- Patriot Viper III 16/32GB 2400 C10 Black Mamba and Venom Red review -> http://www.funkykit.com/reviews/mem...-cl10-black-mamba-and-venom-red-memory-review
( both in the same review including 32GB tests as both kits are exactly the same besides different heatsink color )

Right now testing:
- G.Skill RipjawsZ 16GB ( 4x4GB ) 2133 9-11-10-28
- Kingston HyperX Special Na'Vi Edition ( 2x4GB ) 1600 9-9-9-27
 
Hokie used his magical powers and moved this thread ... thanks :thup:
 
Here's what I've got so far from the TridentX 2400 CL10, Woomack. Tried a lot of different speeds on this , 2600 would work but kind of unstable at stock timings. The lower end just couldn't seem to manage enough bandwidth. But I got it down to 9-11-11-26 1T @2435 and 1.85v and tighter sub timings, I still need more time to play with it but this is going to be about as good as I can squeeze out of it.

It's quite high voltage for 2400 but I assume it's only for some benchmarks. This memory is sometimes working at 2400+ CL9 but I didn't have much luck to these kits and most of them needed CL10 above 2400. My current TridentX 2400 CL10 is not booting at 2400+ CL9 even at 1.85V+ but is easily running @2600-2666 10-12-12 ~1.75V.
To make higher clocks you have to bump CPU-NB voltage. On my FX8120/8320 I was pushing CPU-NB till it was losing stability. I had some voltage wall and board was freezing when it was too high. It was something about 1.5V, I don't remember exactly. Of course I'm not recommending so high voltage ;)

I was looking for a frequency that I could balance the NB and ram for the best throughput for benches. My NB was almost up to 2900 and at 1.4875v. Like I said I still need time to play with this stuff but so far I don't see much difference in AIDA64 vs my snipers. So I have to assume that I've reached my limit on the IMC's ability to process any more info. I also think the high frequency NB was possibly taking away from performance as well, might need more volts or just doesn't run well that high ??
I still need to work on a lower frequency set of timings so far I've had my best luck around 2-2100 with CL8, it was a very busy weekend for me so didn't have a lot of play time.
 
Low Frequency Tight timings out the box - good for some?

G.Skill TridentX F3-1600C7D-16GTX (2 x 8GB sticks)

Don't laugh. I know 1,600MHz is ridiculously slow - especially here!

But this high quality mem. has it's advantages.

Out the box CL7-8-8-24 @ 1.5v

There is excellent potential for significant tweaking of course.:D

Running it at 1866 or 2000 with smallish timing adjustments and an extra 0.05v is perfectly viable.

I doubt they sold many of these kits due to the low MHz, but I'm really happy with it. Used to OC it, but put it back to 1.5v cl7.

My other rigs have 8GB, but frequency is tweaked approx 2000MHz range.

Can't say I've noticed any difference, and the Trident wins the old MaxMemm benchmark. (Its on a z77 AsRock Formula OC with i5 3570 4.6GHz OC plus GTX 770 windforce 3 OC)

I don't remember what was in these lower clocked TridentX but looks like Samsung. My RipjawsZ 2133 9-11-10 1.65V ( Samsung HCK0 ) can make:
1600 7-8-8 ~1.5V
1866 8-9-9 ~1.5V
2133 9-10-10 ~1.5V
2400 10-12-12 ~1.5V

thanks :)
btw. I've received 2x8GB TridentX 1866 8-9-9 1.60V and new motherboard is on the way so you can expect 1-2 memory tests soon :)
