Figuring out G.Skill's SNs

[Don_Dan]

=)) I know you know,every single 2000+ kit 2x2 gb has same bidders,always the same,it's getting funny because if we would make a deal before those sellers would not get rich

To be honest I haven't bought any 2000+ kits on ebay in a long time, though I watch most of the auctions. The prices are ridiculous for mediocre kits at best...

I don't think price fixing will work, there will always be someone else who's willing to pay more.

1.915v all air cooled



a bit more with the same volts. . .

What kit? Almost identical to my 2000 9-9-9 ripjaws kit. Can't wait for my new 2200 CL7 PI's to arrive.

GSkill Engineering sample, Flare 2000C6 - you can see the spd tab, just for the fututre

[Asmola]

Yes, i saw the part number but newer heard about that kit and did not realized that FLD means Flare.

That's what you need to drive down the prices...collusion (price fixing) among the buyers.

Mine was just a tongue-in-cheek comment, trying to find a little humor in the current trend of escalating ram prices.

FL is always Flares, but like on the PI the last letter varies between S and D - seems to be a question of age and the mood of the gskill engineers

Seems to me that I've noticed the "D" at the end on kits which included the fans. May have to go take a peek at their site, or on Newegg to see if that actually holds true.

Edit:
Looks to be the case:

Kits with model number ending in "D"

F3-17000CL11Q2-64GBZLD
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231525

similar kit (only 32GB instead of 64GB) without fan

F3-17000CL11Q2-32GBZL
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231502


Another one with fan:

F3-17000CL11Q-32GBZLD
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231524

and the same without the fan

F3-2133C11Q-32GZL
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231620

All of the DDR3-2400/2600/2666 kits currently available at the Egg that have fans show model numbers ending in "D"...except two with "old style" Trident (not Trident X) heatsinks...these have the "D" at the end, but I think it is simply because of the use of two letters to identify the series TriDent. A scan of their lower end stuff (1866 and lower) shows no model numbers ending in "D", except for one with the "old style" Trident spreaders.

F3-2400C10D-8GTD
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231641

then to further muck things up, these two kits, both with fans, have the "D", but follow it with a "G":

F3-2800C11D-8GTXDG
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231640

and

F3-2800C11Q-16GTXDG
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231641

...all cleared up now?

[websmile]

No - because I have several 2000c6 and had several 2200c7 kits etc that came in box with fan and had the S in SPD and also on stickers.... - also my flares came with fan and have the S - what I can confirm is that Kits that are meant to be shipped with fan have a letter, either S or D, which for example was missing at my 1600 c6-8-6 Pi quad kit, which came in blister without fan. There spd only showed GBPI.

And these came with fan

as well as these 2000c6 PIS as well for example = is not same kit, you can see on spd

and these Flare

So my conclusion is that the letter in spd says that these are originally intended to come with fan, but it doesn't solve the d/s pattern - on the Trident you are 100% right, the D is part of the shortcut TD for trident

I was just kidding...I meant it as a "clear as mud".

[websmile]

I suspected this - nontheless your examples above brought some light into the partnumbers of gskill atm and are helpful for may, I guess - maybe, like on ic patterns, GSkill likes to give us some puzzles which cannot be solved and are laughting their xxxxx off when they read this

Here's a new one I think, I have a Trident 2133 9-9-9 1.65v with a Oct 12 stamp and a serial that starts with 12421800xxxxxx, first time I have seen BBSE with no 0640

1.84v

Sarcasm doesn't always come thru well in words...

[Reefa_Madness]

first time I have seen BBSE with no 0640

Those are the first "1800" that I've seen for BBSE. With an Oct 2012 date, would that kit have been a replacement for someone's RMA?

From the older batches, there were some that weren't 0640, as Dumo has posted pics of some that were coded as 0690, but were BBSE and not Hyper, as you would have expected.

Post #105 in this very thread...the ones with the black PCB.

Those (blue 2133C8 BBSE) black pcbs won't even stable @ 2600 8-11-7-28 air and borked under cold too

[Alex-Ro]

i tested a kit(blck pcb 2133 C8) that had voltage tolerance at maximum 1.73,anything over==>reboot loop.Could do maximum 2400 8-10-7 at 1.73

2600 with tRCD 9? LN2 cooled?

All three of my kits have black pcb and can all do 2600 8-11-7 but only on the Asrock board not the Asus.

[Alex-Ro]

I doubt that in asrock bbse run better than asus,asus treatened me very good with samsung and bbse,these 2 are a pain in the ass on the asrock board,psc and hynix clocks relatevely the same.You could have perfect sample of asrock board,i wasn't able to find one in 3,so i find this unacceptable,this quality varriance...Btw,that kit had same voltage problems on other boards too,bad luck

[natu]

yes Ln2 cooled

I have tested three different boards and they could all do same clocks, so your samples of memory must not be up to par. Not to mention I have used these kits over multiple chips with no issues on all three boards.

[Calathea]

Ditto



No such luck with green pcb. Some are even batch 690, praying for non-hypers... lol never would've thought I'd say that.

So these pretty much sucked. All 0640 sticks fail 1250 8-11-7 no matter voltage. 0690 can do 1250+ 8-11-8 but trrsr 5, no good trrsr 4. Only ONE good stick, 1200 7-10-7-24 ok 1.70 volt, 1270 8-10-7 trrsr 4 tight subs at 1.82 volt. Ah well, at least no hypers

Nop,my memory samples are ok,asrock oc formula boards tested by me just sucked.Please don't try to argue again,when i put samsungs and bbse that did 2600 8-11-7 and 2800 9-12-12 just fine on asus,and on formula they give 55 or self reboot all-over?nick said there could pe problems,so i just rma the board,but how can i do that when 3 mobo's do the same,what is this,i have to start binning motherboards now,besides cpu,memory,vga and others?

Asrock Oc Formula has ca good cpu vrm and that's about it.Stop pretending its a great memory clocking card because it isn't.
