Sandy Bridge's Native Memory Speed?

[cdawall]

technically, yes. People will tell you 4x 2gb sticks @ 2133 is hard too, but you know, what, I don't listen :

good job bro just pushed a little extra vtt? i know my poor little i3 can't pull that off it has enough trouble with 2 sticks at 2000+

Buy real parts?




You all amy knock me for my high-end kit, but guess what..it performs, doesn't it?

its just a HTPC lol this is way overkill for it not to mention an i7 is pushing it on the mini ITX mobo doesn't like 4ghz on quads from what i understand

wasn't insulting your rig at all? i can pull of 2200+ with my stick at 7-8-7 1.6v so they are good for me.

core i3 560 had no issues using the XMP profile for 2000mhz just one click and it was good to go same should go for your p8p67 good luck getting one after the B2 fiasco

Lol, thanks, but I'm not looking at getting one right now. Actually, I'm waiting to see what happens with Bulldozer at CeBIT.

For the most part, I'm interested in what it really means for the memory to be native and also which memory is actually native.

These questions are being answered as we progress.

From what I can tell, it would seem that the motherboard manufacturers and Intel are out of sync because, as Cadaveca stated in question form, "The question [remains], how do they certify that 1600mhz speed, without a cpu that supports it?".

It's ASUS too, though.

ASUS exclusively provides hyper DIMM support function.
2. Hyper DIMM support is subject to the physical characteristics of individual CPUs.
3. According to Intel spec definition, DDR3-1600 is supported for one DIMM per channel only. ASUS exclusively provides two DDR3-1600 DIMM support for each memory channel.
4. According to Intel CPU spec, CPUs with a core frequency of 2.66G support the maximum DIMM frequency of up to DDR3-1333. To use DIMMs of a higher frequency with a 2.66G CPU, enable the DRAM O.C. Profile feature in
BIOS. Refer to section 3.5 Ai Overclock Tuner in user manual for details.

As to your ram, I fail to see how it's relevant? If you want to epeen waggle, I tell ya what, I gave away better.

test multiple kits with multiple boards and multiple cpu's

Yes, but officially a processor like the i7 2600k lists as being DDR3 1333mhz native, not 1600mhz, that's why he asked...I think.

You two talking about your rigs and what have you is forcing me to filter.

The point about my rig, actually, is that although Intel only spec's 1333, thier cpus are capable of way greater, and in certain instances, 200% of stock is possible. But even ASUS, for example, who makes my board, says what I am running isn't possible even though my stuff says differently......


In end, when you overclock, you give up longevity for speed. Intel basically says that thier cpus will run the given speeds pretty much long past the warranty period. If not, they will replace it.

Boards say they will run more, due to design, but that does not guarantee that the parts you buy will just work, not matter what...there are countless threads of people having compatibility issues. Personally, I make sure to buy stuff proven to work well together, as any system builder should.

sorry

multiple companies will say that their board can run a higher mem. to do so they clock the cpu bus speed up and drop the multi down some kind of like the auto overclocking options on alot of boards.

 

[cadaveca]

do you have an issue?

No, point remains, they are underspec'd in order to guarantee longevity. It's the nature of semi-conductors.

Well, thanks for the input everyone.

I'll probably revisit this thread tomorrow, but right now I'm going to bed.

cdawall and cadaveca, I don't know where you guys live, but you should probably do the same; it's getting warmer in here each post.

Goodnight, everyone.

I mean Goodmorning...hey, that doesn't look right...good morning...yeah...why do we make goodnight one word? Or don't we? Don't answer that, just go to bed.

heh, I don't think any of us are taking this too seriously. Just a bit of friendly banter.
