GeIL DDR2 EVO ONE 2x2GB DDR800 CAS4 - Review

[SLi_dog]

Hi all,
I've managed to get a set of the new GeIL Black Dragon EVO ONE and they've showing some decent headroom for a 4GB kit.

These are just preliminary results with a more detailed review to follow.

Using a Gigabyte P35 DS3R
BIOS F6a
Windows XP 32-bit (I'm working on getting a 64-bit OS)


445Mhz 4-4-3-11 2.0v




563Mhz 5-6-5-16 2.0v

[Spyrus]

What about 4-4-4-x and 5-5-5-x can you test?

[SLi_dog]

What about 4-4-4-x and 5-5-5-x can you test?

I mainly focus on the primary CAS value then tighten up the secondary timings later on.

4-4-4 & 5-5-5 should be achievable at slightly lower speeds than the values above.

[jarman]

what about with a lil more voltage ??

[Spyrus]

Ok please do post also cpu-z spd reading

[zfactor]

anywhere in us to find these yet?? im interested..

[Spyrus]

These should not be powerchips. elpida maybe?

[doom_st]

i got these too ...
@ 564 5-5-5-18 2.0v
clock twister strong
transaction booster enable 0

1.5h prime blend so far on vista x64

[Spyrus]

Great result man keep us posting.

[Spyrus]

Specs are 5-5-5-15@1.8V for 800 MHz but i pushed them to 1054@5-5-5-15@2.1V

[ncsa]

These are great looking modules and functional too



DDR 907 4-3-3-8 2T 2.2v

They will do around 900 4-3-3-8 1T which has a good BW jump.

[Spyrus]

I hope 4-3-3-x is possible on P35/X38 too...

[Spyrus]

Scaling up to 577@2.3Vdimm

[zfactor]

so are these the 800's or the 1066's?? if they are the 800's wow..

[Spyrus]

All of these are the 800 ones.
Previous result was with the CL5 ones and the latest as the other guys
with CL4.

[Kunaak]

strange.

my friend has 8 gigs of the stuff, but his is rated for 1.9 volts, and doesnt get much more then 900 very easily, no matter the cas or voltage.

[Spyrus]

Tried also with 1.88vdimm lowest possible on formula stable at 545@5-5-4-13.
Maybe your friend's is older batch. This is rated CL4@2.0V

[binormalkilla]

Very impressive....I'm thinking about buying these. If these are the same chips as the 1066 Evo Ones then they should be able to take 2.3V NP.....

[zfactor]

a freind just got a set of these and his are rated for 1.9 on the sticks not 2.0.. i wonder if they have changed them.. even the web site says 1.8 cl4 and 1.9-2.0 cl5..

Are those the CL4 or CL5 DDR2-800? From what GeIL's says the ratings are:

and the 1066 (may use the same chips, so voltage should be safe....for sure on air)

Someone should really take the heatspreaders off these to see what the chips are

[zfactor]

well they are just black dragons with heat spreaders so what chips do they use?

and sorry i was backwards with the cl5 and cl4 volt wise his were the newegg ones which say cl4 on the web page on newegg GE24GB800C4DC

[zfactor]

so which is supposed to be better the esoteria or the evo one?

[saaya]

strange.

my friend has 8 gigs of the stuff, but his is rated for 1.9 volts, and doesnt get much more then 900 very easily, no matter the cas or voltage.

hmmm maybe there are different revisions of it with different chips...

[By0T0xN]

well they are just black dragons with heat spreaders so what chips do they use?

Looks like they are Elpida.

EDIT; Looks like all the Black Dragon's use Elpida, PC2 8500's as well. And it also seems they will take some voltage. The 8500's are rated @ 2.3v C5.

[Spyrus]

This is elpida


And this is powerchip



So according to Dragon picture the Dragon ones are Elpida.
But these we are not sure for now, maybe if i got off the heatspreaders.
I think powerchips though because they have exact same behaviour (tighten up to 5-5-4-13 like Redline)
but tRFC can be tighten more though.
They correspond to voltages though every 0.1volt gives them 10MHz
from 1.9 to 2.2
