GSkill PC4400 1GB FC 2.5-4-4-8 1T: new DDR600 budget RAM?

30th June 2005, 13:18

Finally there is some interesting budget TCCD out now!
G.SKILL has released some new stuff, and finally with heatspreader. Looks very pretty. This RAM is based on the Samsung TCCD memory IC, which have great overclock capabilities.

The specifications:

* Package : 1024MB kit (2x512MB) dual channel pack
* IC Spec : Samsung
* CAS Latency : 2.5-4-4-8 (PC4400)
* Test Voltage : 2.7~2.9 V
* PCB Board : 6 Layers PCB
* Speed : DDR 550 MHz (PC4400)
* Type : 184-pin DDR SDRAM
* Error Checking : Non-ECC
* Registered/Unbuffered : Unbuffered
* Quality Control : Comprehensive rigorously tested in pair at dual channel environment
* Warranty : Lifetime

Tested voltages 2.7 ~ 2.9v, plenty of OC work!

Let's see how it perform on stock rated speeds:

Now some overclock sessions. First I tried using 2.5-3-3-6 with 2.65v stock voltage.

Very stable, no problems at all.

DDR600 2.5-4-3-6 1T stable

Awesome stuff, only 2.8v

I only can say this is some interesting stuff and looks good on your casemod too. This DDR600 capable RAM is very fast icw Athlon 64 platforms.

why the "and finally with heatspreader" ?

HS has been proven to be useless.. if it is a budget product it should be sold with fluff

This is the first extreme series with Heatspreader.
HS is indeed useless for cooling solution, but looks better

This will be under 200USD RAM, pretty interesting I think.

do you get handpicked samples?

I've had 2 sets of tccd now, (centon & gskill) and neither of them manage to do 300mhz 1T DC at respectable timings on a neo2

secondly, not that it matters to me, just out of curiosity but is it really tccd? or is it tcc5?

Gskill does not have any customer service or support at all. 5 emails with not one return from the so called tech engineer who happens to carry a titlle of marketing director. :spank:

These are not handpicked if i'm correct. I don't know.

These chips have Samsung TCCD.
