AMD Phenom II X6 1055T can run G.Skill DDR3-2000 CL7-9-7 @ ASUS CROSSHAIR IV FORMULA

[OCman XPC]

Hello Everyone :
It is milestone for AMD Phenom II X6 running RAM on 2000MHz using G.Skill DDR3-2000 CL7-9-7-24 , 1.65V . also it is important that ASUS CROSSHAIR IV FORMULA achive the milestone of AMD Six Core CPU running RAM on 2000MHz .

First view : Quite eye-catching color ASUS CROSSHAIR IV FORMULA of the latest ROG motherboard series debut . Using platinum-type capacitor with elegant heat pipe with various ASUS exclusive features.


Heat Pipe Close-up 1


Heat Pipe Close-up 2


The delicate ROG LOGO on South Bridge heat sink


Quick overclocking key, hardware key to Core unlock , POWER key and RESET button


Back Panel I/O Ports


Marvell Gb network chip


NEC USB 3.0 chip


Rapid determination Q-LED for easier debugging problems


Heat pipe fixed way is to use pressure-type screw



Second view : G.Skill DDR3-2000 CL7-9-7-24 1.65V FOR AM3



Really nice stacked wood


It seems rather obvious attempt of G.Skill that the color is very match ASUS ROG MB .


Zoom in

cool know when these rams will be available to purchase? or prices?

[namegt]

Great memory, clock and timing

[mav2000]

Awesome...but still not available in retail.

[crazydiamond]

have you done any testing with cas6, how high can you clock it with something like 6-7-6 timings? would also be interested to compare results w/ the 7-9-7 2000 settings

[richierich]

love the quick review with pictures

[Ronaldinho_07]

the highest memory clock which you can get ???

[G.Foyle]

Nice frequency, but NB @ 2000 =

[[XC] Oj101]

Can we tighten up that tRCD a bit? That's a bit of a sore point for AMD, the RAM looks more like it was designed with P55 in mind than 890FX. +1 for 6-7-6 testing though.

This time is to verfiy RAM DDR3 performance @ AMD platform , so setting NB freq. just @ 2000MHz .
Increasing NB freq. can enhance overall performance , nowadays , I have business trip , waiting I come back. Thank your for your opinion .

OCman.

He has a very valid point. the lower you drop the NB the higher you can clock ram.....Even on a stock cooler when i do reviews I at least try to push to 2500 NB. Reason being ram may not pass at same speeds it passed at 2000NB.

Daft Question time . . .

I'm running 1333Mhz @ 7-7-7-24, does 2000Mhz @ 7-9-7 timings improve fps performance in games as well as other software? with 890FX?

I did check with a 790FX using 2000Mhz 9-9-9-24 OCZ Blade sticks a year ago at various timings but all results didn't make even 1fps difference only fractions.

[imamage]

Nice RAM pair you got there
8GB @ DDR3-2000

[i found nemo]

why does it say 12 cpus? did i miss something?

edit- okay i see why. good thinking

Hyper PI when running 6 cores, RAM maximum load is only about 3GB, to a more stringent test set Hyper PI when running 12 cores, RAM maximum load of about 5.6GB( Currently set RAM-DDR3-2000 CL7 total size 8GB)

[[XC] Oj101]

Or..... Memtest / Everest stability test?

[PatRaceTin]

does ddr2000 require

thuban+800 chipset ???

[BeepBeep2]

800 chipset, but more like Gigabyte UD7 or CH4Formula. It's been done on 965's and 555's but only on those boards. I think the ASUS 890GX might be able to clock that high also.

[FlanK3r]

mainstream ASUS Evo too

[BeepBeep2]

mainstream ASUS Evo too

Yep.

I'm RMA'ing my Gigabyte board due to some problems I'm having.

This bouad has a 940 Mhz wall, however it's a Revision 1.0 board. Rev 2 is already out. If I get a Rev. 2 board back I'll be sure to test ram clocks.

[ChrisB17]

I want these when do they come out? They look fantastic paired with the Crosshair board.

Currently, I found that using AMD Phenom II x 4 965 can not run DDR3 2000Mhz @ dual channel , Only using AMD Phenom II x 6 1055T can run DDR3 2000Mhz @ dual channel .

It seems that the IMC of AMD Phenom II X6 is better than Phenom II X4 .

how about phenom II x6 with 790FX chipset??? would it be able to run DDR2000 ?

[Smartidiot89]

2000MHz on 4 sticks, that just great. Does it pass memtest?

Pass MemTest of runing 100%
