600-1800MHz with a bit more voltage. So for the money its good value and is finally making the transition to DDR3 more affordable.
 
The latency is so high on DDR3.. Is this a big trade off for the higher frequency?

Hi there

I believe DDR3 only really shows a performance increase once you push past the 1600-1800MHz region, depending what CAS latency your at. Some DDR3 is now hitting 2000MHz at high latencies but even so this is incredibly fast just down on the motherboard supporting it properly.
 
Why not just state it runs at 1333mhz as it does (some peeps get confused), all Memory and Mobos are marked on the DDR speed (ie 1333FSB Mobo).


Are people telling you i'm confusing them? Or is it just you getting confused?

An intel motherboard with a quad pumped FSB of 1333Mhz (333 x 4) isn't the same as DDR3 1333 (667 x 2)

My way make it clearer.

1333MHz DDR which is 667 x 2

1333Mhz is the equivelent to SDRAM

Let get someting clear you dont seem to be able to grasp in this and in the past threads

All Mobos I have owned since 2001 are DDR, they all in Big Letters on the Box spec the DDR FSB.

Thats all 266FSB, all 333FSB, all 400FSB and now Intel 1333FSB Mobos,

They do not spec as 133FSB/166FSB/200FSB or 667FSB Mobos.

All CPU's, Mobo and Memory are sold specing their DDR speeds.


Anyone saying the their new Mobo (example) Striker II Extreme has a 1333FSB is 100% correct, the same goes if they have a E8500 CPU and the same goes for saying they bought some 1600mhz DDR3.

"Your Way" is not the way all CPU/Mobo and Memory makers use so not the way I will talk about speeds.

What is the real actual speed of 1600Mhz DDR3?

Not its rated equivelent speed but its real speed.

Going back to last year, Did you read an awful lot of posts on "which memory do I need for my C2D?"

Most uninformed people thought they had to buy PC8500 to run 1:1 with an E6600 for example as it was sold as DDR1066 which matched the number of the CPU's FSB.
Which was incorrect as they only needed PC4200 to run 1:1, anything over this at the time was classed as overclocking memory.

Regardless, its sold as 1600mhz, the CPU is sold as a 1333FSB CPU so is the Mobo sold as a 1333FSB Mobo.

Do you want me to Scan in Boxes of Mobo/CPU/Memory or point to any Manu's site ?.

I am not saying this to be bad to you but fact are we talk about the DDR speed since DDR266.

The Clock Speed of DDR2 800mhz is actually 200mhz (Core Clock is 100mhz) if you would like to know.

I seem to remember you insulting Yellowbeard the last time this was on topic.

From James Millers post:

"
Standard name : Memory clock : Cycle time : I/O Bus clock : Data transfers per second : Module name : Peak transfer rate
DDR2-400 100 MHz 10 ns 200 MHz 400 Million PC2-3200 3200 MB/s
DDR2-533 133 MHz 7.5 ns 266 MHz 533 Million PC2-4200 4266 MB/s
DDR2-667 166 MHz 6 ns 333 MHz 667 Million PC2-5300 5333 MB/s
DDR2-800 200 MHz 5 ns 400 MHz 800 Million PC2-6400 6400 MB/s
DDR2-1066 266 MHz 3.75 ns 533 MHz 1066 Million PC2-8500 8533 MB/s "

You know that, I know that, but the average person on the street doesn't. It's irks me because there's a constant stream of people posting on here totally confused by what's going on with their RAM with respect to their FSB.

I was not getting at you m8, lol

Its the same for peeps buying a "SATA2 HDD", there is no such thing, even the writer of the sticky has admited this but says its what peeps now seem to go by.

If someone says they OC'd there new Intel CPU to 500FSB, I know what they mean, if they said they OC'd it to 2000FSB I know what they mean (same speed).

I however choose to post CPU's and Mobos the same way the Manu do and thats the DDR FSB (be it AMD or Intels Quad Pumped).

For Memory I will either call it by its DDR Speed (same as Manu) or buy its Bandwidth name (same as Manu). :)

I'm not saying it's wrong. I'm just explaining the rated speeds in real terms.

You don't need DDR3 1333 to run 1:1 with a 1333 FSB CPU that's all.

Most uninformed people will think they do.
 
I never said that, that was your fight with Mav.

Asus do state 1333FSB and 1333mhz Memory as 1:1 in the Bios BTW on both DDR2 and DDR3 NF6/7's.

To run it at 1333mhz and 667mhz (1:1 to most and CPU-Z) is Linked and Sync'd AFAIR.

Im now off to SUE Intel/Asus and Corsair :p

3 Linked and Synced baby. In every single over-clocking guide I have seen the first thing they say to do is unlink the FSB and Ram. I strongly disagree. This was a common over-clocking practice during the P4 days of the past, when the FSB was 800Mhz and anything faster than DDR 400 was tough to come by. By today’s standards that would be 1066 and DDR2 533, are any of you running DDR2 533? I didn’t think so. Even I managed to scrounge up some DDR2 800.
So linked and synced your FSB to Ram ratio will be like this…

QDR 1066 =DDR2 533
QDR 1333 =DDR2 667
QDR 1500 =DDR2 750
QDR 1600 =DDR2 800
QDR 1800 =DDR2 900
QDR 2133 =DDR2 1066

This provides what I consider a true 1:1 FSB/Ram ratio, see images below. I know this is going to upset a lot of people that bought uber fast Ram. Hear me out (or write your own guide, lol). You should be able to run your Ram at whatever speeds you want, but as many have noticed this (speeds above 1000Mhz (this may be better now that p25 is out, I'm testing)) seems to be an issue with the 680i at this time. For the sake of stability I have found this to be a better option, without sacrificing much, if any, performance. Proof is further down.
 
What does the linked picture prove?

I never said it was wrong, I'm saying it confuses people into thinking they need DDR3 1333 to run 1:1

So that's why I explain that DDR3 runs at a true speed of 667Mhz, Where they only need PC5300 DDR667 to run 1:1.
