Kakaroto G.SKILL PC4000 2GB HZ testreport

18th September 2005, 14:14

Just received two kits of this RAM. This ram is the extreme version of the 2GB HS which is rated at PC3200.

Here some official specs:

* Package : 2048MB kit (2x1GB) dual channel pack
* IC Spec : Samsung
* CAS Latency : 3-4-4-8 (PC4000)
* Test Voltage : 2.6~2.8 V
* PCB Board : 6 Layers PCB
* Speed : DDR 500MHz (PC4000)
* Type : 184-pin DDR SDRAM
* Error Checking : Non-ECC
* Registered/Unbuffered : Unbuffered
* Quality Control : Comprehensive rigorously tested in pair at dual channel environment
* Warranty : Lifetime

I tested two kits to see if the the OC results are similar.

Here some pics:

This RAM also uses SAMSUNG UCCC IC's.

I tested on two CPU's, a Venice 3000+ week 17 and a week 28 X2 3800+. Both average overclockers with at least memorycontrollers that can handle DDR600 with MP9x.

Venice system:

-DFI nF4 ultra-D BIOS 623-3 (official site bios)
-Asus 450Watt

X2 system:

- DFI nF4 SLI-D BIOS 623 (Factory bios)
- Tagan 480W-U22 2Force

DDR500 3-4-4-8 1T stock tests

3Dmark01, 3000+

Everest, X2 3800+

SPI 32M, X2 3800+

Lets see what it can do when overclocking.
What I have noticed is that this IC doesn't like high voltages. The sweetpoint is 2.5~2.65v.

DDR540 3-4-4-8 1T 2.54v~2.58v

SP2004, 3000+

SPI 32M, 3000+

DDR556 3-4-4-8 1T 2.54~2.58v

SP2004, 3000+

SPI 32M, 3000+

Memtest86++ STD, 3000+

Here 280Mhz 3-4-4-8 1T at same voltage!

SPI32M X2 3800+

3Dmark01, X2 3800+

I also can memtest86++ 280MHz at 3-4-3-8 1T at the same voltage, but SPI 32M craps out.

Memtest86++ STD, 3000+

I think the average OC of this memory lies between 270~280 3-4-4-8. I see guess2098 with 3-3-3-3 OC, unfortunately I cannot achieve this timings on both CPU's.

An important setting when going over 250MHz, is setting Read to write Delay on 3 or higher, 2 will nogo.

Kakaroto,

Newegg is carrying them now.

Wow, you're a lucky guy. This is a very nice memory kit, especially for an overclcoker like me. I wish I had the money to afford buying them.

Overclockers have to have money; otherwise, they are called overclockers To Be
