any ingame results?

cheers

[eva2000]

No gaming results - anyway at the differing cpu speeds, any results would be more related to cpu speed used than memory speed used. I'll leave gaming results to other folks :)

[DHP]

What results do you get using 9-9-9-24?

[eva2000]

Elpida hyper ics won't scale much with looser timings you won't get higher clocks at 9-9-9-24 as opposed to 8-8-8-24 and 7-8-7-20.

Awesome memory this stuff. Just a real shame the memory controllers on the CPU require so much voltage to run it at the rated speeds.

[eva2000]

You mean in terms of cpu vtt (uncore voltage) right ? As 2000Mhz does run rated vdimm 1.65v :)

Yeah, sorry should have mentioned the QPI/VTT voltage. But yes, that is what i meant.

[eva2000]

yeah unfortunately that is also cpu mem controller dependent as to how much cpu vtt is required :)

Very true and you never know what you'll get until you boot it up. At least with the batch numbers you have an idea of what sort of voltages are required for the CPU to overclock. Shame the same can't be said for the memory controller.
