Finally got it, eh? What's the mems?




And yeah, you know I like ram, that's just the most recent stuff, still got lots on the shelf for benching with. Trying to get even more, too. I want ever color, every size...

I hope the review may explain some of that.

Review is done, they are sitting here...and I'll be putting them to good use often.

They changed the water supply there recently, didn't they?

yeah they took out the fluoride

not sure if it will stay or not. I either will end up making this kit nekid, or possibly de-sinking my TridentX 2666'ers.

I'd use the TridentX sticks, but they need a fan, IMHO, hence the fan in the box. My new Dominator plats come with fans now...my original kit did not. The fins do seem to transfer a fair bit of heat, maybe you could get them stripped and re-anodized in your chosen color for relatively cheap...I did ask G.Skill about other colors already!


My new TridentX don't clock like my old ones did either, old ones hit 2933 MHz with 1.65 V. Yours are pretty old, if I remember right, so maybe your sticks are similar. I've been having a lot of fun playing with all these new options, honestly.

I knew high end kit was expensive but holy bat crap $2K for 8GB

When the Corsair Vengeance Extreme 3000 MHz sticks were first out, they were similarly priced. Might just be retailer pricing, might be legit price, not exactly sure, honestly, but if you want a kit right this second, that's what it is going to cost you. I have also seen them listed for 2000 EUR. Anyway, you can get the Corsair sticks now for about $750, if you can find them.

You Save:*$7,999.01*(80%) there 10k retail lmao

BS listing for that 10k, since 3200's are $2500:

I think Avexir also makes 3250 MHz sticks...

My adata can run 3100 12-14-14 @1.73v xD

I'm searching for 3300 13-15-15-35 myself(not on ADATA, of course). Nice to hear you got the sticks, let's see some pics!!!!

 

[FireKillerGR]

Already did 3435 mhz validation with 1.8v on air

Will post photos soon

that's not 3300 with 1.65 V.

My issue isn't with color or anything, I am worried about cooler clearances! In fact, I wonder about the thermal armor as well, but only time will dictate if that needs removed as well.

Also my Plats came with a fan, but I never used them. I did get to tinker with the TridentXs but they only got "warm" when running memtest or superPi, of course I never grabbed them in game.

Gskill because Dave said support who support "us"

Just think of how thick the heatsink is, and how heat transfers. There's a fair bit of metal there, so you feeling "warm" = "quite warm" under the heatspreader. I had both my 2666 C11 Tridents and my original (first batch, I think) Dominator Plats C10's die.

I didn't push either set hard, at all, since I was using both for board testing. Initial review, and then running XMP profiles only. The Dominator plats gave the ghost first, the TridentX recently.

Honestly, the Tridents may have been killed by a board, one stick was completely dead, no POST, one boot to the next. the other three sticks still did 2933 MHz. Too bad I had to send in the whole kit.

I have also noticed with 8GB sticks, only one stick gets hot, most often. The temp differences between the two are crazy...so the same must apply in some way to 4x4 GB kits, with certain sticks getting more load than the others....but, temps are similar for all four sticks...

To me, this is like pushing those C6 sticks I sent you...push too hard, something will die. I got to say "I told you so" the last time...

 

[sneekypeet]

wont be trying to kill anything, it needs to just run something reliable, guess it depends on how far those corsairs clock too.

 

[dumo]

3976 ram @ 2.12V with retail cpu and Gskill 2933 MFR

OC Panel with cold slow switch enabled (boot up @ 8X) to start the M6I

Red start button froze and unusable

A few Mhz. before cpu went "23". Lol

Probably need 2.4V on ram to jump 2000+

RAM/CPU temps. Hope no cold bug on ram, heatsinks still intact...

Coldbug without heatsink

Corsair Vengeance Pro Extreme 3000 next....
