Figuring out G.Skill's SNs

[stunned_guy]

Thanks for explanation

[Don_Dan]

You're welcome!

Absolutely unbelievable...
When I opened the package I thought "No f**king way!!!"...1250 is last week and the package just came (Monday)!

Thank you for the Christmas present G.Skill!

Hey beep what's that? An Rma replacement?
Serial 1200 psc, what?

Yeah, RMA for 2x2GB PIS 2133 CL7 (one stick dead, only SPD worked), I was expecting Samsung stuff!!!
I can't believe it, they gave me an SKU upgrade and pulled some kind of magic!

EDIT:
Opened the box and a Turbulence II Fan was included too, plus G.Skill sticker. I had only sent them bare modules...

PCB on the sticks is different than normal. "K0-8117"

[Ivanlabrie]

Incredible man!
All of my sticks are g.skill and I guess they'll remain that way xD
I guess you haven't pulled the heatsinks off yet, right? I'm kinda curious about the ics...
Gonna ask to see if I can get some of those, wish me luck!

[stasio]

Hmm,
I send them for RMA F3-17600CL8D-4GBPS.....last month
and they send me back F3-17000CL9D-8GBXM (xxxx1500).
At least instead of 2x2GB,I have one more 2x4GB now.

Well obviously PSC, I'm not going to pull the HS off these, I can't afford to screw them up...

I know, it's crazy!

I did ask to avoid high density modules Hynix/Samsung if at all possible though, (I told them I'd take any PSC or BBSE in the building) but that was in the middle of August with an expired RMA number (I never mailed the sticks in time) that was not exactly associated to this last one outside of the same email address.

[Ivanlabrie]

Interesting...I'll give that a shot.

Nice!

As I said in the team's thread, I have a Ripjaws X kit with a production date of April/May 2012, can't recall the exact week right now. I think they have a small stock of kits reserved for RMA and they print out the labels when they send out the kits.

Can you post a pic of the sticks?
Do you have green or black PCB? If there is K0-8117 on your sticks there should be an encircled HJ somewhere too...
My guess is green 8-layer PCB from HJ like on my kit.

Yeah. I can confirm it is 8 layers, one side I can see "12" and the other "78"

Looks like this, didn't look at date. Away from home right now.

Exactly like my kit, it's probably even from the same batch of sticks. I'm wondering why G.Skill is using this PCB instead of the usual Brainpower one...

Any info on this 3X2GB (2009) Trident 2000 kit?

Thanks.

[stunned_guy]

9210660 is your dimm, I have here 9250640

[Zeus]

Found a new one:



It's the Trident-X 2400 C10 sold here for way too much money: http://dx.com/p/g-skill-tridentx-4gb...d-2-pcs-174329

G.Skill must be peeing theirselfs laughing when reading this.

eighth symbol in the SN is not always "0", I had kits with "G" and currently have a kit with "L" but these don't seem to be special or different in any way ... so the SN-IC indicators might actually be symbols 5-7 rather than 5-8

Thanks.

I think Elpida BDSE or similar......really crappy :down:

[TaPaKaH]

CoolBits, the earliest BDxx ICs I have ever seen were week 927 so most likely yours are BBSE, just not too good ones.
BBSE vary a lot in quality: there is stuff that won't do 1066 9-9-9 at 1.65V, there is stuff that will do 1200 7-10-7 at 1.7V.

Nope, sorry Dumo, I haven't seen many of the 0660 kits yet.

Heh, your account has been unbanned... Welcome back!

Thanks for posting, I haven't seen any kit where the eigth digit isn't "0" yet. Any idea what these symbols could mean?

I really doubt any manufacturer binned BDSE for 1000MHz tRCD 9, I think you just found a pretty bad BBSE kit. Sorry man!

[Fr3ak]

And here is my contribution to this thread:

Dear MemMaster Daniel, please tell me what could be under the hood of these:



Are they any good?

[websmile]

2000 c9 trident quad kit, Elpida BBSE, usually higher quality but these are later samples - make tests for 2133 7-9-7-21 and then go higher, very good samples do 1200 8-10-7-22 at below 1,75v and can boot and run 1300 8-11-7-22 with hard subs - good luck on that

Edit lol, I misread the label, if these are 2x4gb and not 4x2gb, these will most likely be bcse, going up on max of 2133 9-9-9 and 2400 10-10-10 at high voltage - sorry :p

[TaPaKaH]

what BBSE? these are 4Gb modules

anyway, the only Elpida 2Gbit ICs I know that are capable of such specs are BCSE .. which aren't something interesting for benchers.

Thanks for the nice title!

As I said, I'm not sure what they are, they could be the same chips that were used on this kit, maybe the first 2Gb Chips by Elpida ( EDJ2108BASE?! ). Can you test your kit and compare the results?

Nope, it's 4GBx2 not 2GBx4!

[websmile]

hmm, Dan, as usually you failed on F5 and haven?t noticed the two updates done before your post

[hiwa]

Bought 2 x 6gb trident 2000 9-9-9-27 one 1.65 and one 1.6 And one 6gb pis 2000 6-9-6 (psc 100% )will be here next week hope the tridents are good...
