hyperx 2gb set made my 165 faster

[Swampdonkey]

Just got my 2 gig set of HyperX from ZipZoomFly for $177. I know it's not high frequency stuff but the timing spec'd for kingston are relatively tight. 2-3-2-6 at 2.65v. So that and the cheap price, I had to bite. The corsair xms 4400 black (non-pro) 1 gig set was NOT living up to my expectations, so I ebayed it out to help defer the cost. The order for the cas2 hyperx was very smooth and was able to upgrade to FedEx 2 day for $2. Installation went OK, but had to move two huge capacitors slightly to the side to get the heatspread equipped stick in dimm1. Between the Installing the HyperX and using some of the the settings in OCZTony's guide for the DFI CFX3200, I went from 294x9=2646MHZ with 3x LDT to 312x9=2808MHZ with 4x LDT on complete stock voltage of 1.32 volts and stock cooling!!!!! The ram is running a 133 divider (200.9mhz) at 2-3-2-6 2.67volts and that's good enough for me since I think RAM frequency is highly overrated compared to just regular ram that has decent tight timings.

 

I just wanted to thank all you guys like (Thunda, HG/AG, Rgone, Tony, Etc.) that contribute to helping all of us noobs out. If you got any suggestions for me to get a little more out of this board, then go for it.

I'll try to add some screenshot in a few minutes.

I know this isn't an OCDB entry, but it's dual prime stable 5hrs 39mins. and 3d stable. It would had a rounding error 5mins into dual prime 314x9 4x ldt and I haven't had time to play with it any. Please bear in mind that this completely stock voltage on the opty 165.

congrats on the clocks, I had a similar experience switching from gskill 2x512mb to crucial ballistix 2x1gb. got over 500mhz plus.
