Gskill Trident F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD Prelim Testing

[eva2000]

Received a new triple channel memory kit from folks at Gskill - 6GB Gskill Trident F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD. The Gskill Trident F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD is supposedly using Elpida BBSE memory ICs, while not as capable as Elpida Hyper 50mm ICs for >DDR3-2000Mhz 7-8-7-x speeds, they still hold their own for looser timings. I'll post my preliminary results here in preparation for a larger triple channel memory kit comparison review in the works :)

First hour using this kit and managed an overclock on these for 8x 32M Pi @DDR3-2124Mhz 9-9-9-24 1T at 1.72v. Asus P6T6 WS Revolution bios sets latencies pretty tight so good pi performance even for Win7 OS :)

Both 8x 32M Pi and single 32M Pi runs done in same windows session.

Shows promise, so now to let this memory kit get to know my Xeon W3540 + Asus P6T6 WS Revolution pairing :)

I just got that same ram, STUFF ROCKS!!!:burn:

[MadMan007]

while not as capable as Elpida Hyper 50mm ICs for >DDR3-2000Mhz 7-8-7-x speeds

Aren't those the ICs that died a lot and modules using them were recalled? If so I don't see the use in comparing them since most users by RAM to actually use in their daily rig too not *just* for messing around with to oc.

INDEED! They rock :)

Elpida Hyper was temporarily recalled for Corsair at least until they identified the bad batches, then they relaunched new Dominator GT with good Elpida Hyper http://i4memory.com/wp/article/731 which from reports is rock solid. So if you need Elpida Hyper, best to get Corsair Dominator GT with new sku product codes.

But not definite word from other brands as to Elpida Hyper bad batch identify/removal though.

IC...er...I see :D

Max memory clocks @9-10-9-24 1T at 1.76v

Folks are reporting higher head room mhz with 9-10-9-x timings for Elpida BBSE, and I can confirm that is correct. With 9-9-9-24 this trident kit maxing out 32M around DDR3-2124mhz with ceiling of semi-stability around 2160mhz. With 9-10-9-24 timings same trident kit pushed 32M pi @DDR3=2220mhz and managed validation @DDR3-2281Mhz all at 1.76v vdimm and 1.65v QPI/DRAM uncore volts.
