G.Skill ECO PC3-12800 7-8-7 1.35v in the house!

[Apokalipse]

I'm not sure, haven't taken the heat spreaders off (It's difficult to fit a razor under to get them off without ruining the RAM chips)
I got mine at pc case gear (MSY only sells the CL9 stuff)

[jalyst]

bummer, did you buy yours recently or many months ago?

[Apokalipse]

pretty recent (a few weeks)
*edit*
4GB of it purchased on 10th March, 4Gb on 31st March.
I don't know if each set uses use the same chips (haven't compared them so far either)

If I can find a small enough razer blade, I might try taking the heatspreaders off to see what chips are underneath.

[jalyst]

Think I was about 24/2 and 3/3; so about 8 and 7 weeks ago.
That'd be sweet if you could, I'd do the same but I'm not game!

Plus I'm not about to start my build for some time yet.
Still researching some final parts.....

[reisya]

That's about the best I seen yet...
Do your Eco sticks use the elpida chips?

btw about elpida chips. mine use elpida chip, but cant run CL6 @800Mhz

[jalyst]

hmm, so maybe apokalipse has something different.

[Apokalipse]

what volts are you running them at?
*edit*
saw previous post.

yeah, 1.67V is kinda high to keep them stable.

yuph. at 1,67v make my eco stable..
maybe our elpida chip have different series LOL

Thanks for the reviews on these.
The question I have that I didn't see addressed anywhere is will these sticks do their rated spec on 6:1 strap stable at stock 1.1v uncore voltage with everything else at default?

Yeah, I know this isn't exactly an "Xtreme" question but I'd still like to know the answer if you guys happened to notice when you were benching them

I noticed the Kingston pair I'm currently using jack up the uncore to 1.3v to achieve their rated speed when applying xmp.
This is in spec for Bloomfield but is well above Intels published max of 1.21v for Lynnfield.
(btw, there is zero mention of this little fact on the packaging or on their website and there doesn't seem to be any way to get this information until you actually plug them in and review the bios settings.)

Bloomfield sticks, imho, are just not designed properly for Lynnfield.
Glad to see the ram manufacturers starting to address this.
I've asked Mushkin to swap my DOA 996782 RMA sticks for their 1.35v 996825s (I offered to pay the difference) for this reason but I don't know yet whether they will come through.

[Apokalipse]

I'd like to test these further to see how high I can clock them. Though I don't exactly have the best board to do that with right now.

[jalyst]

My board's better than your avg h55/h57 and even most p55's for OC
http://www.anandtech.com/show/2929/5
One of these days when I actually get round to building my htpc/pvr I'll try a bit of OC'in.
But I'm not interested in hardcore OC's, and one shouldn't expect them with these sticks.

[Apokalipse]

They're not record breaking sticks, but they're pretty good for what they cost.

I'm thinking of getting a Crosshair IV Formula or Extreme board. From what I've seen they can get the most out of RAM/HTT.

[jalyst]

Oh yeah they're pretty damn good, & i especially love the frequency/timings they hit at such low stock voltage.
Some of the top-end p55's or x58's will be slightly better than my mobo for hardcore oc's, but that's not the emphasis for my build.

[Apokalipse]

I took the heatspreader off one side of one of my RAM sticks, and this is what was under it:


*edit*
It reads: XDX028A3G-A

i think best board with price performance and can run with HT and NB fly-by vote for Asus

XDX
sounds elpida start with " E "

crosshair formula sounds good for max your ram

Hmm, no idea how one goes about determining what it is.
Does a google turn up anything for you? Nothing clear cut for me.

I think those are Powerchip

[Don_Dan]

I think those are Powerchip

Yes

Guys, just google the end of the code, A3G-A.

[jalyst]

Interesting, nice find guys!
This is what I came across when I googled "A3G-A"

So Transcend chips?
Tempted to take the spreaders off mine now, maybe

transcend chip huh
i want make sure what chip on my eco but heatspreader cover with seal of warranty

[Don_Dan]

Transcend is a memory maker, not a chip maker.

Matose is right, it's PSC.

[jalyst]

Yeah I suspected that is the case....
But in using the search you suggested, how is the link made that they're chips fab'd by PSC?

I have that kit running on my P8P67 Pro at 7-10-8-24 1T @ 2133MHz so its pretty decent stuff so far.
