G.Skill Trident triple channel kit - DDR3 @ 2000 MHz in test

[Pt1t]

there is a safety on it so you can't open it...but 7-8-7-20 + low voltage, it means elpida for me. probably not hyper, but for sure it's elpida

yes Gskill said me , Exxxx but not hyper. PS are easy to open , just force fan and heatspreader felt :p http://www.matbe.com/images/biblio/a...0000086693.jpg

But Trident are very hard to open

[Trembledust]

Well looks like I cant run them stable on my board @ the stock 2000mhz. : ( I liked these sticks too. Ah well.

I got this kit today. At least mine's not elpida.


(Unless elpida recently changed its chip package)



this is what elpida chips looks like from the side: it has slanted side.



this is g.skill trident from the side - idk if it's samsung, micron, or something else- but for sure it's not elpida.



also in this picture this chip has only 3 rows of lead balls in one side... Maybe it's new 50nm node chip from hynix, but I basically have no idea what these chips are.

(Tried to open the heatspreader as you can see in the picture.... and broke my nail )

[A2C]

you know how chips have memories only from this pictures?
i´m fascinated abuoth this :-)
I try today create photo from my Kingston HyperX

Quick run Gskill Trident on EX58-UD5
2000Mhz 8 9 8 24 1.66v; QPI/VTT: 1.44v set in Bios.
Hyper PI 8*32MB:

Anyone mamaged to open Heatspreaders yet?

[GSKILL TECH]

be very careful when you try to open the TS heatspreader.

[Benji Tshi]

Yes, it's quite hard because there is 2 stickers on the 2 screws...be careful guys
But it's elpida's chips. Just use it and you'll be convinced.

BTW, i have just finished a 1075Mhz 32M with it....

[spitfire939]

ok. just LOOK at those chips. it's NOT elpida.

you know this can't be elpida hyper at this price. All other elpida chips suck and they cannot even reach 1866Mhz. What now? It just can't be elpida, which is a good news unless it's hyper.

[ZillaPct]

possible is elpida product

Again, believe what you want, but before talking, look for some true informations. Atm, there is 4 different elpida's chips, including Hypers, excluding the old chips. And it doesn't sucks so much.




Now, i got a 947Mhz 7-8-7-20 1.65v Hyper Pi 32M x8

[PatRaceTin]

my D9JNM need 1.8V++ to reach DDR2000 CL8-8-8-21

[Gligy]

Some quick tests on DFI t3eh8.
Gskill Trident @ 2100Mhz 8 9 8 21:


1900Mhz 7 8 7 21:


Still learning the ways of DFI

[Benji Tshi]

tRFC 88
But the results are good

I'm using tRFC 72 for all my tests.

[canna1988]

Hello guys excuse me for the long time but in this period i am very busy

anyway below other 3 quick test-

1,71V.... 2000 CAS 7 power


1,73 2100 cas7!!!!! fantastic!!!!


and the last test of today.... 1,69V... 2100 cas 8... not bad for 160$


soon other test

[Benji Tshi]

Here is some action with stock timings and voltages...Full air of course.



Not so bad for a 150€ kit

[canna1988]

nice run benji!!!

yes this memory are fantastic because is cheaper respect other model but in overclock are same or better

[Benji Tshi]

for sure it's not good as Hypers, but i believe for standard overclocker (watercooling for example) it's wonderful.
the best voltage for me is beetwin 1.55 and 1.65. What's about yours canna ?

[ReverendMaynard]

are these the exact same IC's as the the Pi Black 2000's?

[Benji Tshi]

I don't think so. Last time i try PB 2000, it was HCF0. I don't know if ICs have changed, but it's not HCF0 on Trident.

[mk_dir]

Benji Tshi wich VTT voltage used on that run?

Thx.

[Benji Tshi]

1.58v...juste give me a few hours and i'll post a better run with all voltages

[ReverendMaynard]

I don't think so. Last time i try PB 2000, it was HCF0. I don't know if ICs have changed, but it's not HCF0 on Trident.

They seem to react remarkably similar. Thanks for the info

[Benji Tshi]

They seem to react remarkably similar. Thanks for the info

So maybe GSkill changed PB's chips by Trident's chips

[mk_dir]

Here is my quick run too...



Voltages:

VTT 1.45V
Vcore 1.35V
VDIMM 1.66V

2Ghz @ CL8 seems to be easy for the Trident....
