Very interesting.

very nice. are you atleast able to tighten timings with cputweaker or a program of the like?

because even at stock speeds I was able too tighten timings to 7-8-7-20-1t. but that was 1.5v I am curious as to if the so-DIMM IC's can muster any increase.

on the current sodimm's in my i3 330m, it will do 7-6-6 but i can not change first cas in cpu tweaker

Everything is in and running. I have started with everything set to auto except for memory at 1.5v and 1T. It booted right up to 9,9,9,24 1T

I will be tweaking the timings and speeds for the next couple days and will post as I go so let me know some tests you guys want on them.

You could just try the speeds and timings from the review.

Sure, state the obvious why don't ya. BTW here is a shot of my chips.

EDIT 1: So far the 7,8,7,20 is not stable. I can get into Windows fine but Super PI 32m fails on the first round. I even upped them to 1.6v. 2T and 1T changed nothing as well.

EDIT 2: In an attempt to be lazy I was hoping to keep everything as my sig states and pop in the ram which has not worked. I have since put everything else to stock and so far seem to be more stable at 7,8,7,20 1T. I'll repost after I get some speeds worth posting.

[johan851]

They're OOS now. Of course.

[BugFreak]

Update: After setting everything back to stock I still can't get the pc stable at 7,8,7,20 T1 1600. It did pass Memtest+ at 7,8,7,20 1T 1333 all night though. So far I have tried up to 1.65v to try and get it stable but tests 4 or 5 fail every time.

My other settings are:
cpu- 2800
cpuv- 1.475v
cpu/nb- 1.25
vdda- 2.5v
nbv- 1.2
nb1.8- 1.8
htv 1.2
sbv 1.10

I realize the volts might be high for stock but they are what the pc has ran stable with sig speeds for months so I just left them as is. Let me know any thoughts or ideas on getting it stable and I'll give them a shot.

Current settings I am testing are below.

[johan851]

That's disappointing. I'd be interested in the higher bandwidth tests too, since that's what SB seems to like.

[bmwbaxter]

I was also running on an i7 870 that has been known to have a very stong IMC. try running a higher speed see if you can get atleast 1800mhz @ 9-9-9-24.

also is your system able to do 1600mhz @ 8-8-8-20?

[BugFreak]

I was just able to get through a couple passes of Memtest at 8,8,7,24 1600 so I am going to start playing with the speed to see if I can get anything. I'm trying to keep the faith but it is fading quickly.

johan I'll try and get higher bandwidths going but this setup is only confirmed stable at 1600 and is an AMD after all. I'll repost in a bit.

[BugFreak]

Well after multiple settings and tests I can't get the system stable with these sticks in. Based on the voltages above does anyone have some input on what could be changed to make it a little more stable? Otherwise I am going to call these a dud.

[bmwbaxter]

Are they listed on your motherboards qualified vendors list?

[johan851]

A bit of a resurrect, but I finally grabbed some of this RAM to replace my Mushkin. Most DDR3 doesn't overclock worth crap beyond its rated specs, and all I was able to do with my Mushkin was to go from 9-9-9 1T to 8-9-8 1T at 1600MHz with a voltage bump.

I've been playing with the Samsung this morning. All the dual channel kits are sold about, but I grabbed two individual 4GB sticks. I got a clean pass of Memtest86+ at 2133MHz, 10-11-10-27 1T @ 1.47v. I'm running a Prime95 blend now. Pretty awesome stuff!

Running these at 2000 9-9-9-24 1T @ 1.55v 24/7 here
