Test of G.Skill Ripjaws-X F3-17000CL8D-4GBXMD

Rams, packaging and accessories:

Test on socket 1155

Intel Core i7 2600K
ASUS Maximus IV Extreme
ASUS GTX 580
OCZ Core v2 30GB
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1200W

http://elmor.se/wp-content/uploads/2...86-186x250.jpg http://elmor.se/wp-content/uploads/2...96-186x250.jpg

Bclk wouldn't go higher than 105MHz so not much point in increasing timings :)

Test on socket 1366

Intel Core i7 990X ES
ASUS Rampage III Extreme
ASUS GTX 580
OCZ Core v2 30GB
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1200W

1032MHz 6-8-6-20-1T 1.8V
http://elmor.se/wp-content/uploads/2...86-477x500.jpg

Bad IMC so rams wouldn't go high enough for increased timings to make sense. Around 1050 6-9-6 didn't seem worth it.

Quick comparison between 1GHz 6-8-6 vs 7-7-7, just about equal:

Nice kit, thanks for the test. Did you have a look under the heatspreader?

And by the way, why didn't you post it in the Xtreme Bandwidth subforum?

Good job Elmor
What is your subtimings trdd,trfc,trl for 1155 socket?

I just ordered this same ram. Will be here on Monday ... Can't wait :up:

great job, and I do have to agree this memory is killer especially given it's price point.

Why do I feel like you had these sticks were under the sink?:shrug:

I doubt my luck would be so good:shakes:

For sure :) A tiny bit more binned and they'd easily outshine the best of hypers (1100 6-8-6 :D).

Nothing that hasn't been shown before though :)

No lookie. If it fits better in bw or reviews mods are free to move it :)

Why would they be? Also 7-10-10 is probably not as good binned as 8-9-8. I requested the 2300 7-10-10 though but weren't available.

My fault elmor I thought you tested the 9-10-9'shttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231434
I see now there are the 8-9-8's you tested http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231450

Great work Jon, I love the Flare kit, seems these are as good, if not better :)

Good luck in Istanbul dude ( watch over Massman for me plz, as always I'm worried he will do something stupid again )

the 8-9-8 2133 is definately better than the 7-10-10 2200, and 7-10-7 2133 (having tested all 3 kits)

great write up elmor, just wish it were sooner so i didnt waste my money going through all these kits.

Nice, what are the other voltages? only increase of the Vram?

very nice indeed! at least for sb that is, because i don't see myself putting my cpu's memcontroller with 1.8v dram for 24/7 :D

Quick update on MSI Big Bang Marshal and cpu under LN2 (~-50). Helped a little but not that much, max bclk at 105.5MHz. Rams still have more to give. 32M is crap but didn't have time to make a better one.

Sorry about that lol, just received them last week :p:

Vccsa and vccio at 1.2v, not sure that much is needed though.

Yeah, these results are not for 24/7.

Hope you don't mind elmor. I think it's safe to say they have plenty of headroom, yet to explore various timing combo's still pushing higher speed.

These are same modules btw, no clue what is up with spd, got my sample early :shrug:

No worries, seems you have a bit more bclk headroom than I do :) Let's see 1150 6-9-6 and some 32M times leaving Hypers in the dust (key is voltage, I used 1.85v for the last result) :D

Will give it a try later, figured i'd cover you for the guys talking about 24/7 stable stuff :)

Excelent memories, one of the best kits for SPI 32M on SB :)

What voltages did you use on Marshal for SA and VCCIO? 1.2v like on M4E?

Will be interesting to see SPD,what this version of CPU-Z 1.57.2 show:

Ah, hadn't checked in here for a few days :D

VCCIO = 1.29 V
VCCSA = 1.26 V
