I feel so blessed - Touched a Kingston 2800 stick!

[Massman]

'Sup boys and girls,

 

So, I went to this small Kingston event in Antwerp last week. Not too big, just one LN2 setup featuring JB (Marmott) and Adrien from Kingston. Can't recall the results, but it wasn't super-spectacular anyway. Free food, so I was happy.

 

Also ...

 

I was allowed to touch one of the three DDR3-2800 kits in Europe!! :nana::nana:

 

 

Obviously I feel so incredibly blessed and happy about that :D

 

 

Here's Marmott doing his magic too:

 

 

All in all a nice evening. Free food was delicicicious. :celebration:

hey I have a set of those

[Gamer]

How do they clock?

[PUNX223]

not sure yet will bench them soon just got recent along with some new TridentX

[oanvoanc]

first i was like: why do they Write "Adolf" on the Stick?

[TaPaKaH]

what's the point in showing memory you can't buy?

 

it's like they're trying to say "Look, after two years of HyperX failing 2000+ specs, we have finally learned to bin ICs and we will therefore now put the best ones on special non-retail kits which we will distribute between our most die hard asslickers, so that retail users, who make most of our profit, get fucked up by not being able to repeat these results, hahahaha".

lol thats a nice POV on it... but from what I know these will move retail very soon.

[M.Beier]

Massman, you feel blessed touching kingstons stick? Oh well!

[Massman]

what's the point in showing memory you can't buy?.

 

Because you can?

Not the 2800 ones. The 2666 sku will be retail.

LOL nicely spotted man

[K404]

non-retail, not available, but not under NDA :p

 

 

trollolololol

[marmott]

Let's avoid any confusion, it's A00LF and not ADOLF.

 

Don't know why people immediately see ADOFL but it's very common...

 

edit: why would it be under NDA? Z77 is out now.

[dinos22]

LOL ADOLF stick

 

Kingston has very tight allocation from what i can see with these sticks, hopefully binning improves with all manufactuers but they have to be mindful that CAS11 is SHIT, we need tight and high clocking CAS10 even if its binned at 1.8v!

"I feel so blessed, I touched ADOLF."

[dinos22]

I always thought Belgium was a nice peaceful country without any neo Nazi shenanigans but now i am not sure!!!!

[Mean Machine]

[K404]

Adolf touched himself?

[_mat_]

Thanks guys ... nearly pissed myself!

[Leeghoofd]

Henry always picks on the weak ones

 

We all want 2800C10 at least... funnily enough legitreviews already tested the 2800C11 or C12 dimms... kindda confusing on the first page as they list C11

Yes, let's ...

Not the 2800 ones. The 2666 sku will be retail.

 

hmm thats strange I will talk to my US contact, maybe different on your side of the pond

 

 

 

 

Edit: those are 2800C12 BTW... so yes they are way loose to run 2800.

 

I am hoping better IC soon to see much tighter timing with high speed.

 

but many IC I have seen on present stick love to push frequency but do not want to budge much on tightening up
