Blah blah blah...this blurb is just here to keep those people's mouth shut who insist on trying to force their stability testing of memory on everyone else. I won't name names, you know who you are cstkl1.

This is a single 32M SPi OC Report. That is it, that is all. Nothing more, nothing less. Single 32M SPi is fast, it is a level of stability that most know, and it shows what these sticks can do with the best benchmark money doesn't have to buy. If you don't like it...get lost. If you want more stability testing, or are going to say "but his CPU is cooled by phase change", or something else that is going to make me want to smack you in the back of the head Rafer Alston style...leave. Do us both a favor and just go whine to the nearest bum on the street because he is going to care as much as I do.

And one last time...these modules were sent to me directly from OCZ as a review sample. Please refer to section one, paragraph four, line three, word thirteen for further details on what you can do should you feel this kit is cherry picked. Disclaimers aside...here are the results:

6-7-6-X 1T:
Intel X58 - EVGA Classified:

892MHz :: 1.657v | 917MHz :: 1.701v | 942MHz :: 1.758v | 967MHz :: 1.802v | 987MHz :: 1.856v

Off to a great start with 6-7-6. I was hoping for 1000MHz once I saw how scaling was going but it just didn't work out. At least all signs point toward 6-7-6 1000MHz being do-able for 32M at 1.90v. Might need a sprinkle more voltage. As it stands, I managed to keep tRAS at 18 the entire test range but did have to open RTL up to get the last 987MHz stable. I don't think it quite needed to be 57-59-61, but that is where I started and just didn't feel like working down from there.


7-7-6-X 1T:
Intel X58 - EVGA Classified:

1022MHz :: 1.657v | 1052MHz :: 1.701v | 1062MHz :: 1.758v

Like 6-7-6, 7-7-6 started off great with perfect scaling through 1.65v to 1.70v, not to mention the very nice jump up from 6-7-6 at the starting voltage. Unfortunately I hit a snag at 1.75v. The memory just stopped scaling at that point and I managed only 10MHz from the 1.70v clock. I played with tRAS, vTT, sub timings, all to no avail. Thinking back, the one thing I did not change - as silly as it sounds - was tRP. I should have opened that up to 7-7-7 to see if it made a difference. This was my last timing set I actually ran and it was the next morning already so forgive my brain fart as I was up all night clocking this memory...literally all night.

The clocking for the OC Report was done within 24 hours of getting the memory...and within 18 hours of actually starting. That is right, 18 hours of straight 32M SPi, I am a loser, deal with it. Eat your heart out Gautam...my sticks aren't even close to dead . This was after getting right drunk at dinner just before I started clocking, that definitely helped. So I aplogize for not trying tRP of 7...sue me. My address can be found on some bathroom stall somewhere, go find it and serve the papers.


7-8-7-X 1T:
Intel X58 - EVGA Classified:

1027MHz :: 1.657v | 1052MHz :: 1.701v | 1077MHz :: 1.758v | 1102MHz :: 1.802v | 1122MHz :: 1.856v

As much as the 7-7-6 was a bit of a letdown :rolleyes:, 7-8-7 definitely wasn't by any stretch of the imagination. This kit just kept taking voltage and jumping 20MHz+ at a time with every 0.05v I fed it. I am completely shocked that this 920 - even on phase - was able to take this memory this high. And just for those about to ask, no, this likely isn't possible or even close to possible with the CPU on air. Don't complain when your kit doesn't do these numbers with your 920 and its ass IMC at 80C. But please prove me wrong if you can...seriously, cough up the screen shots, I really want to know if a CPU on air can clock memory this high. Don't be shy, no one will bite. Well...maybe someone here will but I won't disclose how I know.

Seriously though, another great kit of top binned Elpida Hyper, and from someone other than Corsair. It goes without saying, but I am saying it to keep those without common sense to miss it, these are results from a SINGLE KIT. This may, or may not be a good representation of what every kit will do.
