OCZ Platinum DDR3-1333 OCZ3P1333LVA6GK Animal Series @2000-2170Mhz!
 

First memory results on this forum :D


OCZ Platinum DDR3-1333Mhz 7-7-7-24 (OCZ3P1333LVA6GK 'Animal Series') memory modules are Micron DDR3-1866-2000Mhz CAS9 binned ICs sprinkled into the regular OCZ Platinum DDR3-1333Mhz series and are differentiated by the 'A' in the product code.

• OCZ3P1333LVA6GK = Animal Series with Micron DDR3-1866-2000Mhz CAS9 binned ICs
• OCZ3P1333LV6GK = Regular OCZ Platinum DDR3-1333Mhz.

Let's see how these modules do on Asus P6T6 WS Revolution.

System:

• i7 920 C0 3836A756 #2
• EK Supreme LT 1366 / FESER 480 / MCP655
• Asus P6T6 WS Revolution
• OCZ Platinum DDR3-1333Mhz 7-7-7-24 (OCZ3P1333LVA6GK 'Animal Series')
• 512MB Inno3D 8800GT OC Edition @742/1836/2000
• 750GB Samsung SATA
• Pioneer DVR-217 DVD-RW
• Corsair HX1000 PSU
• WinXP Pro SP3 (nLite fully updated) with Vista Theme

Back to Back CAS# Delay was left on AUTO which defaults to value of 0. The default Command Rate (DRAM Timing Mode) when set to AUTO seems to change to 2T at high memory frequency CAS9 memory clocks. So I decided to run DDR3-2000Mhz 9-9-9-24 2T first and then manually set to 1T DRAM Timing Mode for a 2nd set of benchmarks as follows:

• DDR3-2000Mhz 9-9-9-24 2T at 1.66v vdimm, 1.50v QPI/DRAM (CPU VTT uncore voltage)
• DDR3-2000Mhz 9-9-9-24 1T at 1.66v vdimm, 1.50-1.51875v QPI/DRAM (CPU VTT uncore voltage)

Super Pi 1M, 32M, Everest Ultimate bandwidth tests for 2T managed with QPI/DRAM of 1.50v only 1T config's Hyper Pi 8x16M Pi test required bumping QPI/DRAM from 1.50v to 1.51875v

Continue testing of 6GB OCZ Platinum DDR3-1333Mhz 7-7-7-24 (OCZ3P1333LVA6GK 'Animal Series') kit but with voltage bumps for single Super Pi 32M stability.

For DDR3-2058Mhz 9-9-9-24 1T I tested different Back to Back CAS# Delay values, AUTO (0) vs 6 vs 10. B2B value of 8 for some reason resulted in memtest86+ v2.11 test #2 errors while the other values of AUTO (0), 6 and 10 didn't have such errors. 32M Pi difference between B2B AUTO (0) and 10 was only 3.063 seconds slower at 10 but a 17.6% and 9.96% drop in Everest Read and COPY bandwidth respectively. For DDR3-2108Mhz 9-9-9-24 1T at 1.74v I only tested B2B value of AUTO (0).

Everest Ultimate - B2B AUTO(0) vs 6 vs 10
17.6% and 9.96% drop in Everest Read and COPY bandwidth respectively.

Max CPUZ Validation was done with same settings as for above DDR3-2108Mhz benchmarks. Yes that's right 4343Mhz validation at 1.408v vcore HT Enabled not bad for old C0 stepping :)

Sweet landing at OCA Eva :good:

The ideal rams for 24/7 and for light(?) o/c:)

thanks Kalae :)

Define light :D Yeah ram is easy to work with :)

I mean that 2100Mhz with CL7 is (easy?) doable with some kits made for extreme o/c, but this kit isn't for extreme o/c, but it can do 2000Mhz+......SO it's for light(not extreme o/c, hard benching)o/c:)
BTW did you try to feed this kit with more voltage?

are you mean looser timings as light hehe

haven't tried higher vdimm yet that's next up for round two :D

So I'm waiting for round 2 :D

Super review eva :D Were these sent to you by OCZ or did you snag them up when it was posted these IC's made it in these kits?
