OCZ 2GB DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Value

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.

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.

1333MHz DDR which is 667 x 2

1333Mhz is the equivelent to SDRAM
 
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.

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.

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.
