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

[Dumo]

Got this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...Desktop-Memory

Scale to 2550 and thats max.

Imo, 2400 cas9 kits will have better odd to go 2600+

I've been curious about those Mushkin 2400s for a while. Came close to pulling the trigger on them more than once, but I kept having doubts, especially after receiving the GSkill single-sided Tridents X "1500s", so I always passed. Those Mushkin seem to max out about the same, and come with pretty much the same timings at the same clocks. So, are they single, or double sided?

If you had to guess (based on your testing), which ICs do you think that they have under the spreaders?

Double sided samsung either hch9 or something newer.
Imo, its not worth the time unless cpu's imc can't scale to 2600+

Mushkin usually uses Hynix, from the clocks you got I'm guessing they're about the same bin as the CFR in HyperX Predator 2400 C11 that can't crack 2600.

Flank3r, just try to boot at 2400 10-11-10. If it boots, it's Hynix. No boot> Samsung.

edit: Let me take that back.

[FlanK3r]

just got these

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...Desktop-Memory

G.SKILL Trident X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C10D-8GTX

havent tested yet

but i can confirm they are single sided and serial xxxx15000xxxxx

so definitely samsung

lol, with the same serail part I have double sided...


PS: Zeus - no boot at 10-11-10 and not at 10-12-10 :-(...(now with AMD system)

[Leeghoofd]

Don't they all look like this?

Some are sort of readable

Flank3r, just try to boot at 2400 10-11-10. If it boots, it's Hynix. No boot> Samsung.

I would try to boot with these at C11-13-11, iso tightening tRCD and CAS... my Hynix kit's don't like tighter CAS... if ithey allow very tight tRAS: good Samsung

Here's my review: G.Skill TridentX 2400 MHz CL10 2 x 4 GB. Translated to english by google.

Serial no. xxxx1500 (single sided):




Results (HyperPi 32M stable) on FM1 (A8-3850 + ASRock A75 Extreme6):
* 832 MHz 6-6-6 1T 1,75 V,
* 960 MHz 7-7-7 1T 1,75 V,
* 1045 MHz 8-8-8 1T 1,65 V (need tRCD/tRP @ 10T for higher clocks),
* 1082 MHz 8-10-10 1T 1,75 V,
* 1185 MHz 9-11-11 1T 1,75 V,
* 1269 MHz 10-12-12 1T 1,65 V - max clocks.

Higher timings than 10-12-12 doesn't help. :/

[Reefa_Madness]

Translated to english.

"Server not found."

Also, single, or double sided "1500s"?

[superpyton]

Link corrected.
They are single sided.

[Counter CS]

For all that cant pass 25xxMhz, have you "PLL enabled" ?

I couldnt pass that mark, no boot at 2600mhz or higher.
Only after enabled PLL i could get 2600mhz, 2660mhz, 2800mhz on P67 M4E
Using some Hynix CFR 2799mhz 11-14-13-26 1T or 2802Mhz need 11-15-13-26 1T with 1,875v Dram


Trying for more Mhz after that.

[superpyton]

It was tested on FM1, there's no such option.
Motherboard and CPU is able to run memory @ 1306 MHz (9,33 * 140).

single sided xxxx15000

booted at 1252 10-12-12-31-46-2T @1.65v but wasn't very stable...

happy i got them working on AMD even at stock settings so ill be testing more. but judging by the price drops on these i wouldn't expect anything great out of these kits anymore.


what should tRC be? also these can do 1T?

[FlanK3r]

you right Zeus, looks for Samsung (srry for my sh*ty paint), today morning I had better light in room

[Farmer Boe]

Hey guys, I bought a set of these a few days ago and tried them on my sandy bridge system. The IMC on my chip is kinda weak and I couldn't boot in to 2400MHz off the bat. I dropped it to 2133MHz and managed 8-9-10-15 1T out of these sticks! Very odd timings for sure (must be samsung). I was using 1.7 volts. They were prime 95 and superpi 32m stable. I'm going to continue messing with them on the sandy bridge rig then try them in my FM2 system.

[Leeghoofd]

These sticks rated speeds are not for SB, but for Ivy... 2250-2275MHz or so is a good SB IMC. 2400MHz is not gonna happen on Sandy...

I would run them at your current settings, maybe even 8-10-10-15 1T at 1.65Vdimm for 24/7 usage

[FlanK3r]

Exactly.the best imc for classic cooling method has Ib,specially 3770k.2400 is possible with fx and Trinity too,sometimes sb-e

Try tRC 50T. Maybe a bit higher CPU-NB voltage (1,3 - 1,35 V) will help?

I had them up to 2260MHz using 106 blck with 9-11-11-20 1T timings. Not too shabby for cheap dimms and medicore 2500K.

Looks like the G.Skill IC lottery continues. I had to RMA my CFR-based RipjawsZ 2133C9 4x4GB kit, my replacement is xxxx1500 Samsung. At least they aren't single-sided.

Probably not HCH9 but HYK0?

[Reefa_Madness]

I wondered about that myself, since HYK0 has already shown up in some GSkill modules (G.Skill Trident-X 2600C10-8GB with same Aug 2012 Mfg date).

[Hyperhorn]

The review sample of F3-2400C10D-8GTX (SN: xxxx1500xxxxxx) I recieved have 8 ICs per side of the PCB and are good e. g. for P95/Blend at 1200 MHz with 11-11-11-33 and 1.50 V, but are not suitable for 10-11-10-33 at this lowered voltage.

It's HCH9. I took a peek under the heatspreader.

Any possible connection between the above post and the RMA request???

By the way, glad to hear that you got HCH9. Certainly more upside potential with those, then again it appears that GSkill is binning the heck out of those Samsung chips to get the high end stuff so maybe not.
