G.Skill TridentX F3-2666C11D-8GTXD DDR3-2666 Preview

The new HyperX Predator 2666 kit looks like a good alternative to the TridentX for people looking for high-binned double-sided sticks with Samsung ICs: http://www.legitreviews.com/article/2016/1/

Kingston sent a set of these to us. I don't have time to properly test them, so they're headed to another of our reviewers. I did take some photos and test them on the R.S.T. Pro 3 before sending them off and they're great so far. XMP + 1.2VCCIO and happily stable for five passes on the RST. Good looking sticks too.

yea these new kingston sticks are double sided hynix from what I saw, i have the KHX24C11, but they OC like crap and their XMP timings are very loose.

But perhaps the kit you have will OC like the tridentX b/c my 2400C11 dont.

I wonder if these new Kingston 26C11 kit are also using CFR... or perhaps maybe Samsung? I'll look forward to seeing more test results.

[hokiealumnus]

Woomack said they were Samsung. Not sure where he got it, but he usually knows.

[gungstar]

as i see here ic code is 16, it's not hynix(32), micron(08), elpida(02).

[sin0822]

so perhaps it is samsung on the 26C11, but shouldn't' samsung be cas 10?

My 24C11 are code 32.

Reviewer prolly unware of some of the hickups with his test setup :p

Apparently it's memory month. No sooner did I get the Kingston kit assigned to EarthDog, a 2400 CL10 Adata kit is scheduled to show up this week. It's a fun summer to be a reviewer that likes torturing memory!

C11 is most likely Hynix doesn't make sense to use Samsung for C11

[Shiranui Gen-An]

Kingston tends to be a lot more conservative with timings on its high end kits. For instance, it's 2400 C11 with CFR are rated 11-13-13, but can probably run tighter like the other CFR-based kits on the market (11-12-12, 10-12-12).

[Leeghoofd]

I can run 2600 C11-14-13-30 1T 1.71Vdimm with the 2400C11 kit, tighter they don't like at all...

How tight will they run at 2400? tRCD can't run less than 13?

[Dumo]

32m @ 3000, finally..

32m @ 3000, finally..

Verry nice result Dumo !

@ cold or Air ?

[Dumo]

Thanks splmann.

Air on mem and ss cpu

[splmann]

Any mem oc diffrences from the extrem board , MVF , MVG ?

[Dumo]

1.92+ vmem helps a lot on M5E/F to go an xtra mhz up.

[Don_Dan]

32m @ 3000, finally..

Congrats Dumo!

[owikh84]

32m @ 3000, finally..

finally 32m broken with 3k... nice clock Dumo!

[emertX]

so...when I red right...samsung under 2600 and hynix under 2666?
Which are your favourites?
I don't really know, what to choose! I'd like to run 2666 CL 10. I think Samsung might be better therefore, right?

[Shiranui Gen-An]

Cripes, Kingston must be binning those HyperX Predator 2666 ICs super loose, I have some crappy low bin Patriot Viper 2133C9 CFR sticks than can do 2666 11-14-14!

32m @ 3000, finally..

congrats Dumo !!!

I received this kit from Kingston this morning. I was able to boot into Windows at 2666 no problem using SPD along with VCCSA/VCCIO set to auto but MemTweakIt was showing a pretty low effiency @2666 (default) so I decided to first test 2600C10. Looking at the ic "in profile markings" under the heat spreader kind of makes think Samsung but it is still hard to tell/confirm. The kit did "bluescreen" when I tried to load Windows with these same settings @10-12-11-28-2T. Note: I was getting SuperPi errors with stock Vdimm @1.65v but a bump to 1.655v and I was able to complete 32M.

Edit: My kit also has Code 16... http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...=1#post5130957 "gunstar's" post #205

[hokiealumnus]

Looks like a good kit PolRoger. EarthDog reviewed the Kingston kit. Either the sticks or his IMC keeled over at DDR3-2800. I think he's sending the to me to confirm. Here's his review though: http://www.overclockers.com/kingston...redator-review

[Kentaro]

Thanks for the nice results. I'm thinking getting a 2666 kit. So most of them can do 2800 32M stable easily with TRCD 14?
