G.SKILL TridentX 2400MHz modular - great and cheap $99

[Ivanlabrie]

I'm seeing a pattern with that x500 nomenclature, single sided kits being 1 and dual being 2...

What ic/serial do the 69usd 2x4gb Trident x 2400mhz kits have normally?*

Done with only 1.66 Vdimm:

1300Mhz 10-12-12-31 1T



Nice piece of hardware

Hey camouflage, good to see you around again!

i really want to pick up a 4x4gb kit of this stuff to replace my ripjaw z 2400 kit

There shouldn't be any difference in performance if they're using the same ICs; I'm guessing you prefer the look of the Trident X sticks?

mostly yes.

Replaced board and cooling - now using Corsair H60 & AsRock Z77 Extreme4.

This is best I can do so far with the sticks:





Bandwith seems to be very good for Z77 chipset with this combo.

Think they are HYNIX so they don't reflect much on raising voltage and 1300MHz is max for 32M.

Just ordered a 8GB pair G.SKILL TrindentX 2400 CL9 sticks, maybe I can break 40k in AIDA64 write.

This should be SAMSUNG - looking forward even get better 32M also.

BTW - nice to get remebered after all the years.......................

Actually, the Trident X 2400C10 kits are 99.9% Samsung 4Gb chips, you can check your serial number in this thread. These chips max out somewhere between 1250 and 1300 MHz and don't scale on voltage.

The 2400C9 kits are Samsung 2Gb chips and they'll scale a lot better than the kit you have right now!

Sure!

Hm, 3 days delivery delay............... - have to wait for the CL9 a bit longer.

Strange issue, someone with similar problem around here?

camouflage, as far as i remember there was a change in the way that AIDA64 benchmark calculates performance rates after a specific version ( i believe it was 4.30, maybe i'm wrong though)

you can check it at the AIDA64 update thread by stasio, i think it was mentioned there...try to run the benchmark with an old version.

in case that is what's happening to your benchmarks, then maxxmem2 is just underestimating memory performance

Hey felix,

thx for information. Appreciate it.

Nice to know - will try older version of AIDA then.

OK - 2400 CL9 kit in da house. Just one quick 32M @4Ghz with a lot of rubbish running in background:





But stable with tweaked timings - I can even set tras to 25 and trfc to 147.

I did not touch the voltage - it's still 1.65v.

40k in write is hard to break @ 1300Mhz but i broke 39k in read and 37k in copy.

Latency is also nice. This RAM is insane.
