G.Skill: NEW TridentX 3000MHz RAM - Computex 2013

2013-06-09
so hey guys we are here at the g.skill event they're overclocking right behind us I'm here with Mark when the engineers g.skill memory so mark tell us what's going on back here what motherboards are they using what memory are they using exactly what are we setting a new world record here today or something well this is our annual computex overclocking event and this is one of the kind in the world which as we invite top overclockers from around the world and work with the four major motherboard manufacturers today you're going to see a gigabyte we're going to over clock on gigabyte motherboards with our g.skill memory and what's the memory modules are they using what's the capacities or is there any standard of the type of modules well they typically use our try the next series else it really depends on them because we have both four gigabyte modules and a gateway modules and we have our top modules available in 4 8 16 and 32 gigabyte sex right yeah and what's the speed that we overclocking with the speed well a couple of days ago we broke the world record at about 42 29 megahertz 4290 that's great that's been impressive we're trying to break that today so we'll see what happens where the what's the progress on that well the progress on that well I don't know find out later on you'll find out we'll find out so what's that what's the process of overclocking the memory as what were they most tweaking in the memory module the timings they're working with the motherboard specs with a CPU so there's a lot of the whole science going on there it's a very complex science but what you're trying to do is increase the clock frequency and you're working with the timing and you're also trying to work without the cpu frequency in order to get up get a stable setting so that you can actually go into the system all right yeah so now we can go back inside to check out exactly the new memory modules that are you guys introducing this year so let's go in and check those out so now I movie back inside we're going to take a look at some of the modules but first with the introduction of has well the this overclocking potential and just reaching the stock speeds of 3000 megahertz has become a reality has become a potential because with the ivy bridge the the highest was 28 3328 right so now with the Haswell brings a lot of overclocking potential and just default sauce the default speeds for the modules a lot of companies are jumping on board for this so g.skill mark so tell us about what type of modules you guys introducing here and what was the process of getting to that 3000 mark on the Haswell modules or sit here that it's improved a lot on the IMC so then we can get to a higher frequency because it's a lot more stable on higher frequency so we have here is starting from the 2832 to two gigabytes all the way up to the 3000 megahertz range yeah and then we're the first company to actually validate with intel to have a XMP certification for our for a 3000 megahertz kits getting here well we have to filter out through a lot of chips we have to go through a lot of engineering we have to make tweaks to our settings and timings and frequency and just pretty much everything on the motherboard so what we have here are 16 gigabyte memory kits and 32 gigabyte memory kits on 3000 and what we have here is also running to show that it's stable hyper pie running eight eight threads and you will see right here that we have pretty much no problem running through here running late with no errors yeah and it's been on since this morning so it's pretty nice and over here 16 gigabytes we have actually over Clark beyond 3000 and if you see right there it's about 3250 yeah this is and this is just on air and what makes this difficult is that we stuck in four modules most most of the times it's usually overclocking on one or two modules but we have to because we're trying to push for the limit we're trying to go beyond the limit and the difficult thing about four modules is that you have to synchronize the timing you have to synchronize all the settings across all four modules which is the maximum supported so we've done a lot of work on that okay so given this this is 33,000 megahertz at one point six five volts what is the overclocking potential aside from what we see here you know for a regular consumer could buy these potential it really depends on how you tweak it it really depends on the hardware that you use and really each kits and each system very varies so what you get is yeah what's the availability date and how much are we expected to pay for these well the 60 goodbye it's is already available but the 32 should be available really soon and it's on the market it's been listed and according surprises well it depends on your local reseller well thanks mark great the memory from g.skill high frequency modules so great for rendering aside from gaming but excellent excellent for rendering we have high capacity modules so 32 gigabytes so thanks mark and stay tuned guys for more complex coverage
