Well, we brought you two of the higher speed kits in the past. Neither of them did well in testing due to their astronomical prices.

With the G.Skill TridentX kit we're looking at today, now we've gone to the other extreme, with a kit rated at DDR3-1600 but with extra tight timings. Let's find out how it performs!

Very nice review as usual Hookie!
I was secretely hoping for someone reviewing this kit and I have to admit than I am very pleased by the results!

Did you try the opposite way for 2600MHz kit ie. lowering frequency and thightening the timings to compare both kits?
Thx anyway

I didn't, but remember they aren't apples to apples, especially with regard to sub-timings. The 2600 kit is 8GB and this one is 16GB.

 

[fornoob]

you're right thx

woulda been amazing ram for sandy era or even FX AMD since they wont do 2400+mhz.

Should be a nice upgrade if I manage to get two kits of these...I don't wanna wear my nice PSC for 24/7 usage

 

[hokiealumnus]

There is a 32GB kit available. No need to try to get two.
