Ultra low profile 1.35v 30nm DDR3 capable of 2400MHz. Perfect for SFF builds.

Cost me considerably less than that to import a kit. Mind you ocuk have never been shy of making a fast buck. Their in house testing is probably info gleaned from this thread .

Where did you buy yours? I've been trying to get my hands on a kit or two for quite some time now but it's hard to find a good deal (with shipping to Sweden included). Any tips?

[PiLsY]

Im not sure about shipping to Sweden but when Amazon.com themselves have stock its available in the international section. Its hard to say where theyll ship as every item is different. Also the import fees are paid at checkout but if its wrong you have to pay the extra, keep the receipt and get amazon to refund you.

If I was you Id go for the new Crucial stuff instead - the 9-9-9-27 rated 1866mhz kits. They seem to do as well or better (depending on your mobo anyway, anything below Deluxe level for Asus is typically incapable again, works great on ROG tho) and are way more easily available.

If you need low profile ram though there really is no substitute .


[EDIT - Just checked Amazon and they have stock but I get the "We are unable to ship this item to your default shipping address" message. Maybe no longer available international if a few people ordered them and they got hit for loads of fees refunds or something?]

ordering from usa is risky of custom fee tax.

What voltage have people got these to be stable at with stock speed and timings? I know this is extreme bandwidth, but I am still curious. I just got the kit and am still playing, but at default speeds (DDR1600 w/ 11-11-11) and I am in Windows right now at 1.225v

Im curious to how these will go on Z77 motherboards.

Very informative answer, thank you! I saw the thread about the new 30 nm Crucials and I'll keep looking into them, they seemed quite more expensive than the Samsung kit though. Especially as I was considering buying two kits.
Yeah, I'm running a Crosshair V Formula with a FX-8150 so I should be fine!

Low profile RAM isn't necessarily a priority. I was just looking for a kit that was fun to tweak in a 4x4GB configuration and it sure looks like those Crucials will do the job. I just hope I can find two of the kits cheap enough! Any more good tips?

[EniGmA1987]

Anyone have some tips for me on these? I got a couple kits to play with and I cannot get them to boot past DDR-1912. 1920 = no post :/ I tried voltage anywhere from 1.4-1.7 and none of it works. It will post at DDR1912 with 1.4v, didnt try getting into Windows though. I loosened primary timings to 11-12-11 and that didnt work either. Which is odd considering everyone else seems to get an easy 2133 and many even higher. Im thinking it is just the CPU I am on right now (PII 955).

Phenom II's mem controller doesn't like high speed ram unlike the new chips like Llano and Bulldozer. I've got around the 1900MHz mark on my old Phenom 965 system as well. If you want to keep pushing it, crank up the voltage! Using only 1.4v on the dimms isn't that much for what they can handle.

[EniGmA1987]

going from 1.4v all the way to 1.7v doesnt get any further though. And my Mushkins I have can go to 2100MHz perfectly fine. So makes me think there is something I can change in the bios to make these sticks go farther.

[PiLsY]

Yeah its the mem controller on the Phenom - its just not really up to running 4gb dimms at 2000mhz or so.

Anyone noticed memory prices going back up? I was about to recommend the mushkin blackline 10-11-10 2133mhz kit for cheap thrills - checked and its £80 per kit now. I paid £40 just before christmas? There doesnt really seem to be anything worthwhile buying now in terms of value/overclock except the new crucial stuff.

[Mungri]

Holy crap thats expensive.

Considering that absolutely nowhere else in the UK / Europe is stocking these, no its not.

No competition, high performance niche product, they could probably price them at £200 per 8 Gb and still sell them all if they wanted to.

I'll keep my 2 Gb modules though, I dont think these will do anything good on X58.

kkk it's mine, no more at amazon?

[GripS]

FYI

Just received notification that newegg has these in stock! Got mine ordered. I hope they perform the same and aren't some new revision. I will report results.

I spent the last 2 hours or so wrestling with the Samsung 2x4GB low voltage 30nm kit. They really pissed me off. Not sure if I got a bad set of ram or my mb just doesn't like them. Tried as high as CAS 11@2133mhz with voltage ranging from 1.5v to 1.67v and no matter what voltage I set it at I couldn't boot into it. I was using the same settings that I run my set of G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL9Q-8GBZH.

I have read so many incredible stories about the Samsung ram that I just had to try it.

Part of my problem may be my MSI Z68 GD65 G3 BIOS. It has been known to be finicky. I'm kind of glad the Samsung didn't work out because I was already in the process of selling my G.Skill at a loss. I really thought the Samsung would scale better in over clocking and performance.

Also note that my system setting that I was testing with was 4.8ghz on s 2500k that I have benched as high as 5.3GHZ on water.

[zeropluszero]

from what ive been hearing, it will.
which is why im hoping asus will bring a new bios to the M4E. im probably dreaming, but maybe.

[aussie-revhead]

You can only hope, but Im sure they will reserve good mem clocks for the new chipset, to help people decide to upgrade ....

Now I'm feeling these sticks! :rockout:
I figured out the steps posted in the Techpowerup review on getting the Sammys to come alive.

1.5v on the ram.




http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2296934


I'm going to try 2133mhz next with 1T-9-11-10-27 with 1.5v.

[SonDa5]

The Sammys don't seem to be performing as well as the Gskills.

Here is my 8GB set of GSkill RAM info: G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR...


1.6v@ 1T-9-11-10-27 @2133mhz


When I put the Sammys in I couldn't use my old CPU tweak settings so i had to start over on over clocking the system. My cpu settings need to be tweaked a little more right now to see how the Sammy's compare.

Right now i am having no luck with the Sammy's stability at 2133mhz with my cpu at 5GHZ.




What I am seeing is that the SAMMYS may not work that well at higher over clocked CPU speeds. I am also seeing that the Sammys are smooth at lower speeds and voltages but lack the big punch in performance that my Gskills have.

[3lfk1ng]

SonDa5, do you have them at 1.55v+

[Punisher!]

SonDa5, do you have them at 1.55v+

/this

They seems to improve even more @1.6/1.65V.

[PiLsY]

If youre going from 2gb sticks to 4gb sticks then thats probably your answer. 4gb sticks work the cpu and imc harder, you'll need to re-check your voltages and maybe even lose a few mhz.

My 2500k will run 5ghz and 2 x 2gb @ 2250, 4.8ghz and 2 x 4gb @ 2189, 4.9ghz and 2 x 4gb @ 2154. 5ghz will run everything I do stable but fail/bsod/reboot running linx or prime at full mem usage 2 x 4gb @ 2133mhz. Granted its an utterly rubbish cpu (5ghz 1.52v), but it shows that if youre dialled in close to the cpu limit you start to suffer with mem clocks. Same goes for bclk too incidentally.

[SonDa5]

Screen shot above at 1.5v on the Sammy's.


CADAVECA from Techpowerup is teaching me hot to over clock them. I have some tweaks that I will apply when I have some time and see if I can get more performance and speed out of them.

Also the Sammy's don't scale well above 1.575v. That is what CADAVECA stated.

You never know. Each kit is never the same...
