DDR400 OCZ platinum Revison 2

As I hold these battered sticks of ram in my hands, I can't help but weep, as what has been lost in their once resplendent luster is surely the personification of the final turmoil one faces before death.
I place them into the transparent crib from which they came that is now their coffin, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. RIP, I will never forget.

RIP: OCZ4001024ELDCPER2-K ver. 0 [TCCD]
Price: Original ($215 + Shipping)
Value to me: Priceless

Peak Performance:
DDR620 w/2.5-4-4-8
DDR600 w/2.5-4-3-7


Rung up RMA, they don't have any more TCCDs, don't even mention TCC5s (inferior creatures they were). Mine were Version 0.0 which were TCCDs. The support guy said he has to replace them with OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K, which have terrible overclocking reputation. One might think I'm getting a better deal with the extra GB they're giving me, but what's one GB compared to DDR600, the memory Holy grail of it's time.

🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁
 
I kind of had the opposite experience. Burned up a set of Corsair TWINX2048-3200C2PT that would only do 220mhz, 2.5,3,3,6, 1T Infineon ICs) RMA replaced with Rev (4.1?). It will do 200mhz, 2,2,2,5, 1T. I'm happy.

But my Team Group TXDR512M600H C25 (TCCD) at 300mhz, 3,4,3,6, 1T still scores better in Vista/Windows 7 and will run at DDR625 all day and even boot up at DDR665!

I'm pretty sure they can all boot up at DDR650 Plus given 3 CAS. The sweet spot was 600 imo. I wonder where I could get TCCDs nowadays.

1GB sticks @DDR400/2-2-2? Wow. Is it stable? What's the CPU?
 

So much for OCZ's golden "Lifetime Warranty". :roll:

Take what you can get from them and then... Never Forget

???

Almost all 1gb stix do at least 2327 , and that was moderately priced bins. so his higher priced 1gb stix at 2225 is expected. I would do almost anything for a pair of dose. "almost anything, nothing too homo"

I haven't seen a pair of 1GB DDR sticks that are STABLE @200MHz/2-2-2. 2-3-2, sure, but not 2-2-2. There was a Kingston 1GB sticks advertised to do 2-2-2 but the real world report wasn't what's expected. Those Infineon ICs do 2-3-2 up to around 220MHz, then 2.5-3-2 up to 250MHz. Some did ~270MHz with CAS 2.5 but those were 'extreme' cases. And of course memory controller on the CPU matters for A64.

I was talking about 1GB sticks, not 512MB TCCDs although the original subject was TCCD. Sure TCCDs do 2-2-2 easily and can do CAS 2.5 past 300MHz.

haha dude, you were missing out. There WERE infact DDR600 happening on 2GB sticks with 2.5-3 CAS.
 
Validation

I really haven't messed with them much. Plopped them is and set just the 4 timings.
Seem to work fine.
I'll run off some OCCT/Orthos and see.

As soon a i can find the heat spreaders(???) I'll ask the Ram Guy about ICs. They weren't listed when I last looked.

Yes, there was 2x1024 DDR600, but not any sold as that that I am aware of.


Edit: Yeah, prime stable for an hour.

I don't think they'd sell it as DDR600 cuz that'd be pretty hard to guarentee, and everyone would feel terrible and sue if they didn't hit it. Xtreme edition ram, they'd have to charge as much as 5-6xx for them. Way too much.

Ooooo, I see you have an FX-57. I remember back when the FX55 went up for 155dollars, I almost snagged one. Sadly I'm destined to run 2.9ghz on my opteron-144 forever.
 
Billb2: That is indeed amazing. I assume you're running them 1T but even if it's 2T it's still nothing short of fantastic. Back in the day it was one of my dreams to have 1GB sticks running 200MHz/2-2-2-1T! Gosh I get nostalgic. lol. Let me know if you decide to part out your system in the future. :laugh:

FX-57 300x10 + 2GB DDR600 @ 2225 is museum worth, not in terms of rarity, but GOLDEN standard at least.

I don't think anyone would let a system like that go. I would've never given up my DDR600 if they didn't DIE.

Hey, looking to part with that Opteron 165?
 
No, it's an FX-57, 300 x 10 with either:

Corsair - 2 x 1 gig 2,2,2,5, 1T @ 215mhz
or
Team Extreem - 2 x 512 3.4.3.6, 1T @ 635mhz.

And the Team memory at 635 benches much better.

The Team memory was a find. Back in the day, Team was binning ICs and then binning the modules too. I was just in the right place at the right time. It was sold as DDR600 and was a real struggle to get to DDR665 for SuperPi runs. But like I said, I've never seen 2 x 1 gig DDR600 for sale.

As for the Corsair DDR400, I assume that's what you get if you buy it today. I got them from an RMA last month.

I've had the FX-57 up to 3150 (on water) and I still have 2 FX-55s, both a Newcastle and a San Diego.
 
Hey, it's a so-called "keeper". It has more value to me than just whatever it costs in the market. 😛 This Opteron - DFI combo will live with me for a long time.

BTW, it isn't so bad that OCZ gave you non-TCCD sticks. The sticks you're getting are very similar to mine and they run like a champ. (and very cool, it doesn't like voltages)

Trust me they don't run well at all. And they don't boot in many nf4 dfi boards, which i'm using.

Ah there's my old motherboard 🙂

It now sits doing nothing 99% of the time until i fire it up to back up files every few months.

I used Mushkin: http://www.mushkin.com/doc/pro...mory_detail.asp?id=193
For the latter part of my AMD clocking days anyway.
First kit clocked terribly, but when one DIMM died & i RMAed, i got back a far better clocking kit...don't have much for screenies of the OCs though sadly.
Good memories though.

The FX series are notoriously bad at overclocking, while the Opterons are fantastic.
