G.SKILL TridentX 2400MHz modular - great and cheap $99

[Darknight]

Today I bought a 2x4GB kit with code xxxx1500xxx

chips HCH9

I have a asrock fatal1ty Z77 but I can not any overclock
I've tried it in 2600 with 11-13-13-35 1.8V and nothing.

I picked up a kit that will be very bad or it me missing something.

Double-sided or single-sided?

[Darknight]

Double-sided

[Shiranui Gen-An]

That's odd, they should be able to do 2600 C11 easily. VCCIO? VCCSA?

[Darknight]

i also thought so

Vtt - I've been to 1.3V
VcSSa - 1.2V
and yet nothing

problem is the bios?
already tested several. and everything is equal

gives a debug error code 23 so step up from 2400

What's your production date code?

Code 23 means memcontroller can't take it.

I remember the original post had these as double-sided Hynix; Corsair has a pretty cheap 4x4GB kit with the same speed/timings as these without the IC lottery: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820233352

after long time some few benchmarks with this cheap 2400 MHz kit


So, superpi 1M 2800 MHz :-)



Hyperpi stable settings (aircooled CPU+RAM stock), vdram 1.7V

Hey mate,they run pretty good.Are they capable of 2600 10-12-12 S-pi 32M? Or 2400 9-11-11?If so they do have some good value.

[Leeghoofd]

You need Samsungs for that, Flankers kit seems pretty Hynix too me.... If they react the same as the Kingston Predators 2400Mhz kit, then 2600MHz is where it all tends to stop for 32M or HCI Memtest stability.

Issue with all these kits is that tend to use diferent ICs from time to time. Making buying these via an online shop more of a wild gamble... just run these 1T at 11-13-11 and enjoy the best price/performance...

[FlanK3r]

yes, looks for Hynix,doublesided. Now I have again AMD nehcntable system,a fter I can try it, if it run capable 2600 superpi (I think, 11-13-13 is possible)

[Zeus]

What serial number Flank3r? The serial gives away the chips used if you're smart enough to decipher their serails nowadays.

[FlanK3r]

What do you think Zeus?


I think, its Hynix

[Zeus]

No mate, xxxx1500xxxxxx is Samsung. Try harder!

[Reefa_Madness]

What's really confusing / annoying about the new numbering scheme that GSkill is using is that even if you have the 5th thru 8th digits info (1500), you can still get single-sided (like I did), or double-sided like these (which are better). Those Trident X DDR3-2400 modules, in particular, certainly are a gamble these days.

[FlanK3r]

Im confused, because If I look at chips from side view, this is not 100% Samsung...My first kit was single sided Samsung, this "new" one has different contacts from side view and is it doublesided. WTF? Is there at XS some memory chips quide?

[Alex-Ro]

gskill is obviously playing mind tricks with us...

[Darknight]

mine xxxx1500xx is samsung HCH9

[Dumo]

Most samsung HCH9 19200 is @ 10-12-12 or 9-11-11

[Shiranui Gen-An]

Most samsung HCH9 19200 is @ 10-12-12 or 9-11-11

Also could be 10-11-11 or 11-11-11.

Open them and show us the inside

[tbone8ty]

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...Desktop-Memory

G.SKILL Trident X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C10D-8GTX

havent tested yet

but i can confirm they are single sided and serial xxxx15000xxxxx

so definitely samsung

[Shiranui Gen-An]

Yeah, most of us got single-sided Samsung xxxx1500 sticks but it seems a few double-sided Samsung kits with the same serial pop up every now and then.

[Shiranui Gen-An]

Open them and show us the inside

Don't they all look like this?
