I would stay with hypers if you are gettin that board dogg :)

sorry about the WS guys, Im not in love with the deluxe either with the mulit limiting. Do you think they limit the boards so you will buy their top of the line maximus to overclock?

i have the cheapest board.... but i can do 5.4ghz on it. i think its more of cpu binning

I bet you if you sent me that chip, it would not boot x52 on this deluxe. shall we try ;)

BOIS/settings ............ :blush:

In the Sanctum :keeporder:

I think they'd be foolish if they didn't :P

+1 on CPU binning

Asus Pro Micro here and 5.5ghz boot. Thinking I have 5.6ghz in it but limited to heat I thinks. Going to the garage with it tomorrow. No need for expensive mobo or at least not yet.

The ones I recently purchased would be best used for XP based benching:

No clue what IC's would be in these but so far they've done well enough even though my MSI 790FX-GD70 board doesn't seem capable of maxing them out - At least the RAM isn't holding me back and these were cheap enough.

those are elpidas...bdbg's ..which are similar to psc..subtimings..

Thanks for that info.

I'm hoping these sticks aren't affected with the same issues as earlier sticks based on elpida chips. Right now they seem good and run cool, even with a small to moderate overvolt applied to them.
I don't plan on really socking the V's to them, rather I'll work with them and see how they behave with voltages used and keep an eye on how hot they get. Since the board doesn't seem to be fully capable of supporting the speeds these are spec'ed for anyway, no sense in volting them up as you'd normally do. I'd have to say since these are rated for 1.65v's at stock settings, I'd guess about 1.75v's max with this setup or maybe a little more if running really tight timings - Maybe.

ny_driver i think is getting 1800 @ 8-8-8 with em kingstons ..he'll be playing tomorrow with it.

ny_driver is playing with 3x1gb rams...from kingstons i think they're 2333 or 2250s....

those are strong rams...

i did ddr3 3000mhz with them...with the lynfield.....but that was with the worst subtimings...

the elpida hyper mnhs' were the bad ones....actually even elpida hyper mgh doesn't last long...

the elipida bdbg's are actually ok...don't worry about them dying...lol
