2x4GB ram that plays well with AMD

[eXa]

Besides some info regarding ripjaws i cant really find anything out there about 2x4GBsticks+AMD
And wich IC that are used is very much a mystery too it seemes.

I took a gamble on a Patriot 1600mhz cas9 set and failed.
Now i dont know what set to get.

I guess people will just tell me to get ripjaws but;
1, wich set? there is several.
And 2 and most important, G.Skill aint sold in Norway anymore.

There is however several options to choose from but no clue anywhere as to wich set that might be ok with AMD.

Patriot 1600Mhz Gaming Sector 5 (9-9-9-24) (1.65v) (would only run cas11 @ 1600mhz)
Patriot 1600MHz Viper Xtreme Series Low Latency 8-9-8-24 Kit (1.65v)
Patriot 1600MHz Viper Xtreme Series Division 2 Low Latency 8-9-8-24 Kit (1.65v)

What do you mean when you say you gambled and failed?

The Patriot ram doesn't work? (I've owned Patriot ram a few times and never had any problems.)

I also owned G.Skill and that brand didn't seem to work well with AMD.

There are only 3 or 4 memory types that will work in your mobo at 4GB per slot. Take a look and try to find a kit with one of those mem chips.

[eXa]

When i said i failed i ment that while the ram do work, it doesnt work well. i am not able to change subtimings without failing to boot. So im stuck with cas 11 ram @ 1600mhz, and that aint very good(and its cas9 ram >_<)
I switched to the GA890GPA-UD3H today, the UD2 had pci-e problems...

And i cant look for ram with certain types of chips when there is almost 0 info (that i can find) about what chips different 4GB sticks use...

Edit: And that list only shows 1 and 2 GB sticks.

[eXa]

Here is the chips used on my Patriot 1600Mhz Gaming Sector 5 (9-9-9-24) (1.65v) 2x4GB set atleast.

[eXa]

It would be nice if someone else have pictures of ram and wich IC they use, feel free to post them here

Edit: 4GB sticks ofc!

[AmdAtiTom420]

Did you try the Patriots at 1333mhz, 1.5v and or the other set of dimms ?

[eXa]

Didnt bother, thats not what i want.

Hehe, that picture doesnt show much....

[charged3800z24]

I have used the Corsair 4GB sticks (Econo kits) 1333mhz for 16GB total a system. There were used on Adobe video encoding boxes with 1090t CPU's most were Gigabyte boards. They have never had any issues. But they were not hyperformance kits and ran stock.

[eXa]

Well, 1333 cas9 or 1600 cas11 is rather unimpressive. Im looking for more like 1600 cas7 or 1800 cas8(on AMD).
I know the G.Skil F3-12800CL7D-8GBRH 1600 7-8-7-24 1.6v is capable, but G.skil aint available in Norway so im looking for something that can perform closer to that kit.
Besides, there are almost 0 info on wich IC that are used on different 4GB sticks, so it would be nice to be able to gather up some info

[eXa]

Jay, found a picture of the IC used on the G.Skil F3-12800CL7D-8GBRH 1600 7-8-7-24 1.6v set


Hynix H5TQ2G83BFR -H9C, thats some progress atleast

[cbjaust]

Have you looked here to see if you can find the info you're after?

[eXa]

Not a single 4GB stick...

[eXa]

G.Skill F3-16000CL9D-8GBRM 2000 9.10.9.28 1.55v

Hynix H5TQ2G83BFR -H9C

Same as the other G.Skill kit it seemes.

[eXa]

OCZ Flex EX 2133 10.10.10.30 1.65v
and
MachX Armor 2000 9-9-9-24 1.65v

[robbicfc]

Have you looked at Exceleram stuff? Don't know what chips they are using but they seem to be ok
http://www.exceleram.com/en/html/pc3-12800.html, i'm using the 2 X 4GB Black Sark kit (E30122B), €90 from Mindfactory.

[AmdAtiTom420]

Didnt bother, thats not what i want.

Hehe, that picture doesnt show much....

Ok..ok..lol.. I'll look up how to unclamp the heatsinks ..

Have you looked here for a possible bios fix ?

[eXa]

Ive been looking at pictures on Newegg of the cheaper ram without heatsinks.
Seemes like kingston also uses hynix chips, if they do that for all theire sticks i have no idea.

G.Skil G.SKILL Value Series 8GB 1333 CL9 1.5v - D9LGK
Kingston KVR1066D3N7K2/8G 1066 CL7 1.5v - H5TQ2G83AFR -H9C
Kingston KVR1333D3N9K2/8G 1333 CL9 1.5v - H5TQ2G83AFR -H9C
Crucial CT2KIT51264BA1339 1333 CL9 1.5v - D9KLV
Patriot Signature PSD38G1600K 1600 CL9 1.5v -Patriot E038V8C094JC
Transcend JM1333KLN-8GK 1333 CL9 1.5v - D9LGK

[eXa]

Have you looked here for a possible bios fix ?

I use Gigabyte and i have updated to newest bios, but i just think that my patriot sticks dont play well with amd. I put my kingston sticks in the UD3H and they behave very similar as in the UD2H.

[eXa]

Hmm, just noticed that the OCZ flex/Mach Armor IC have the same type of numbering(naming?) as the Patriot IC...

[eXa]

Have you looked at Exceleram stuff? Don't know what chips they are using but they seem to be ok
http://www.exceleram.com/en/html/pc3-12800.html, i'm using the 2 X 4GB Black Sark kit (E30122B), €90 from Mindfactory.

Hmm not bad, wonder what IC they use...

[Daveburt714]

Besides some info regarding ripjaws i cant really find anything out there about 2x4GBsticks+AMD

Nice info in this thread!

I can't offer you alot, and I know you said G.Skill wasn't an option for you, but here goes....

I just bought a RipjawX kit 8gb (2x4) 1600 CL9, and it works fine in a BioStar board. Just got it yesterday so haven't had much time, but it runs stock no problems.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231426
I was going to try and get you a pic of the chips, but the heat spreader is stuck on there pretty good, and I didn't want to bend it (yet).

A freind of mine just built a new VM server using 16gb (4x4) of the Corsair Vengance modules.
http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0354611
He's not an overclocker, but said it was running without problems on a GBT UD5 with a 1055T.

Hope this helps a little........ Dave

[eXa]

Well in "worst case" i will buy something from another country.

[mattkosem]

My F3-16000CL9D-8GBFL kit plays well with my Thuban. I can do a stable 1000 without issues as long as the NB is at 2700 or below.

I guess thoose are hynix as well, seemes like its worth looking for hynix based ram. Now if i just could figure out whats used in corsair vengeance...
