GSkill DDR3 2000 CL6-9-6-24 1.65V (F3-16000CL6D-4GBPIS)




Seldom to play high frequency RAM Kit, just received a pair of Gskill DDR3 2000 CL6 ram....here is the "OPEN BOX"

The BOX


Comes with a dual fan with the Kit


Some kind of protection to minimise damage during shipping:


With black in color heatsink and some fins to enhance heat spreading, BTW, it is not HOT when running


The Specification: DDR3 2000 CL6-9-6-24 1.65V


The manual:



Blue light, seems so nice



Test Platform:
CPU: Intel i7 870 @ 200X20
MB: Gigabyte P55A-UD3R
RAM; Gskill F3-16000CL6D-4GBPIS
SSD: Adata S599 256G
Display Card: Inno3D GTS450
PSU: Enermax Galaxy 850W

Burning with the original specification seems very boring, I directly jump to play with DDR3 2400 CL8 Memtest, directly boot into windows @ DDR3 2400 CL8 without any problem

Except CL8-11-8 & 1T, other I set it to AUTO in BIOS, fine tune will be needed if you want to have higher bandwidth, in my test, I want to max-out the freq. first

Memtest @ DDR3 2400 CL8-11-8-31-134-1T @1.68V Memtest 300% Passed, Everest Bandwidth = 20105MB/s


Memtest @ DDR3 2400 CL8-11-8-31-134-1T @ 1.68V 1000% Passed


Running 3D without problem, simple test by 3DVantage:


And then, directly boot into windows ~ DDR3 2500 @ 1.74V and push to highest freq. @ CL8-11-8, 1T

Everest Bandwidth = 21475 MB/s


The Validation @ DDR3 2568 CL8-11-8-31:


Comparsion of DDR CL6-9-6-24-72-1T VS CL8-11-8-31-134-1T for SPI 32M performance

DDR3 2000 CL6-9-6-24-72-1T, 9m16.500s


DDR3 2400 CL8-11-8-31-134-1T, 9m15.984


Obviously, with very loose Trfc & TRas, DDR3 2400 CL8-11-8-31-134 still lead DDR3 2000 CL6-9-6-24.

After no stock of Hyper Chips Ram, seems PSC chips is worth to play as the better price and durability unless you are going for extreme benchmarking.

I can't remember I lost how many 3-channel Hyper Ram, still have 2 sets in RMA, but told me no more Hyper for replacement

Price in Hong Kong is very nice, just HK$1400 ~ US$180
6GB kit still has no stock, once I got it I will test it in X58. Thanks for reading!
