6GB OCZ Platinum DDR3-1333 (OCZ3P1333LVA6GK)
'Animal Series'
This is the first time using this 6GB OCZ Platinum DDR3-1333 (OCZ3P1333LV
A6GK) triple channel kit, so it's performance is an unknown for me. This kit is specially denoted with the 'A' in the product code to differentiate itself from regular OCZ Platinum DDR3-1333Mhz triple channel kit. Known as OCZ Animal series, OCZ decided to sprinkle some new Micron DDR3-2000Mhz CAS9 binned ICs and drop them in OCZ Platinum and Gold series products at the lower rated kit prices for us overclockers
As always, whenever I start testing a new system - motherboard and memory pairing, the first thing I do is focus solely on how the memory behaves - what it can and can't do. I'll start with it's rated timings 7-7-7-24 at 1.65v and work my way up. So bookmark this page and check back for updates
Super Pi 32M
First objective, single Super Pi 32M stable at rated timings with vdimm 1.68v bios set - SG fluctuates between 1.64v and 1.66v.

Had to swap out my Silverstone OP1200 power supply as there's a plastic like burning smell coming from near the PSU switch area - so it's off to get RMA'd. Installed my Corsair HX1000 to continue the memory tests for single Super Pi 32M to get a feel of how these OCZ Platinum 1333 Animal memory behave
more tests soon..
