Lupino.86 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaPaKaH Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted January 12, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 12, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators websmile Posted January 12, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 12, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupino.86 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 G-Skill are better, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted January 12, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 12, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlife Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
