GSkill F1-3200DSU2-1GBFX Debut

[nop]

hmmm....on th expert mobo i couldn't put it @ 300htt without a zillion of memtest errors. Will try on ulral-d later then

[i found nemo]

remember, gotta burn 'em in though ( on my utt/ch-5 took me almost a month to get 1.5-2-2-8stable as opposed to 2.5-3-2-9 stable)

[i found nemo]

This fx I have no idea how high it can go, but I pretty sure that 's also a budget series ram from Gskill.
week, Honestly, I would say 0513

same thing in this review ... funny you should mention that

Can't find this stuff anywhere

[cdelong]

have to buy it "USED".

[Mn3monic]

mine can hit 300 @ 2.5-4-3-5, 2.72vdimm on DFI Lanparty UT nF4 SLI-DR eXpert...

@I found nemo : burn-in tccd ? is this possible like utt ch5/bh5 ?
mine can do 290 2.5-3-3-7 1T 2.72v easily(with ultra-d first try was 275), dont try higher yet(I will test it later with expert),
now still searching with geil one-s 309 2.5-4-3-7 1T 2.77v(wont do 2.5-3-3-7, geil tccd 524)

Why is the initial post blanked out?

[Micutzu]

Cause OPB moved to the competition
Anyway, the FX series is out of production, i don't think this is so important anymore.

[uOpt]

Well, competition or not, since the post was made before he defected, I don't see how that invalides his previous findings.

I think XS should maybe be above corporate identity battles in clear cases like these.

I agree, I hope that competition not make confusing XS member

i love my fx series

I have just got myself a pair of F1-3200DSU2 512LA. Amazing sticks of RAM, can do DDR600 2.5-4-4-8 at stock voltage with no problem at all (if fact its not even overclocked yet).
How does those sticks compare to mine?

but I think gskill gbfx still the best for price/performance

[ozzimark]

meh, in reality, anything over $100 per gb isn't good at all for price/performance

Mine cost $680 (Hong Kong dollars) which is quite cheap

yes quite cheap compared with gskill LA,LE,FF or Geil One-s
mine got 290@2.5-3-3-7 2.7v and 316@2.5-4-3-7 2.8v

What was the OP's result? I don't see it.

Anyhow, if you haven't gotten your hands on a pair of TCCD, this is the right time since all the manufacturers are trying to dump DDR DIMMs. I myself got a pair of OCZ PC4200 sticks and they do 300MHz @2.5-3-3-6, and past that 2.5-4-3-7. (didn't test how far it'd go) All this at 2.70~2.75V.

[lopri]

Here are a couple screenshots for your viewing pleasure. It was my first TCCD kit and the things clock like there is no tomorrow, so I thought all TCCDs are like that. Mind you, but the clock itself won't make up for timing-loving K8 CPUs. (sure there is a turning point)

Here are OCZ PC4200 Platinum 1G (512MB x 2) which I just picked up for ~$120 after MIR.

DDR620 @2.5-4-3-7


DDR600 @2.5-3-3-6


And for comparison's sake, this shot is from OCZ PC3200 Titanium 1G x 2

DDR500 @2.5-3-2-6


The thing is, those TCCD sticks were much easier to deal with. Like I said, all DDR makers are trying to dump their inventory right now so if you've been thinking of them, this is the right time. And until Conroe arrives, do you honestly think DDR2 533/667/800 can make up for the speed shown above? I've seen some reviews here and there (about AM2), but they're comparing DDR400 (2-2-2-5, yeah big deal) with DDR2 800. Don't they know most people already running DDR500~600 speed in their rigs? Why do they turn blind on reality?

Sure DDR2 800 might be comparable to DDR400, but the truth is, nobody runs DDR400 this day and night.

Sorry about off-topic. Dunno how it went that way..
