Received a new triple channel memory kit from folks at Gskill - 6GB Gskill Trident F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD. The Gskill Trident F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD is supposedly using Elpida BBSE memory ICs, while not as capable as Elpida Hyper 50mm ICs for >DDR3-2000Mhz 7-8-7-x speeds, they still hold their own for looser timings. I'll post my preliminary results here in preparation for a larger triple channel memory kit comparison review in the works

System:

• Intel Xeon W3540 3845B010
• EK Supreme LT 1366 / FESER 480 / MCP655
• Asus P6T6 WS Revolution
• Gskill Trident F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD
• 512MB Inno3D 8800GT OC Edition 190.62WHQL
• 750GB Samsung SATA
• Pioneer DVR-217 DVD-RW
• Corsair HX1000 PSU
• Dual Boot - WinXP Pro SP3 (nLite fully updated) with Vista Theme & Win7 Ultimate 64bit RTM

First hour using this kit and managed an overclock on these for 8x 32M Pi @DDR3-2124Mhz 9-9-9-24 1T at 1.72v. Asus P6T6 WS Revolution bios sets latencies pretty tight so good pi performance even for Win7 OS

Both 8x 32M Pi and single 32M Pi runs done in same windows session.





Shows promise, so now to let this memory kit get to know my Xeon W3540 + Asus P6T6 WS Revolution pairing

Nice chart George.
That's some low voltage there!
And 2k 7-9-7 @ 1.72v stable looks great!
Better than the kit i have.

thanks.. indeed a nice kit

Max memory clocks @9-10-9-24 1T at 1.76v

Folks are reporting higher head room mhz with 9-10-9-x timings for Elpida BBSE, and I can confirm that is correct. With 9-9-9-24 this trident kit maxing out 32M around DDR3-2124mhz with ceiling of semi-stability around 2160mhz. With 9-10-9-24 timings same trident kit pushed 32M pi @DDR3=2220mhz and managed validation @DDR3-2281Mhz all at 1.76v vdimm and 1.65v QPI/DRAM uncore volts.

That's a pretty nice run for tRCD @ 10.

Thanks... new personal best cpuz memory validation and first time breaking DDR3-2300Mhz for triple channel on X58 @DDR3-2305Mhz 9-10-9-24 1T at 1.78v. Previous best was @DDR3-2298Mhz 9-9-9-24 with 3GB Samsung HCF0 modules.

Sidetrack.
George, u should put ur 3540 under cold when u have time.
That uncore @ 4.6ghz on H20 alone is amazing.

[eva2000]

Yeah i know w3520 and w3540 begging for colder temps. Have plans to get Kayl to build me a phase change unit for 1366/1156/am3 hehe

[hdchopper]

Exellent george I soak in more in one of your post's than in a case of beer

thanks for the cheat sheets I am going to use them big time !
