Cheers!! The King of DDRI Samsung TCCD-GSkill FF with heatsink

[windwithme]

Recently, 1GB rises sharply, it means great capacity generation is coming?!
As my experience, for general system, 51MBX2 are enough.
Only some heavy 3D Games need more than 1GB memory space.

Stop talking\1 Lets see what different with previous one.
New version with date code 2005/09, with copper sliver-color heatsink.
Someone think the heatsink doesn’t help much, but it really make it be better look!
Attractive packing is also an important selling point.

Use TCCD equally, on a price reduction to about 250~260 dollars





FF official spec : 2.5-3-3-7 (PC4400) / 2.5-4-4-8 (PC4800)




The past OC result
Test configuration
AMD 3000+ Venice 0517
DFI nF4 LanPARTY SLI-D
GSkill 1GBFF
SPARKLE 6200
TOPOWER520W

DDR630 2.5 3-3-6 PI 32M





Even 1GBX2 rising is good news for buyers.
However, WINXP with often open software and files are only occupying 300~400MB memory space.

It is just like BMW325 2500cc.
Many cars’ power is bigger and cheaper, but BMW owns its reputation.

I believe TCCD still has the strength in high frequency, low latency and best memorychips :good:
Performance, Capacity, Price, Chip, Brand – everyone have their own standard to judge their own best C/P products.
I choose TCCD, and you?!

Next Test might be one of the items below :
OCZ 1GBX2 DDR500, the price is around 340USD.


or GSkill 2GBHZ, the price is around 270USD.


or VGA cards?! Except 7800GTX SLI, I got 6800Ultra as well....

[Vincentvega18]

Wow, very nice result. The voltage needed for them is 2.8, from the naked ff it seemed they were picked to run @ low voltage, can they do 2.5-3-3-7 ddr600 @ lower vdimm of is 2.8 their sweet spot?

[|SiLA|]

i love that ddr630 tight timings and finally the new style of gskill with heatsink i wish that price is low here too like that

they're selling the FF over 300 euros

Both 2x1gig sets are based on the same Samsung IC correct? The OCZ is binned for guaranteed PC4000 speed but I'm not sure if its worth the $70 difference. I would like to see a head to head competition showing them both at maximum HTT 1:1 (whatever loose timing for highest speed) with both at about the same CPU clock. Use the GTX (stock speed) and the 3Dmarks to show the $70 difference. Thanks for your work.

Since you are comparing apples to pears, i'd take it that if the Gskill 2GB 3200 doesn't do 250, we can rma them?

OCZ 2GB DDR500 about 339 USD

GSkill 2GBHS DDR400 about 236 USD

GSkill 2GBHZ DDR500 about 269 USD

GSkill 1GBFF DDR600 about 250 USD

Nice RAM WWM.

[5-Clicks]

ooooooooooooooo ahhhhhhhhhhhh! i really like G.Skill's new GH heatspreaders. that shade of red is just so...so...

[cupra]

that heatsink are so sexy

very nice ram you have there windwithme

[iddqd]

Ugh! That's a heatspreader. They're worse than useless, and they cost $8 a pair.

[Arkangyl]

but iddqd, they looks so pretty....


What if the ram manufacs put a pair of mounting holes in the DIMM PCB so the heatspreaders could be applied with thermal paste and then attached via a retention clip rather than the crappy clips that hold them together now

[gigi77]

ALL GSKILL FF run at 300 2.5-3-3-5 2.8v?

thanks
luigi

[Vincentvega18]

Well they dont bin to that standard. But according to g.skill they will reach ddr600 with any cpu on dfi nf4 @ 2.5-4-4-8 so id say its the best of the bunch, hence a lot will.

no, not all. SPEC is 2.5-4-4-8 1T, with these timings you can hit 310-315MHz. With 2.5-4-3-8 1T, this must be achievable too.

I think 3 of the 5 kits can do 300Mhz 2.5-3-3-6 1T stable at voltage range 2.8 ~ 2.9v.

Seriously, where in Toronto, Canada can I buy G.Skill ram????

This all depends on personal interest..

Nowhere. GSkill is not available in Canada.

Since when did this place become a place to advertise and compare products by a manufacturer?? As much as OCZ promotes their products here, I haven't seen them compare their products directly to another manufacturer. This kind of price/performance comparison should be done by a 3rd party. I don't want this forum to turn into a manufacturer war zone. If you want to promote your product thats fine, show us what you got. But please leave the comparison tests out. That's for other websites/review sites to do.

where in windwithme's profile or sig does it say he is a representative or is in any way affiliated with gskill? anywhere? are there past posts he has made which suggest he is a member of xtremesystems.org _representing_ gskill?

[wfarid]

the ram looks good, performs darn well...

and i thought samsung stopped making tccd chips...

I don't mind this sort of thing personally, in fact I would recommend more people to do this.
As long as no-one is making falsehoods or misleading information, then this is the sort of data I would have loved as a n00b. Although, without the information I know now, I would have easily been hoodwinked.
But coming from guys who don't do anything but benefit our forums, then this is great stuff.

IIRC, 0519 is the last production week for TCCD IC's

Don't jump over that bridge yet... there's still TCC5.

I've seen some TCC5 doing over 300MHz 2,5-3-3-x as well.

[Vincentvega18]

i thought there were some week 0522 tccd around and doing very well.
