Gskill Sniper 12GB X58 ram kit Review

Memory by leeghoofd @ 2011-06-06

At the latest CeBIT 2011, GSkill announced their new Gamer Orientated Sniper series. Sporting a heatspreader that looks like a firearm. Coincidence or not, Gigabyte chose a sortlike military makeover for their new X58 G1 series motherboards. Even though main focus lately is on socket 1155, it is nice to see some new products too for the aging socket 1366. Todays reviewed kit is Gskills high end and high capacity 1600Mhz CL7 12GBkit. Consisting out of a triple 4GB dimm kit. Rated to run at a nice C7-8-7-24 SPD timings.

How do they fare on ...

Time to test them on some other platforms.. (ofcourse not in triple channel config)

First up the old, but still magnificent Rampage Extreme

Socket 775 :

2 x 4Gb dimms at 1800Mhz CL8-10-8-27 2T 1.65Vdimm fully stable on the Asus Rampage Extreme (X48)

Socket 1155 :

2 x 4Gb dimms at 2133Mhz CL9-11-10-27 2T 1.65Vdimm : fully stable on the Sandy Bridge platform

AM3 :

2 x 4Gb dimms at 2000Mhz 9-10-9-27 1T 1.65Vdimm on 1090T.

At looser timings we even could manage to get 2100Mhz stable on the 1090T...

All the above clocks were tested with HCI Memtest and Linx or Prime95 testing. Not bad for a 1600mhz rated kit, seems pretty polyvalent.
