Eco .... 1600 Cl7 :d

the ECO series is about one thing and that is performance with low voltage, and that is what GSKILL are aiming for, they have to do it well and we are glad to say they did.

We love to see that GSKILL are stretching their legs when it comes to overclocking RAM
and we have to say this is the one to get ;)

Nice results man:up:

Will you try these on an AMD platform perhaps?:D

Lol, whats inside those rams? Low-cost Elpida Hyper? :D

lol ... low cost :D?

i don't think, 1600cl7 @ 1.35v i think is possible only with good ics...

is this expensive?

The frecuencys achieved are very good , but still in Everest you should have better scores..See if you have B2B CAS DELAY DISABLED in bios , or disabled it with memset, you will have much better results..
And also try with a higher BKCL 200 in raport 2:10 = 2000.
Here with i achieved with a 50$ kit.-KVR1333D3N9K2/2G
BKCL 222 , 3.996GHZ, 1776 CL 8-9-8-21 -B2B CAS DELAY DISABLED:)

Nice runs bro
Eco costs lower than 100eu in some european shop
i mounted them in my daily use pc 910 7-8-7-21 1.56 LinX stable :D

Mate, run Win MemTest 3.9 instead of linpack :)

the reason i use Linx is just caz i think 90% of normal users don't use their memory @ 100% and 2gb testing is enought for our Stable daily use pc
maybe i am wrong :yepp:

Yes. You are wrong. Linpack doesn`t stress RAM a lot. You can be stable with linpack but not with memtest.

hm I was run 5 loops of memtest and after boot to W7 and start linx, memory was not stable :confused:
memtest is not the best tester for ram I think.

USE WINDOWS MEMTEST 4.0 ! Not DOS !

Linx as i setted Stress 2Gb memory, it's enough for me and i think 95% of users no?

LinX 1820 7-8-7-24 1.56 20 Run passed

Guys, one more time: Linpack doesn`t stress RAM hard. The most stressful utility for RAM is Windows Memtest 4.0.
In defferent words: you can be stable at linpack but not stable in MemTest4.0
12-23-2009, 09:23 AM

one more time :D Memtest stress 100% memory but linx @ max just 2gb
we don't need stress our memories @ 100% caz we don't use them @ max 100%, maybe just render video, 3dmax render etc can use memory @ 100%
but for gaming and normal pc use we don't need stress them @ 100% with memtest, Linx it's enough :D

Stable enough for me and on AMD to boot.......

Seems to be consistent on more than one motherboard.

Criminal,

Note ram dividers I used and try again. ;)

For c6 drop to even lower ;)

Any questions just PM me, it took me a while to figure it out but these sticks are rocking now.

Review will be posted later on today.

Np man, I like to help :)

I found that about 1.58-1.60v max so give it a shot, sticks can handle it but don't like any more. ;)

Hmmm .... It looks to me something like Elpida BBSE .

Any chance of testing a triple channel kit ???? :)

pcicriminal, good cas6 speed.. is it 1,6v?

yes i see,that 1600CL7 ECO scales very well on AMD i just need to tweak a bit more to get 1600 CL6 stable
thanks again

sorry i forgot to post voltages ,its 1.59v and cpu was working under -8c

Well here's the best i can do with the ECO's this was at 1.65v and my goal was to keep them stable. I can manage over 200 but not by much and i'm having trouble keeping them stable. I haven't tested how low i can go with voltages, but this is basically on the edge, so it doesn't really matter. This was done with Asus p7p55 LX, a cheap board.

Hrm, that's 3 times now I've heard a BCLK wall being mentioned with this RAM. Dern... I think I'll have to get some Ripjaws instead. Strange that they both (well, the Ripjaws I'd get, 2000 CL9) use BBSE but this stuff has a hard time getting a high BCLK.

Yeah there is a wall that i can't get past, after 210 i can't do any thing to make them go farther and i haven't tried crazy voltages.
But I have to ask what RipJaws for the price can do better?

Yeah they were under a 100.
After i looked at there results i found that it wasn't the Memory that was holding me back it was the IMC. IMC @ 1.35v=210BCLK, 220 seems a little out there though, I think i may be able to get it there though. If not i'll see what i can manage @210.

I benched a bit there not even close to stable at 2100 and performance seems to be going backwards, I did however reach 25GB/s Bandwidth in Sandra. But Everest was all over the place.
So i guess i reached the limit. with my last benchmark.
After more testing, it seems to come down to voltage. The extra IMC voltage gave me more stability at 1.3v but the memory seems to need i'm guessing at least 1.75 to come close to stable at 2100. I can't test that theory though I don't have the cooling to do that. But i did try 1.7 and did notice improved benchmark scores, my next voltage step is 1.8 and I'm not ready to go there yet.
