Gskill trident + ripjaws testing on AMD

[Don_Dan]

Chew* how well do these sticks fare with tweaking? I know there is no way they can run stock on AMD at this time, but do you think these will do well with tight timings, or are there cheaper/better options for AMD?

Cheaper and better options are most of the time two different things!


Thanks for the tests chew*! Just to get that right, Tridents are BBSE, Ripjaws are PSC, correct?

G.Skill has some serious problems with quality control on their Ripjaw kits it seems, I have read about so many DOA kits here and in some German forums...

Fine

Let me rephrase, what would Chew* recommend as benching sticks I can buy? The tricky part is I know all good ICs etc. but I really have no good computerstore near me where I can handpick a few good modules... So basically I am forced to buy expensive RAM with heatspreaders I suppose my budget is around $100-ish ofcourse cheaper is always better if possible, and I'd prefer ordering inside of EU or this shop: http://www.memoryc.com/

If you want cheap benching sticks look for these......bet money they are d9 gts....your not going to find 2x2g 1800 6-6-6 in your budget though.

Little update......

Tossed the tridents in my ASUS boots 1 stick.....refuse to boot with 2.....post code d5......played with timings....etc etc no luck. Will swap out with the rest of my asus boards to see if I can get one to boot.....

Might add all my asus boards are currently pending RMA.....etc they all have issues to start with.

Thanks Are those guaranteed D9GTS? As said before there is no way I can go and handpick sticks

At 1.9 specced voltage they can't be much else than GTS.
FYI the 2000 kits were specced 9-9-9 2000 1.9v.....
