List of Chips used on DDR3 RAM Modules

What's the code of BSOD?
bump up vdimm a lil bit or set BCLK to 100MHz

ECO is not for SB one.
I always bought RAM based on higher bin/speed rather than tighter timings.

Btw i saw what u have there keke

Currently there are a few ICs that are great at OC.

1) Samsung HCH9 & HYKO
2) Hynix BFR & CFR
3) PSC
4) Elpida BBSE

The rests are bad or just okay.

Best if you can show us your PC specs in more details because different platform has different voltage terms, OC capability due Integrated Mem Controller aka IMC strength, as well as limitation of CPU/chipset. A Sandy Bridge processor is limited up to 2300MHz only, Ivy Bridge can hit 3000MHz+ highly depends on how strong is your chip's IMC and RAM ICs.

Basically, mem overclocking either frequency increment or timing tightening requires a bump on vdimm (RAM voltage), VTT aka VCCIO, IMC aka VCCSA. When you are increasing the frequency say 1333 to 1600, you might have to relax the timing ie 9-11-9 to 11-11-11 etc to compensate for lower vdimm and related volts. That is for primary timings, playing with secondary and tertiary timings requires a more advanced OC skill and patience.

I'm not sure with value modules but all the performance kits can OC very well on Ivy Bridge.
My experience with PSC kits.

G.Skill Pi 2200C7 2X2GB:


G.Skill RipjawsX 2200C7 2X2GB:

PSC stands for Powerchip Semiconductor Corporation, a RAM IC maker.
The Ivy will boot at either 1333 or 1600 at default, according to the highest SPD profile of the module and you would need to set it manually to 2200 in BIOS or rely on XMP profile.

Looks like Samsung Green is discontinued everywhere already. Newegg, eBay, amazon, BHPhoto are no longer selling this kit.

Wrong thread dude. But it looks normal for undelidded Ivy, as long as it is under TJmax of 105C than you should be fine.

KVR 1333 C9 2 X 2GB 1.5v, it's a highly binned PSC X kit so please don't go buy bluntly this KVR you won't find this so easily.



2400 7-11-8-28-1T @ 1.685v


2500 8-12-8-28-1T @ 1.83v

Trident are mix of Elpida BBSE and PSC.
Elpida on TridentX is kinda impossible since they filed a bankruptcy in early 2012. TridentX is consisted of Samsung and Hynix. The slowest TridentX 2133C9 is also a Samsung. 2400 looks quite impossible for Elpida @ 1.65v. The last Elpida BBSE was RipjawsX series specifically the 2133C8 kit in 2011.

Congrats. Most HYK0 1205 can do 2700+ @ 1.7v+. But what about yours?

1.65V
Not sure if my old 4770K is able to take it.
