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

[Don_Dan]

Very few Samsung kits are going to do 2400 C9 at 1.65v and 1.5v is probably impossible, those are well binned and frankly the only 2400 C9 kits around aside from Corsair's Vengeance and Dominator Platinum kits. I have 4x4GB of the new Trident X C9 sticks on the way.

1.5V is impossible, I saw it too, but looks like the site has been updated and it's 1.65V now, same as on Newegg. Also the same spec as the TeamGroup 2400CL9 kit.

The TeamGroup kit is available for 89€ in Germany, the G.Skill kit has been listed today for ~95€.

With 1.53v at default timings except 1T.

Those are the 2400 C9 kit? If so, would you mind sharing the 5th-8th digits of the S/N (1500 or 2500)?

Also, what voltage does it take to run them at 2400 C9...the default 1.65v?

No its not c9 kit.

I got one of those Kits ... they may run 2400 C9 around 1.62 ... they got Samsung HYK0 on them.

Pushed them up to 2800 C10 with ~ 1.72 vDimm SuperPi 32M stable.



They dont like VDimm above 1.75 ... which is no big suprise ... HYKO specified for max 1.6 by Samsung.

Crazy. I wish I could get my hands on that kit of BFR 2400 C9.

[TaPaKaH]

These 2400C9 BFR were sitting on US ebay for months with BIN having gradually dropped from $300-ish to $179.
I know because I've been practicing self-controlling techniques watching this kit get cheaper and cheaper

I've no idea what these scores are doing in a TridentX thread since 2400 9-11-10 have a thread of their own

I just had to snipe them Sam

Roy and I split that kit, going cold in a bit

@Dumo thanx, same voltage as 8-11-11?

PS Please type my nick same as i registered here at XS - "gungstar" not "Gungstar"

+.01V to 1.87V.

I will do, apologize bout that.

[Leeghoofd]

Got an RMA kit from G.SKILL weird sticks...

2400 C10-11-11-31 perfectly possible at 1.68Vdimm, sadly no CAS9 not even at 1.75Vdimm



Scaling nicely up to 2600MHz C10-12-12-31 1.71Vdimm





But all stability tests fail at 2666MHz no matter the voltages, timings set...

[websmile]

Would be interestig to know what serialnumber these have, four digits after production date, and if these are single or dual sided.

[Alex-Ro]

Pretty sure this is HYK0 low-binned stuff,this behaviour is very similar to samsung low-profle sticks,can s-pi 2400 9-11-11 at 1.8 but no way to stability.

[Leeghoofd]

I'll try to open them and see what's inside... first 1.8Vdimm

[TaPaKaH]

Even very bad OEM D-rev would at least boot 1200 CL9 at 1.75V, so these might be E-rev (aka the "successor") which G.Skill had to eventually start using.

[Leeghoofd]

2400C9 passed at 1.8, tried 2450, failed at loop 8... C9 boots at 1.72, but errors in loop 1

I was watching those, I guess I hoped they'd go below $179

my kit "1500" CL10, with this in asrock OC formula

1.68/1.69V

[Reefa_Madness]

Is your "1500" kit a single, or double-sided? The DS ones were the better clocking ones.

[Leeghoofd]

1.8Vdimm and some tertiary timings set

Double-sided

[Reefa_Madness]

Thanks...and explains a lot.

My "1500" kits were all single-sided.
