This thing is overclocking like crazy ...
RAM voltage is 2.46V
RAM has no mods and is running on stock heat sink
http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f3-12800cl9d-8gbxl This is the RAM I am using

Depends from IC these kits were scalling with voltage or not but 2.46V is just asking to kill it. This memory was on various IC: PSC, Elpida and Micron or Nanya, I don't really remember now.
My kits ( 2 kits of 2x4GB ) were running stable up to 1866 9-9-9 1.50V -> http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=7009689

@ OP- second time you've heard this in two threads. Heed the warning.

Babe this one was run at 2.18V for about half a year before I took away the other broken RAM and realized it can overclock like this

Check your IC here

2.46V is ridiculous. You're 65% over the rated voltage for little to no real-world gains.

Compare my bench mark with the 1600 9-9-9-24 guy http://www.overclockers.com/forums/s....php?p=7009689
I have way better results 1GB/s more load speed and lower latency I have a bench mark picture there

 

[ATMINSIDE]

That's a benchmark.

Honestly, can you notice gains from the 1600 speed? I seriously doubt it.

 

[dick66482209]

That's a benchmark.

Honestly, can you notice gains from the 1600 speed? I seriously doubt it.

Honestly the other guy 1866 got him 9.55gb/s 67 latency
1600 gpt him 9.23gb/s 69.4 latency
I got 10.55gb/s on 2000 with tight timings 55.5 latency
You should also notice my latency is way lower

That's a benchmark.

Honestly, can you notice gains from the 1600 speed? I seriously doubt it.

Edit 1: Speed gain is not about RAM, CPU
its about having enough RAM like 4gb RAM is already enough and any single core CPU is enough
Then the speed gain part is having a good hard drive like a ssd
Or a massive raid system
Gaining SPEED is about your HARD DRIVE
Overclocking doesn't get you speed increase in games or anything but hard drive does
Over clocking from 4GHZ to 10GHZ running on the same HDD won't even increase your performance 5% in gaming
But overclocking graphic card would

That's a benchmark.

Honestly, can you notice gains from the 1600 speed? I seriously doubt it.

Edit 2: To me overclocking is not really about speed gain its about breaking a world record or the passion and love for overclocking and acheaving a high clock speed
As I already experienced changing CPU from 2 core to 8 core didn't get me any speed I still overclock

 

[Mr.Scott]

LOL. You have much to learn about overclocking. Enjoy your system.

 

[freeagent]

Where's the crazy timings to go with the crazy voltage?

You can find much better sticks that will run fast and tight with way less voltage..

 

[dick66482209]

Also I mentioned that OC doesn't increase performance but when you always have high CPU usage then OC will INCREASE PERFORMANCE

Here's some 1600MHz RAM doing 1066(2133)MHz with 9-9-9 timings at 1.5v:

I'm amazed 2.45v hasn't fried the RAM yet. That's D9 territory, not much else lives long there. To be fair, D9s don't live that long there either.

 

[ChanceCoats123]

AND here is 1600mhz ram doing 2400mhz... At much better timings too... 1.75vdimm as well.

 

[awktane]

Agreed. That kind of voltage for everyday use is just plain crazy. You might as well buy more ram for when it croaks now. Memory degradation can be hard to spot. It may already be dying. I would run it through memory tests... no wait don't bother... that may be the straw that broke the camel's back.

I cannot tell the difference between 1600Mhz and 2666Mhz with my ram with very few exceptions. What are you doing that you are concerned about memory bandwidth?

 

[ChanceCoats123]

OR how about 2600 8-12-8 ~ 1.85vdimm?

I dont under stand how I beat you in some things then , is that jsut the difference of Ivy vs Haswell ?

And that's my bad set of ram!

What was your cpu speed? I've not run a lot of Maxxmem, but from what I understand, raising core speed helps to get better scores. I notice that your cache is at 4.4, so I assume you're running at least 4.4 on the core. I was at stock clocks with my 3770k. So it might be a few things. I know that Haswell definitely has a better IMC and that might help with the overall throughput of the RAM subsystem, but it might also just come down to the cpu speeds behind it all.

OS diffrence I can only use 4gb ram so your bench mark is way better

Edit 1: Guys give me proof that its a 1600 RAM doing 2166 or 2400 I don't belive you 1.6V running at that speed is impossible

Edit 2: Also don't give me bull**** your just running a 2166 RAM and talking crap 1600 is impossible to get that kind of timing with that low voltage

Edit 3:

Here's some 1600MHz RAM doing 1066(2133)MHz with 9-9-9 timings at 1.5v:

I'm amazed 2.45v hasn't fried the RAM yet. That's D9 territory, not much else lives long there. To be fair, D9s don't live that long there either.

You mean 2133 RAM doing its normal specs at normal voltage?> lol
1.5V OC from 1600 doing 2166 at that timing is impossible

The bottom kit (rated at PC 12800) is the kit I used for both of the screen shots I gave. Now I will admit I was well over the rated voltage, but I was only running 1.75vdimm for 2400@8-11-7-27-1T. For 2600@8-12-8-28-1T, I was using 1.875vdimm.

The kit that's on top (rated at PC 16000) does 2600@8-12-8-28-1T with 1.8vdimm for loose secondary or can run the secondary and tertiary timings much tighter with 1.825vdimm because those are a much better bin. I had the top set at 2800 8-12-8-28-1T on air, but the voltage was 1.9v+ (and only for a short while).

That's what you get when you spend a fair bit on ram. Notice in the serial number of all four sticks pictured, you find "1040." That signifies that the make of the actual ram chip used is X-series PSC. Which is pretty well known to clock to 2400 at 8-11-7 or 7-11-7, and then run 2600 at 8-12-8. I only use those sticks for benchmarking though, as they cost me quite a bit when compared to a run of the mill set of ram. For daily use, I use a set of 1866 9-10-9 crapola.
