Revisiting OCZ PC3500 Plat LE BH-5 @250mhz 2226 [pics]

[eva2000]

Dam i decided to see what cooling memory will do for ocs and man I'm surprised by 1GB OCZ PC3500 Plat LE BH-5 on AI7 at 3.18v

--------
no cooling

max prime stable = 240mhz 2-2-2-6 667fsb strap A-A-A-D-D
max benchable = 242mhz 2-2-2-6 667fsb strap A-A-4-D-D

--------
with cooling
strapped 60x38mm delta 50-60cfm fan on the top mid section of the ram modules with TT fan speed control set to high

placed the Delta 60x38mm 50-60cfm fan onto of the 2 ram sticks in the middle. Taped a piece of cardboard on one side of the fan so it flushed against the side of ram stick in dimm slot #3 and taped the cardboard to the ram stick using masking tape. Then taped other side of the fan to the Corsair Hydrocool's waterblock retention spring on my the P4 bracket.

Note: cpuz on AI7 reports wrong cpu/ram ratio when NB Strap 667fsb is used and swaps 1:1 and 5:4 around.

So guys cool ya ram!

They can do better than that :). You just need mroe vdimm. I say they can do 2-2-2-X DDR600 at 3.6-ish
