Wow . You guys can overclock but cannot post screeshots properly. Image and clicks are fine but benchs screenshots needs to be full so that we can see the text clearly.

Anyway since most of you are opting for imgur, here a small rundown on how to post screenshots - thumbnails with link to bigger images .

There are 2 ways to upload -

1. Without any account i.e not using imgur features such as albums.

2. With account and imgur features.

Phase 1 - Without account.

1. You simply drag and select the images that you want to upload and the click start upload.



2. Once you have uploaded the images you will be redirected to the album page where all the images will be listed (uploaded by you).

Click on the image and you will be greeted with the some options and link.s

** Click on the Large Thumbnail or Small Square option only **

After that select the Linked BBCode (message boards) and copy paste in your post.



---------------

Phase 2 - With Imgur account -

1. Simply login and upload the images in you account . If you want to create an album please do.

2. Imgur have some quirky interface thus it will not show BB links if you select the images inside the albums. There is another way around (right click copy image address -> right click copy link ) but we will pass that.

3,. Next up - Once you have finished uploading the albums click on the Images tab on the top right.



4. All the uplaoded images are visible. Select the image.



4. From the combobox/drop down select either Large Thumbnail or Small square and then copy the link from Linked BBCode (message boards) and copy paste in your post.

That should do.

Guys if you posting a preview please do mention. Also please create separate post for your preview and contest submission, makes easy for us to differentiate.

Also do not forget to include CPU ID validation link.

P.s - Contest date has been extended till next Monday i.e. 3 December.
 
PREVIEW

Some pics of the kit

STABILITY TESTING:

Tried to keep CPU and CPU-NB as close to stock as possible

Applications used:

1. HyperPi 0.99b
2. Aida64

1600 8-9-8 25 1T @ 1.65v

1866 9-10-9 28 1T @ 1.65v

2000 10-11-10 30 1T @ 1.675v

2133 10-11-10 30 1T @ 1.693v

I'm already past the border for PhenomII IMC stability at this point.
Got it up a few more Mhz and that was it for stability. Applied my 24x7 CPU clocks,pushed CPU-NB a bit and tried a few games and it was stable as a rock.

Here is the AIDA64 from the final stable overclock.

Final Thoughts:

The kit looks simple but hides an awesome set of overclocking chips underneath. Overclocking the kit is very easy and doesn't require much increase in voltage.
Loved the fact that it was able to get to 2133mhz stable with 1T Command Rate on a Phenom II IMC.

The lack of tight timing does make it hard to recommend it for benchmarking, but this will make an excellent kit for gaming on any DDR3 platform.
 
^ Lucky you. I'm not even able to cross 2000Mhz or tighten timings below CL11 :|

Been struggling for the past few hours and this is the best I've got for now-


Any suggestions guys? Its bad enough that I'm limited by my CPU multiplier but I'd like my ram freq to be in the 2k club atleast lol. Will try again tonight and post my review then.
 
Two suggestions

1. Update to latest BIOS
2. Bump the NB-voltage. That might help with the stability. (Keep a fan to cool the VRMs)

Will try that out tonight. Also apparently this problem is much larger than that, this kit just doesn't seem to allow me to cross 250 on my FSB. I've tried all the memory multiples, extremely loose timing, higher memory voltages but I can't boot with even 1Mhz over 250. What I'm trying to do is cross 3.5Ghz but the kit isn't letting me.
 
Dont bother with the CPU overclocking right now. Keep CPU close to or lower than Stock to rule out instability because of it.

I said to update bios because your CPUz seems to be reading the 1055T as 1050T. So I'm assuming it maybe an old BIOS.
 
Just a reminder guys- Ohh and do not forget that you can post multiple entries. The best of the lot will be considered.

Just updated my BIOS and tried to raise NB voltages but still no luck. No matter which memory multiplier I set the ram at, I can't cross 250 FSB.

250*14= 3500Ghz - Boots perfectly to Windows and passes stability tests.
-
250* 6.66 = 1650Mhz - Works
250* 8 = 2000Mhz - Works

252*14= 3528Ghz - Doesn't even post.
-
252* 6.66 = 1663Mhz - "
252* 8 = 2016Mhz - "

For comparison sakes the XMS3s went up 1800Mhz and accepted my FSB settings upto 270Mhz without touching voltages. Anymore suggestions guys?
 
im not familiar with AMD systems, but i would look at increasing the VCCSA/VCCIO/VTT voltage one notch. also its safe to run these sticks at 1.7v

I'll have to double check those settings next time I visit the bios. Tried running these sticks all the way upto 1.75v, no luck.
 
We're very happy to see the positive feedback about the kits, you guys. Be sure to post your overclocking screenshots and validation links by this weekend!

This ram is very good. i could get upto 2133-10-11-11-26 @1t , 1.65v.
thats quite an upgrade from the stock 1600cl9 it is. On a side note, i wanted to know if these have the samsung IC's on them.
 
Btw, am not adding a preview as I was using 2400 ram and it would not make any sense to compare the two kits.
