PC3500 EB results on K8N Neo Platinum, 3200+ NewCastle *updated*
PC3500 EB 2 x 512
Well, I've only got 2.85 vdimm to play with but this memory is some really strong stuff. I had it memtest stable at 266 FSB, but the BIOS setting was "Auto" and not "max speed = 200" so, from my understanding, the mobo was actually using a divider and I wasn't seeing a true 266 speed. Sooooo...
I've got it running at 252 x 9 1:1 3-3-3-8, prime and memtest stable. The chip doesn't seem to like more than 2.27G no matter how much voltage I feed it, so I think i'm capped out there. Regardless, it feels like a great step up from my 2600M @ 2.4 (12 x 200) and the benches reflect that. I'm gonna keep playing with it, hopefully the chip will settle in and allow a 2.3+ overclock, but even if I stay where I'm at now, I should be alright. So, there ya have it, OCZ PC3500EB gets two thumbs up from me.
