Super Talent PC2-8000 DDR2 2GB Kit
Everest & SuperPI
Published: 10th January 2007 | Source: Super Talent | Price: |
From the graphs below we can see that there was very little difference in results on Everest and SuperPI benchmarks regardless of settings. This goes to show that the Intel Core2Duo processor and Nvidia 680i chipset combination does not suffer from any kind of memory speed bottleneck and the larger speed increases can only be obtained by increasing the CPU speed. Regardless of this, the T1000UX2G5 performed very well obtaining almost 9GB/s on the Everest Read benches.

This is probably the first OC3D review I'm really saddened by.
XMS man, please if you have time retest these! GKX's should do 600MHz so easy!
Please make sure you were at
Twr - 6
Trrd - 5
Twtr - 3
The RAM should have done 600MHz 5-5-5-5-15 @ 2.5v.
At 1000MHz they should do
CAS - 4
TRCD - 4
TRP - 4
TRAS - 7 (Or Lower, try 6, 5 & 4.)
TRC - 12
TWR - 6
TRRD - 5
TWTR - 3
With 2.2-2.35v.
If the BIOS doesn't have the proper RAM settings available, you can get Memset.
Oh, and test with active cooling (of some sort). D9 pumps out a lot better results with a breeze.
GL man.

As for active cooling - it makes it a bit unfair on previously tested modules.
Wow really? That's some TERRIBLE GKX then. Jeez. Most D9GMH does better.
Nevertheless, great review Jim
Nevertheless, great review Jim
Could we see a different approach?
Possibly set for 4/3/3/8 and then go for max mhz at 2.4v vs just a show of a rating?

I just tried again, and its a total non-booter at even 580mhz
The 680i chipset has many more options over the P965/975X so mebe i'll explore some of those tomorrow.Um Nicks, GKX generally wants more than 2.4V thats why.

looks like really badly bined GKX memory
4-4-4-12 at 2.4V 
my memory does 1050 4-4-4-12 with 2.2V
cellshock GKX and GMH memory have 8 layer PCB this really helps them OC better and handle more voltages
8-Layer PCB is gimmicky IMO. If it was that good, other manufs would be all over it too.
@ NOL, I don't think GKX likes that much more voltage than GMH. All I know is, GMH is very sensitive to voltage and WILL degrade >2.3v.

8-Layer PCB isnt a gimmick, its been proven time in and time out to increase the tolerances and life span of the ram.
other manufacturers are starting to jump on the 8 layer pcbs for their highest kits like the ocz flexXLC mem and teamgroup pc2-9600 & pc2-8500 C4
as well as improving the voltage tolerance it also helps to decrease the ammount of noise, crosstalk and interference of signals allowing for more stable operation at higher speeds/voltages
