Posted January 12, 201510 yr Hello everyone, what you think of Team Group Xtreem DDR3-2666 White, CL 11-13-13-35 - 1.65V - 8GB Kit? I already have 4x TridentX G.Skill DDR3-2400, CL9-9-9-31 - 1.65V - 8GB RAM kit and would like to have so-called "spare" naturally good quality memory. Now I use MSI Mpower Z97 and MSI Xpower Z87 with Pentium G3258 and i7 4790K. THANK YOU!

Now I wouldn't quote me on this because I'm not 100% sure, but I think the 2666C11 kit is Hynix and your 2400C9 may be Samsung. Best person to ask is probably Tapakah since he seems to know his stuff when it comes to ram ICs
January 12, 201510 yr Yes, the 2666C11 are most likely Hynix MFR which are only good for raw frequency (max validations). Your current 2400C9 TridentX (Samsung-based) are a much better choice for performance.
January 12, 201510 yr Administrators Apart from that the 2666c11 are single sided, which will cause more loss on bench-performance on top due to a major bandwisth penalty you get from this compared to dual sided sticks

January 12, 201510 yr Administrators Hynix MFR are single sided because these are 4gbit ICs, 8 ics make 4gb stick. The bandwidth problem is well known and is related to bank interleaving iirc, you will find information on this on the internet at I think even here at forum
January 12, 201510 yr Administrators No recommendation on that, just the advice that if you want DDR3 memory for benching, go for dual sided sticks, your 2400C9 TridentX are good mems for example
January 14, 201510 yr Do your TridentX have ICs on both side or just one because double sided 2400c9 are pretty rare in Australia at least and everyone I know with them are single sided
January 14, 201510 yr Do your TridentX have ICs on both side or just one because double sided 2400c9 are pretty rare in Australia at least and everyone I know with them are single sidedDon't mix 2400C9 and 2400C10 TridentX please The former have never existed as single-sided modules.
