Corsair Launches Single Rank Ultra-High-Speed DDR3 DIMMs, DDR3-2625 MHz Capable

[newtekie1]

my point is even at 2976mhz on that 1 stick of ram the bandwidth there is just plain shit,its a bottleneck from hell,i would much rather have 3 sticks @ 2100mhz

When you are going for memory clock speed records, other bottlenecks in the system don't matter though.

i guess the only way this set of memory would be worth it would be as a review sample or acquired in a matter where they didnt cost you anything

Or you make a name for yourself in the OCing world by setting some memory speed records.

Value is in the eye of the beholder. Stop trying to troll everyone into an argument on value.

That's your opinion. Others are of the opinion that they are worth the money.

Definitely has value, because it more or less removes DRAM speeds as a limiting factor in CPU overclocks. So memory OC, and CPU hit-and-run records will benefit big time. Nobody cares if it's a single stick.

People are starting to care corsair took 1 binned stick of single sided elpida to a good speed now why is it every other single stick thread has been flamed but this one is ok? Most high cpu clocks have at least a superpi score which benifits from tight timings and bandwidth something one stick cannot provide. Like I said before corsair has another overpriced module like the other sticks on their site only. There is no reason any and all other manuf can't bin a stick of ram and test it. Now find 3 stick them in trichannel and go for maxxmem. Until then this is a sales gimmick that people like chew* and fugger ill receive. Hell chew* said the 2gb sticks they sell are ov erpriced elpida...

only ppl that will have these or who they sponsor

cuz unless ppl that have money to blow and wanna say look at me i payed out the a$$ for one stick

[TAViX]

LOL. 1GB, single channel. Thanks but no thanks!

I'm waiting for the 12GB DDR3@2400Mhz triple channel to go into mainstream. Than I'll consider to buy one kit....

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Again, these stick are for people breaking world records, that have machines dedicated to this purpose and this purpose only. Do you think LN2 is a "day to day use" thing? Do you really think there are people that sit with their machine 24/7 pooring LN2 in the pot constantly so they can use it to surf the net?

I have to agree with Sneekypeet though, 1GB stick does seem kind of lame.

I never said you had to have an LN2 dripfeed setup - you dont need LN2 to run these chips, you can run them in a normal system but underclocked if they cant handle the high speeds - its got funky heat spreaders. it just doesnt make sense.

Again, your entire comment didn't make sense, that was my point. There is no switching back to a different kit because these aren't meant for day to day use, because the machines they are designed for aren't meant for day to day use. How is that hard to understand?

Oh, and they aren't $300, they are $175.

These are not for normal users, they fit a specific purpose and a specific purpose only. If you can't understand why or what these are supposed to be used for, then they aren't meant for you.

Cool, so not 2900MHz+, keep trying...

went to i4 turns out they are just binned powerchips meaning luck of the draw any ripjaw kit could do this however no one bins single channel like this except for corsair as a PR stunt. bin enough kits of kvr's you could pull this off. if AMD binned thru trays of chips until a single chip was found to clock better and set all the records with it then released them at x speed saying hey we clocked that high but only guarantee half that i would be pissed.

also bta this doesnt unlock overclocking on any cpu pushing a higher mem speed limits more chips than it unlocks your comment is just well wrong.

 

[Rakesh95]

I think this is like one of those very fast cars, like the veyron or the Ultimate aero.

Its just to showcase that they can achieve these speeds, no matter how inconvenient it may be.

So i say, credit to them, they have done this pretty crazy speed, well done corsair.

 

[WarEagleAU]

Well regardless, its pretty awesome for speed.

It's a hell of a lot quicker to buy a pre-binned stick than it is to try and bin them yourself. Usually ends up cheaper as well. You generally don't get a good bin on the first couple tries. And AMD does bin chips, and does charge you more for that binning. That how it works, binned parts command more money.

These serve a specific market. You are not that market apparently. That does not mean they are not worth the money. That just means they are not worth the money to you.

Many people say the 980X is a waste of money for the performance benefit, but it still has a market (myself included).

it depends what you are doing and how you shop take my oem d9jnl and d9jnm other than the added voltage required I can accomplish pretty much the same clocks as binned elpida hyper. My stick are self binned from a stack of 12 or so sets of d9s. With resale I made money binning. Nowadays these sticks are nothing hypers are king 8 months ago that was a different story and is when I Binned my sticks.

Now these serve a certain market aka the one that buys the ud9 and will buy the ch4 extreme ie me. These sticks look like a waste to me since binned powerchips do poorly on amd and no matter how they clock on intel I buy amd. Intel wise these only allow high latency high clocking something that powerchips are known for and something that won't benefit performance just top clocks.

Your 980x is a waste in my oponion because a dual 6 core amd setup is not anymore expensive than a single 980x and will outperform a 980x those benchmarks are out as are all of the parts. That's my issue with intel extreme chips I can build an amd system for the cost of your cpu. I can build a rendering station with 12 real cores for the cost of your rig. With some cuts and comprimises I can almost get 24 cores on the new amd server parts your 980x could never keep close in rendering. You are correct they are made for someone and that's the same people who buy alienware but a little more advanced.

You can't clock your dual G34 setup. Even with 12 real threads, you'll be hard pressed to beat my 980X in everything with it at 4.2GHz.

12 real cores

Real men use real cores!!

Yea not everything but power consumption and rendering it willb beat your 980x and for clocking there are bios that allow clocking available for certain high end supermicro and asus boards. Just cause it won't do 4ghz don't make it slow.

 

[SystemViper]

i have a question. Back in the day the popular thought was to overclock it was best t oonly use one stick, that it put less stress on the memory.

So now with todays boards/memory/chips, --for benching only=== is there any disadvantage to use only 1 stick or is there any kind of gains to going tripple channel on x58 or double on p55/775/amd...

i'm just wondering if i should start sticking in the full bank of sticks of ram when trying to extreme overclock or stick with my tried and tru method of always running 1 stick in my benching rig...

No, but it doesn't make it right for an overclocking enthusiast either.

Nor does getting the highest stock clock with an unlocked multiplier. Challenge is what's right for an enthusiast. Get something thaty requires skill not something that requires a huge checkbook. Go oldschool get a p3 or p4 for intel or an athlon xp from amd. I went and got s754 stuff for the hell of it sounds fun to me and cost less than your 980x by alot

 

[Wile E]

I don't find clocking old hardware fun anymore. I already clocked that stuff when it was out.

Challenge is useless if you can't hit the numbers.

So, all you have established in this thread is that these sticks and my CPU are not right for you. Doesn't mean they aren't right for someone. I'd rather pay extra for something I KNOW is going to do what I want and save my time and effort for actually getting the numbers, not wasting all my time binning. My time is worth more to me than that percieved savings.

and you can't hit numbers with your 980X you have a bargain bin mobo and video card by todays standards. your cooling couldn't hold a light to the stuff used by any of the real clockers so i fail to see the point behind your rig and argument.

also the ram you have is standard powerchips stuff same as was used in the kit this thread is about yet yours is rated way down at 1600...hmmm my D9JNM can still run 1600 6-8-6 a year later and cost $80 new at microcenter in fact all of the old D9 kits i had could do 1600 6-8-6 a year ago....

as for this kits "value" to overclockers the gskill trident 2500's almost outclock them cas8
