G.Skill Trident triple channel kit - DDR3 @ 2000 MHz in test

[Benji Tshi]

Yes, it is.
1040 8-9-8-24-5-72 is allright for 1.65v (8x32M)

[Stvwndr219]

How big of a difference do the subtimings on RAM actually make? Does anyone have a guide to adjusting these?

[Benji Tshi]

on this kit (i believe it's elida's chips) tRFC is really important, around 15-20Mhz more if you set the best value.

Some CL 8-8-8-21 stability test (Prime on Blend test). Memory voltage still set on 1.66V...






At 2Ghz system boots ok, but crashes after a few prime seconds. However, CL 8-8-8-21 @ 1940Mhz isn't bad.

[Benji Tshi]

8-9-8-24-5-72 1T 1.65v, i can run 8x32M at 1040Mhz.

Nice review Benji Tshi, thanks for posting.

Some CL 7-8-7-21-10-72 1T @ 1.66V stability tests (Linx & Memtest+, stable):

[canna1988]

for sure it's not good as Hypers, but i believe for standard overclocker (watercooling for example) it's wonderful.
the best voltage for me is beetwin 1.55 and 1.65. What's about yours canna ?

also for me the best voltage is between 1.55 and 1.65....

with higher voltage i improve the freqeuncy, but not so much... so i think that2000 cas 8 with 1,59 is very good

is normal thif a person want see 2000 cas 7 or push the voltage to 1,71 or buy the perfect storm... but with an higher price.....

i am very happy to this memory

[canna1988]

nice run mk dir very great timing!!!!

vqpi?

P.S nice review Benji

[Benji Tshi]

Ypep, thanks to both of you.
When using tRFC 60, clocks are lowering too much, this timing is really important on theses chips -> another point which means that it's elpida, from my point of view.

Now, i'm just waiting for same prices kits from other brands, maybe good surprises as this kit.

The chip on trident is selected elpida BBSE....

Are very good in cas 9, because they are very stable and have a good signal to return on the IMC. This chip with good i7 are stable with low VTT in many mainbaord

the only recommendation, with all the chips Elpida low volt, don't give more 1.7 volt modules in daily, if you do not want to kill them in short time.....

Elpida, i told them for a long time. Thanks for sharing bro

[hiwa]

They are Elpida BBSE ICs

[Biker]

Thanks for confirmation as to what was hiding under those chunky heatspreaders, guys....

Great thread, great review and cool clocks coming in

Can't wait to get a decent i7 board and have a play with my set

[Benji Tshi]

Thanks for the pic Hiwa, my chips had only a lot of numbers and letters, nothing i'm able to understand

160$ Sticks do 2000 7-8-7-21 1.65



last kits from MemoryC goes better?

Wow!
Thanks for the info as always Hiwa.
Very nice results.
I just bought a set from Taiwan 2 days back.
Haven't been benching for awhile though. :p

hey man
what's up?

ye you got it,this is the best choose for daily use and some serius benchmark with high ram freq

Hey, Yea, I'm good
Just been alittle busy these 2 mths.
Haven't logged in for awhile.(Especially OCX... oh no...) :p
o0oh... I missed benching alot...

Nice rams I must say.
I did a max validation on my kit.
9-9-9-24 @ 1.65v tRFC 72, tRRD 5


http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=583607


Mine do nice @ 8-8-8-24 @ 1.65v too.
Somehow, my kit don't really like tRAS anything less than 24.:p
Hehe...

nice.. kind of wondered where you went - miss your memory adventures too

Hey George!
Thanks.
How have u been?
Yeah, I missed all the benching.
Time to find time and get back into benching.
(I missed super pi.)

Thanks for te pick. However, seems like the Trident with Elpida are the few, most of if looks like this:



Obviously, configs like 2Ghz CL7 @ 1.66V are impossible in this case.

[hiwa]

No_Name chip, But still 900 cl7 it's not bad
i was lucky ..

[mk_dir]

Indeed that's not my kit. I suspect that mine are Elpida chips, because I can do 950Mhz CL7 stable. Other Trident kits I check can`t even run 1.9-2Ghz on CL8 @ 1.65V.
As you well said, it`s a lucky question, with this kit you can get nice Elpida chips or not....
