[OCTH] G.Skill F3-12800CL8T-6GBPI-B

Hey guys, I did a short test of my new G.Skill F3-12800CL8T-6GBPI-B kit. Don't care about Pi times. Test was about to stability.

Test environment:

DFI LanParty UT X58-T3eH8
Intel Core i7 965XE
Thermalright TRUE Copper
G.Skill F3-12800CL8T-6GBPI-B
Zotac GeForce 8400 GS
CSX SLC 30GB SSD
Silverstone Decathlon 1200W
Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 64 bit
HyperPi 0.98b

ddr3-1850 8-9-8-21-1T @ ~1.66v

And at last some photos about the kit:

We all know there will be better Tri-Channel kits on the market but till that time this kit is not that bad :)

Thanks for the mini-review jugeen:up:. Nice numbers.
Im waiting for this memory kit to mount my 920 in the DFI.

Did you try 900 with the stock timings?

Nice kit, bro~ :up:
I will post my kit at tomorrow~ :D

Looks good Gabor, is the PCB as thin as it looks? A bit shocking to me...
And thanks ffor your greetings, had a short but nice night (Went to Dina & Bala's class reunion)

thx for posting my friend, glad to see you got the dfi and your kit :)

it looks promising, they are for sure HCF0s huh

keep pushing it

nice results! what are the max cas 9 clocks?

32M PI passed DDR3 2000 8-8-7-20 1T with 1.75v~ :D
Sub timming all auto and Vista 64Bit~

But R2E is so crappy at high mem clock, yet~ :(

Nice sticks :up:

max valid 1095.8 MHz @ 9-9-8-21

... and a little more :)

Nice :clap:

ddr3-2050 9-9-8-21-1T @ ~1.71v

http://www.octeamhungary.hu/wp-conte...0bp_2050c9.png

Damn this is some nice ram! Not too expensive either..

This stuff right?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231238

Show me moar!! :D

Actually you guys should check the OCZ DDR3 Platinum 1333Mhz @ 7-7-7.
I own the 3GB model and at 7-7-7-18 1T, 1.64v I was able to run them at 1650Mhz.
Going up to 8-8-8-18 1T, 1.64v I was able to run them on 1850Mhz, I stopped there as it seems my mem controller (uncore) doesn't like high speed ram :(
I think this babies can run at 2000Mhz 9-9-9 or even less at stock voltages.

With some voltage increase they can probably do the 2000Mhz@7-8-7 magic numbers :D

http://cfile207.uf.daum.net/original...496B4B8D8740C4

PI Black PC3 12800 is very good mem among HCF0~ :up:

My kit sucks. I flashed my dfi with 01/06 beta and im trying to load windows at 1800 8-8-8-21 1,65v with 150x12, with vtt at 1,5v, an nothing. Bad luck :(

EDIT-Playing with ram slots 1800 FTW,

Very nice sticks, I am about to get this kit for a review this week.
One question though: do they stop scale up with voltage at about 1.8v or you guys are too shy ?
Can someone try 2.0v ?

Thanks !

Jugeen, what settings are you using to boot at 2000 cl9 1,66v?

A nice set of ram I must say.
2100 Mhz @ 9-9-9-24 1.8v seems to be the limit for benches like Super Pi/PiFast.

Not too bad:

i didn't use different settings for boot. settings you can see above were my boot settings.

I tested my kit with 1,35-1,5 vtt, 166x20 and dram x12, with 200x16 and dram 10x, and nothing, i can load windows at 1900 9-9-9-24 but not at 2000 9-9-9-24 1,66v.
Not bad, but i expected more from them.

try 1.55vtt

great clocking on the g.skill sticks.. i got the 2000mhz( 9-9-9-24) 3gb kit my self. too bad i cant test em just yet i have to wait for a replacement board from germany :(

yep, very mysterious since there was no physical damage to the board it just refuses to power up. :confused:

Were they stable??

Cumps,
FuRy

I did some quick tests to see how my (same model as the OP) G.Skills would clock in my i7 system. At first I tried 1.4x QPI/VTT and I couldn't even get back into the BIOS. I raised QPI/VTT to 1.5xx and I was able to get Windows to try to boot at 2000mem/4000uncore but got an instant lockup. I didn't have a lot of time so I gave up and backed off to 180fsb for 1800mhz to keep the stress off the system and it worked great. I hit 22xxx MB/s mem copy in Everest. :D

Edit: Sorry I was rushed. My point was that I think my CPU is limiting me from doing DDR3-2000 not the memory. This is great stuff.

Hey fellas,

I´m playing atm with this sweet Memory too..

This Samusng HFC-0 Chips are very nice and after this session here on the Gigabyte UD3R I will test them next on the DFI DK X58.

Do they get too hot with 1.79v?

Cumps,
FuRy

No they don´t get hot - they´re really cool :cool:

First test on DFI DK X58

But can´t get them as stable as on UD3R...

Anybody know the difference between this kit and the F3-12800CL8T-6GBPI kit which has exactly the same specs but are $100 cheaper???
These are the blue ones and not the black....is the only difference the color??

At NCIX they have these two:
This one:
G.SKILL F3-12800CL8T-6GBPI PC3-12800 6GB 3X2GB DDR3-1600 CL8-8-8-21 240PIN Triple Channel Memory Kit (F3-12800CL8T-6GBPI) (36168) $219

and

G.SKILL F3-12800CL8T-6GBPI-B Pi Black 6GB DDR3 3X2GB DDR3-1600 CL 8-8-8-21 Triple Channel Memory Kit $374

Specs are the same on the G.Skill web site.

Thanks

DDR3 2000 9-9-8-20 1T Sub timming some tight.. :D

short question... which MB would you choose for these G.Skill F3-12800CL8T-6GBPI-B Kit & i920 ???

1. DFI X58-T3eH8
2. Gigabyte GA-X58-EXTREME
3. Asus P6T Deluxe or Rampage Extr. II

I heared that DFI tolerate lower QPI than others...

Id like to find your opinions

Thanx

DFI X58-T3eH8

I just got off the phone with G.Skill Tech Support USA and posed the same question to them. I was told that both kits are the same, but they cannot guarantee that the blue kits have the Samsung IC's. To which I replied "then they aren't the same".

He started in on timing specs. voltage specs. being the same etc.

So in short, they are the same, but may not be the same, or to put it plainly i'm not sure anyone will know until someone picks up a kit of the blues and peels that heatspreader off them :)

I don't even need DDR3 ram yet, but NewEgg has them for $109 plus free shipping. At that price I think they are worth buying and putting up on the workbench until I need them.
