"TridentX 1.85" Preset @ DDR3-2600 with 1.605v DRAM (My 3570K gives a "23" code at 2800).

@Sergio: You should try testing your kit at "TridentX 1.85" 2666 with less volts... I don't think my chip's IMC is strong enough.

Thanks bud will do !!!

a quick boot at 5GHz HT with 2933 CL11-13-13-35 1T ~ 1.725

keep in mind guys that i dont have a bench rig im a 24/7 guy so im using 2x SSD for OS and 2x HDD for storage and all installed wich loads a bunch of crap at start, very happy the IMC goes to this and also tried 3000 will post later cauz it BSOD lol

Good IMC. Hate to see 1.6GHz on CPU speed lol please turn off the speedstep craps

Thanks !!!

haha i hate it too but its good for 24/7

Nvm mate... Ehh your chip IMC is 3000 capable?

[andressergio]

yes i was lucky this time

Good to hear that bro. Congrats!

Mine are not the expensive 2800 C11 but the 2600 C10 version. Not that it makes them less impressive, look at this and see how tight the timings are:



Unfortunately the IMC doesn't like 1400MHz, i will put my second 3770K in soon and shoot for 2800.

that is very impresive Zeus

What im explaining to the guys here is that i only have 1 PC and thats my server for movies, music and gamming station, so i run the benches on it, so i can do the same as yours with my TeamX not at 1,65v but wont be stable for 24/7 operation u got me ? the most i got stable for gamming is 2600 CL10 or a bit more 2666, so i decided to go for certified 2800CL11 RAM and i was lucky to get them 289 dollars not like now that are very expensive and also very lucky with a 3000 IMC.

Good luck on your tests !!!
Cheers

Thanks man. For me it's the same, one rig that i'm using for everything. I'm using memtest 86 a lot before booting into Windows, this has saved me a nightmare or two. Booting into Windows with unstable ram will corrupt your OS in the blink of an eye.

So far this ram seems rock solid at the settings i posted above. What hit me as a surprise was that it's able to run TRRSR at 4, which gives a very nice boost in bandwidth.

Seems like your kit has some pretty good ic to me. Double sided or single sided? Just think of the savings compared to a Corsair 2666 C10 kit. I wonder if your kit is rolling with Samsung or Hynix? It will also be interesting to see how it scales up to 2800...

yes i should test with this new chip with strong IMC i have TRRSR 4 as with the other i couldnt not even at 2600

can u pass at least 100% windows memtest with those settings, not the boot one but the windows one ?

[Zeus]

To be honest, i forgot to look if they're double or single sided. I immediately slotted them in and started testing.

From what i can see with the sticks in place i'd say double sided.

The serial has 1500 in it, assuming this is Samsung.

Gonna try HCI memtest tomorrow Sergio, will let you guys know.

[Viss]

Got the same kit back from RMA the other day Eus, box says aug 2012 (serial start with 1234150) and they are better then the older kit i send in, 32M at 2800 10-12-12-31-1 with only 1.675v

no not that memtest on windows this one like i did its the worst one to pass lol

[tool_462]

yes i was lucky this time

I'll trade you my chip that can't do 2400 IMC, everyone knows lower is better on memory right!?

[deachus]

Sergio, that is HCI memtest for windows you are using. I use the same one.

thanks mate yes its HCI but for windows

i went a bit further today they pass really good with tight subtimmings

[deachus]

Nice!

Was able to pass 150% 2600mhz with my new batch TeamGroups with pretty tight timings but 1.675v. Will have those early batch TeamGroups Tuesday!

Sent from my Sprint HTC EVO 4G

Nice Bart! Mine say July 2012 and also have 1500 in the serial. Unfortunately the chip i got from you doesn't seem to be stable at 1400MHz ram so i'm gonna have to try my other chip for that.

no not that memtest on windows this one like i did its the worst one to pass lol

Passed 125%, stopped it manually. As far as i'm concerned stable as a rock.



Needed 1.66V but this is with TRRSR at 4 which is pretty tight in my book.

I think Gskill saved their very best Samsung chips for these 2600 sticks and their best Hynix for the 2800 sticks.

[Dumo]

Enough for hcl, loc mem stability tests. Lol

With good imc this ram should be torture to what it capable of
