[TPU] ASUS Maximus V Gene Helps Crack DDR3-3256 Dual-Channel 16 GB Memory

[GhaniKhan]

An anonymous overclocker cracked a staggering DRAM speed (for dual-channel), using Intel Core i7-3770K processor (engineering sample) and ASUS Maximus V Gene motherboard, at DDR3-3256 MHz. The overclocker started off at DDR3-3153 (~1576 MHz actual) on boot, and carefully notched it up to DDR3-3256 (1628 MHz actual) in Windows. 16 GB of memory of an unknown make, was used.

What makes the feat impressive is that such DRAM clock speeds are difficult for dual-channel/multiple-module setups, and reserved only for single-module feats. Ahead of the launch of the 3rd Generation Core "Ivy Bridge" platform, every motherboard vendor is covertly showing off similar overclocking feats.

now thats insane ocing...look at the timings ...

[The Avenger]

yep insane is correct i guess ----

awesome! would love to see some reviews done on their new DDR3 T-Topology Design.

look at the CPU it's showing 77W.. contradicting rumors?

No its correct.

[Bonhomie]

No its correct.

then fk that ... all my wait went into drain.

How does that make sense?
I meant that the 77W TDP is correct.

right, though if chip still runs hot, overclocks not well let alone being as good as SB; the purpose of getting it? moot I believe.

It performs much better to SB on the same clock's man. And it doesn't exactly overheat at stock clocks, only when OC'ed and that also till a certain extent.

and that certain extent is only 4.6GHz? anyways lets see when the retail comes out hopping for something good.
