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:

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 :)

Timings and CMD Rate comparison

Some preliminary memory tests for new 6GB Gskill Trident F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD triple channel memory kit in preparation for a larger triple channel memory kit comparison review in the works :)

Detailed full screenshots for each configuration tested can be seen here.

Very detailed analysis, props. Was looking at dropping these in a new rig i'm putting together.
 
I am going to pop 6 GB of these into my rig as well, although I don't really know what is going on in this analysis... i'm gonna go with that these sticks are pretty good.
 
the chart is just comparising 2T vs 1T for each mem mhz speed, timings configuration trying to keep all tests within 4000-4025mhz for easy comparison

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.

System:

Max Validation @DDR3-2281Mhz 9-10-9-24 1T at 1.76v​

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.

System:

Max Validation @DDR3-2305Mhz 9-10-9-24 1T at 1.78v​

QPI/DRAM = 1.65625v
VDIMM = 1.78v
Uncore frequency = 4608Mhz :)

Can we see some Everest memory benches for comparison please? Oops, NM, I see the everest benches now.
 
I have the same ram (2x3GB), and motherboard, but I am using an i7 920, D0. I am trying to run this test to determine a level of stability:

Prime95 (Custom - Duration : 1320 minutes)
-Min. FFT size (in K) : 8k
-Max FFT size : 4096k
-Memory to use (in MB) : Max available in OS -100 MB

I am trying to maintain at least 4GHz and 2000MHz on the RAM, but after only a few minutes I get the BSOD error #124.

I have tried:
20x200bclk : 2000Mhz 11-11-11-28 1T VDIMM=1.68v, VTT=1.4800v & VTT=1.50v

Turbo off completely.

Any suggestions? What stability testing have you tested with, if any with this ram and CPU speeds?
