FEATURED G.Skill AEGIS 2x4GB DDR3-1600 CL11 - F3-1600C11D-8GISL

Yesterday I had in my hands G.Skill AEGIS 8GB DDR3-1600 C11 1.35V memory kit and I couldn't leave it without tests.
In this thread I wish to present what can you expect from this cheaper G.Skill series what of course includes overclocking tests.

G.Skill AEGIS has been packed in usual plastic blister and inside, besides memory we can find sticker with G.Skill logo.



Inside there are two single-sided 4GB sticks without heatsinks. What we see on the memory are actually stickers.



Memory has been manufactured in December 2013.
Memory chips have been rebranded but part of serial number suggests it can be Nanya or Micron.



G.Skill AEGIS has no XMP profile. Standard SPD profile is setting memory to 1600 11-11-11-28 and on my test board also Command Rate 1N. Voltage is also working like it should using auto settings so 1.35V.

SPD/Auto settings are below

Overclocking results

I was testing G.Skill AEGIS mainly at 1.5V but in some cases I was trying up to 1.75V. 1.35V won't let to set much higher clock or much tighter timings while 1.50V is still low but let to play some more with timings or higher clock.

1600 8-9-9-24 1N 1.50V
1600 9-9-9/9-10-10 couldn't run at 1.35V




1866 9-10-10-27 1N 1.50V
9-10-10 was tightest at voltage up to 1.65V




2133 11-11-11-27 1N 1.50V
10-11-11-27 was crashing in HyperPi up to 1.65V and I didn't test higher at this clock




2400 11-13-13-32 1N 1.65V
11-12-12 is booting but can't pass HyperPi 32M




2600 12-13-13-32 1N 1.75V
CL11 is booting without issues but is not passing HyperPi 32M



Probably I could set lower voltage for 2600 but I had limited time for tests.
