Samsung 2x4Gb Low Voltage DDR3 1600 kit (OCing to 2400+) Discussion - Page 98

My earlier results were slightly optimistic. I've now thoroughly tested my 2x4GB sticks by running Prime 27.7 with 6.6GB RAM allocation for 15h+ while simultaneously playing Diablo3 or watching movies hours at a time.

Results:
- 2133 9-10-10-13-1T @ 1.575V
- 2133 9-10-10-28-1T @ 1.560V

YMMV on the -13-, depending on your board/bios.

Update: looks like the 15h Prime + gaming wasn't enough. Over time, I had to increase tRAS all the way up to 21.

Guys I have a somewhat silly question to ask.

I have gskill ripjaw 1600 ddr3 running at 9-9-9-24. How much faster will any gaming really be perceivable with an upgrade to this RAM? I've seen multiple reviews on it.. but will it really be anything noticable for me to upgrade to this ram?

It won't be perceivable. Faster memory does increase performance, but usually isn't very noticeable outside of benchmarks that actually give you a score at the end, running superpi & upping the frequency you can see the 50 milliseconds or something difference, in gaming you probably won't even notice the 1 fps or whatever it can gain.
This memory is still worthwhile just because it does have great price/performance, you can get performance similar to the more expensive memory at the cost of value memory, whether the difference is noticeable or not might as well get the more capable memory for the same price or less.

With this memory, you also never need to worry about whether a cpu cooler will clear the memory or not, it's about as low profile as it gets.

Challenge accepted! Will try that at 1.60v and see what happens. Although things may just end badly :-)

Last time I tried to get 1866 cl7 at 1.6v my Windows install decided to die on me, and had to reinstall...wth I thought. tongue.gif
I learned this ram doesn't like real tight timings, but speed in itself doesn't bother it that much. Can easily do 2133mhz cl9, so...not bad for 45usd (2x4gb)

Intel platforms in general don't get along with tight timings. It's always been AMD = lower speeds, tighter timings and Intel = higher speeds, looser timings.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get this RAM to run 1600mhz 7-7-7-20-1T when I still had my AMD platform though my old Mushkin RAM could.

I think it really boils down to the pricing. When these were first discovered, people (myself included) were finding them for like $40 bucks with $5-8 shipping while most other non 1600 CL9 kits were going for 75+ before shipping. Now that these have shot up to $50 in most places, and ram like G.Skill Ares has been found on sale for similar pricing with free shipping, it really depends on when you're buying.

To be fair, the GSkill Ares require 1.65v for 2133 9-11-10-28-2T afaik. Not to say they aren't also great; but even if timings were equal, these Samsungs are amazing just for being ultra-low profile (fitting in slot 0!).
