My last test was based on higher clocks so today something lower clocked but based on 8GB modules - G.Skill TridentX 1866 8-9-9 1.60V.
All know how TridentX look like but here is one photo:
TridentX is probably the only memory series on the market where we still can expect Samsung memory. Also 16GB kit tested today is based on higher density Samsung IC. I didn't check what exactly is inside but looking at SPD profile and some other things it looks like HCH9.
No matter what we see under the heatsink, let's focus on test results as it's most important.
As all G.Skill memory also here we can find two nearly the same XMP profiles. Little differences can be helpful if one of the profiles for some reason won't be stable and then we can use second one. So far I haven't had any issues with any of G.Skill profiles but of course no one can guarantee compatibility with every available motherboard on the market.
Below we can see performance at stock settings XMP #1. Since both profiles give about the same performance then I won't add second screenshot.
