One more test today and it's also G.Skill TridentX. This time something higher clocked - 2933 C12.
It's also memory which is available on the market for longer time. Probably memory chips in new kits under the same product number are different now but I still wish to add couple of tests of my memory.

The main difference between this and most other G.Skill kits is that 2933 memory has one XMP profile. All who are closer to G.Skill memory or at least checked couple of my earlier tests, know that G.Skill is usually programming two almost the same XMP profiles for compatibility purposes.

2933 kit is equipped with the same well known TridentX heatsinks as any other TridentX memory.

All tests were performed on the i7 4790K CPU and ASUS Maximus VII Gene motherboard with the latest BIOS/UEFI.

SPD settings with test results are below:

I bet you were expecting better results. However I had some weird issues running this memory on ASUS Maximus VII Gene. At lower clocks like 2666/2800 board was forcing Command Rate 3T even though there is no such setting available to adjust manually ( and I tried auto, 1T and 2T ). As you see on the screenshots, at 3000 it was working with 2T without issues. Also 2933 was working at 1T or 2T.
One more thing that I couldn't pass was stability at 125MHz strap. Memory was working only at really relaxed timings what is good only for maximum clock validation ( like this 3400+ result ). Anything above 3000 had problems with stability.
It's possible that I add some results on other motherboard in some time ( for now Gigabyte Z97X-SOC Force is in RMA ).
