Thread: G. Skill DDR3-1600 Trident RAM

The new 2Gb chip, from which the new modules will be cobbled together. G. Skill packs per page eight chips on the modules so that you get from a total of 16 chips in a double-sided module, the total capacity of 4 GB. Theoretically, it is also possible to create new 2-GB modules with the 2Gb-ICs, modules with unilateral or bilateral modules with only four chips per side. In the past this was often done to bring new clock modules to records on the market.



Nowadays it is already at the clock on the limit of the memory controller so it is questionable if the memory manufacturers to introduce new modules for performance reasons. If they do, then it is likely that allows 2Gb modules connect to a better price. The Trident have the exact name of F3-12800CL9 4GBRL are specified at 1600 MHz and stand out at this frequency with timings of 9-9-9-24. The command rate is specified here by 2t, we tested, however, consistently with 1T command rate without any problems. The tension here is at 1.5 V, ie to JEDEC standards. Additional features included so as a fan for the new flare models of G. Skill - are not included.

Visually, the Trident engine has to offer is certainly not as much as the Corsair Dominator modules, which can attach itself to a AirFlow Pro Memory display. They'll be able to score points with the voltage. 1.5 V at 1600 MHz are not self-evident, since many require ICs already 1.65V to run at the high frequency stability. Overall, G. Skill thereby covering virtually the low-voltage rail. Since all the boards have come to support a switch to the dimming voltage to 1.65 V, the standard voltage is no longer as important as it was a few years.
