G.Skill Breaks 4000 mhz on retail kits!

[Lays]

G.Skill have announced 4000 mhz DDR4 kits! 

 

They have very loose timings, but I imagine very soon people will be able to tighten the timings up a bit with a bit extra voltage.

 

They seem to be more targeted towards Skylake, I was thinking this would be a thing on Skylake, since it's easier to run 2-4 sticks at higher speeds than 4-8 sticks in the X99 platform.  Much less stressful on the IMC when you do things like this.

 

 

G.SKILL have 2 new lineups coming in, "TridentZ" which is the successor to "Trident" and "TridentX", as well as "Ripjaws V" which is the successor to their Ripjaws lineup that has been really popular over the years.

I myself have a TridentX DDR3 kit, 2400 CL9 is the XMP profile, and I have been able to bench 2 of my sticks at 2800 CL9 with very tight timings, so I expect great things out of these new ram kits they're releasing!

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

Ripjaws V – New Design, New Colors, New Specs

 

With a new generation, comes a new heat spreader design concept. Game in style; work in style. Ripjaws V is the newest member of the classic performance Ripjaws family, featuring suave new looks in five illuminating colors: Blazing Red, Steel Blue, Radiant Silver, Gunmetal Gray, and Classic Black.

The Ripjaws V series DDR4 memory will be available in kits of various configurations and capacities, comprising of 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB modules with performance ranging from the standard 2133MHz to staggering 3733MHz at ultra-low voltages. The high-density 16GB single modules are manufactured from highly selected Samsung IC memory chips, packing both capacity and performance in a single module. And of course, all high performance kits are XMP 2.0 ready for easy BIOS tuning and setup, as well as rigorously tested under hours of grueling benchmarks and memory validation testing software on the latest motherboards from major motherboard vendors for maximum performance, compatibility, and stability.

OHHHHHHHHHHHH YESSSS

Love the Z, but not too sure on the V.

[VioDuskar]

that is ridiculous.

 

they took the voltage savings of DDR4 and used it to crank the bandwidth speed up. LOLz

why even do that high with such loose timings and high voltages and lower capacities?

[Lays]

I didn't see anything about pricing yet guys, but I expect it to be pretty wild for the 4000 kit.

[ShadowCaptain]

That top kit is gorgeous

[VSG]

Samsung IC, and the usual CPU IMC woes are applicable here also. Please don't buy expecting these to run as-is just in case someone was.

[Notional]

Those TridentZ looks amazing. RAM vendors are finally starting to understand people don't want stupid klingon design (or at least the ones who can actually afford them). That is why all nice systems has Corsair Dominator RAM.

 

Just some added pictures of TridentZ:

G.skill are at top of their game again

Most likely if they are releasing these as XMP 4000 I'd assume they are testing and validating them with loads of chips,  is Skylake supposed to have the same OC socket type of deal that X99 had?

 

I figure some extra VL5/VL6 volts as well as some VSA (If that's what they call them like on the SOC Champion) should probably get them running properly.

 

 

Also I've heard Samsung IC's are pretty crappy on DDR4 compared to Hynix thus-far, that true?

[Tagiau]

These kits will be like the 128gb kit from corsair. Impossible to get, and when you do get it, it will be pointless and cost too much money. 

 

I seem to be mistaken. They are more common now than 2 months ago. 

[The Gaige]

IMO, G.Skill has the best RAM out there!

No idea about any OC socket on Skylake. Asus has extra pins but they seem to be doing nothing function wise. Skylake IMC should be better than Haswell-E though.

 

Yeah, Samsung IC isn't very efficient on DDR4 really. Hynix at lower frequencies can net you better performance. Nothing that most people will notice in real life though.

A year from now, RAM latency will be "1 year - 9 months - 2 weeks - 3 days" and people will still be cheering for a few extra mhz of bandwith.

Eventually the bottom will fall out of DDR, and system memory will move over to HMC.

[Jumper118]

8 pack said that hyper x predator is the best ddr4 so far. i wonder how this will fair against it.

Its using sammy X99 works better with Hynix which is why Predator is top for ddr4

[GoldSrc]

Damn, that TridentZ looks very sexy.

You do know that CAS latency is measured in clock ticks don't you?

The higher the frequency the shorter the tick. CAS latency of 20 on a 3800 MHz kit means quicker access than if you had a 1866 MHz kit with latency of 10.

[Doobeedoo]

The timings though. I thought that for newer ram they'd manage to tame latency or that it would actually go down. Never looked about it in detail though.

But that's one great looking RAM there.

[NateGSR117]

Nice! But this is complete over kill which I like, however remember this isn't set in stone the cpu has to be able to handle that can of load.

[DarkBlade2117]

Trident Z... I never seen a lot of ram so... So... Sexy. The rip jaws are even looking better.

it will be slower than my 2666 cl10 kit of ddr3 ripjaws z though.

I've a great deal of optimism, and hope that perhaps, maybe we can see HMC / 3DXPoint on Skylake-E.  I would absolutely love to see it appear from Crucial and Intel.
