Asrock Z87 OC Formula initial PSC testing


Recommended Posts

So picked up a retail Z87 OCF and ended up testing the same set of Ripjaw Z 2400 c8's that were voltage limited to 1.96v on Ivy.

 

Initial Dram voltage and Eventual Dram voltage got me around this brick wall and have allowed me to use 2.1v now which has allowed me run this kit higher than before.

The Conformal coating on my board is very uniform throughout and the only vaseline that was added was on to the ram slots, everything else is paper towel and some Frost King, such a breeze to insulate. This is a great idea that should be implemented on multiple components such as vga cards, and ram modules as well, for those of us that love to freeze the ram.

 

Blue Paper towels are just for you Massman:)

Thank you PJ, having a blast benching 32m on this board, though I still need to figure out how to get my BBSE working on this setup.

 

How's the performance scaling with frequency in comparison to Ivy Bridge? I remember even Samsung based sticks starting to cap out on performance around DDR3-2800C9 as more frequency wouldn't really provide better performance.

Well at 5Ghz on Ivy I would say 6:15:9xx would be absolutely killing it and on Haswell I think 5:55:9xx is the fastest time to date, so maybe 21-23 seconds with similar cpu and memory clocks between both architectures.

 

For Samsung I am sure you would need 3000+ c9 for it to be competitive with ultra tight secondaries and tertiaries, but where do such sticks exist, cause I know mine won't do anywhere near that at c9.

Quick air update with some cold AC blowing on the other half of the 2400 c8 kit which is untested on cold.

 

Delivering as promised:)
