Overclocking DDR3 3000MHz +

Good day.

The simple truth says, you need to drive what is being pursued. Successful overclocking except the central processors, system memory lends itself well. But not all yogurts are equally useful, or rather not all microchips are chasing well relative to their nominal frequency.

Today I will talk about the overclocking of DDR3 memory type manufactured by Crucial based on Micron D9KPT chips taken from my good friend for all sorts of bullying))).
Micron-based memory was the most expensive and productive at the time of DDR2 and was used by many manufacturers like: Corsair, G.Skill, OCZ ...

It's no secret that the platform P55 is best suited for overclocking memory in frequency. But at the same time it is very important that the core was an Intel Core i7 860/870 processor, since this series has a 2:12 memory divider, unlike the Intel Core i5 750, where the maximum divider is limited to 2:10. Also, processors of the 800th series have a strong IMC (integrated memory controller).



So, let's begin.
That is directly, there is nothing innocent memory strip, which will now freeze :).

Specifications: CT12864BA1339 • DDR3 PC3-10600 • CL = 9 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1333 • 1.5V • 128Meg x 64
Cost: $ 30-35

Test bench:
- Intel Core i7 860
- GIGABYTE P55A-UD6 (perhaps one of the best for the ordeals today)
- PSU: be quite 1000W Dark Power Pro (for good memory overclocking, the quality of the output voltage is important)
- HDD: WD Raptor 74G
- WinXP SP2 Light
- LN2 POT "Forsage"

For a more successful acceleration, a special cooling system was installed using liquid nitrogen.
Also, in order for us not to run into overclocking on the bus, a nitrogen glass is also placed on the processor.
Unfortunately, during the whole process I didn’t have a camera on hand, so I can show you the pictures of the memory cooling unit later.

When using only air cooling, the maximum that I could squeeze out of memory is approximately 2600 MHz.

Under low temperatures, after about an hour of “disgrace,” I barely managed to squeeze 2980 MHz. Another hour spent time, and everything ... the dream came true, here it is a psychological mark of 3000 MHz. HOORAY!!!
Maximum: 3010MHz

Thanks for attention!
