They are slick searching. Low voltage - might not save you a bunch of $ in the long run, but they do run cooler. They DO operate with the AMD 890 chipset. The picture on Newegg looked green, but they are a silver in color like some of the other version of the gskill eco sticks. In the finish you can't genuinely see em so massive whoop. I researched many distinct ram modules, but these caught my eye from the starting.They work wonderful in my AMD MSI 890GXM-G65 Mobo. Initially it set itself to ddr3-1333 timings of 9-9-9-24 at 1.67V. Adjusted them manually to ddr3-1333 7-7-7-21 1.351V. Ran stable on memtest all night. <They will only run the spec. speeds ddr3-1600 7-eight-7-24 if you overclock your AMD technique.> So if you plan on overclocking stick with these, otherwise the ddr3-1333 versions will perform fine.

I have Gigabyte P55-UD4P motherboard; I have the memory set at 1.3v, 1500Mhz, CL 7-7-7-24, T1 no difficulties, thats incredibly tight. none. I used Gskill ahead of and never ever had challenges, I'm hoping that right after I bump up FSB to 1600Mhz, memory will stay steady at 7-7-7 timings...

Attractive gunmetal color, very good cost, low voltage, fast timings, and low profile/small heat spreaders for substantial CPU coolers. Couldn't set timing to advertised 7-eight-7-24 @ 1.35v on my AMD mobo (GA-790XTA-UD4). But it nevertheless runs quickly with decent voltage at 8-eight-8-24 1600MHz @ 1.42v with the present Gigabyte F3 BIOS. Hopefully a future BIOS update will repair this or a person will come across settings that work. I believed I had nothing to be concerned about when I saw these on the supported memory list for the Gigabyte GA-790XTA-UD4 mobo, but I was slightly disappointed when I found out it is unable to run at advertised timings. If it was achievable, I would have docked only half an egg as I should have carried out a lot more analysis ahead of I purchased. Still.. this is quality RAM for the value. Manufacturer Response:.Dear ConsumerThank you for your G.Skill purchase and evaluation. Regrettably not all AMD CPU/motherboards will be capable of DDR3-1600 CL7. This is why the memory is for Intel platforms, but as you know, as extended as it is set to CL8, it will perform just fine as properly. This is a really higher efficiency kit, so hopefully in the future you are in a position to unleash it's complete capabilities.Thank youGSKILL SupportHigh quality and buyer service are our best priorities.Tech Help Email: ustech@gskillusa.comRMA Dept E mail: rma@gskillusa.comG.Ability Forum: http://www.gskill.us/forum/

Gskill ECO 2x2GB DDR3 1600 CL8 1.35V runs very cool. low voltage, overclocked to 1700, 1.4v stil really cool. More than clockable to 1800 on CL9. I attempted, it operates. Under no circumstances had that good memery before. I wiill get an other set. Price tag is decent.You have to have it. None. Have to set CL in bios to 8.

Fast!Truly supports its rated SPD timings.Good seeking, not gawdy.Heat-spreaders incorporated and installed. Packaging seemed a small... lacking (just a simple PVC clamshell case, no apparent antistatic protection,) but eggs off.DDR3 nevertheless appears pricey to me, but this range is no higher than other brands at the exact same specs. Purchased a new mobo along with these Ɣ sticks,)running like a champ at 1600MHz memory clock with this memory ƘGB) in place.My old rig had a almost identical mobo except the DDR2 PC2 8500 version (using the exact same CPU,) the difference in speed amongst the two is definitely noticeable, from time to time nearly dramatic.I guess a 50% distinction in RAM speeds actually helps!

Comment:
Totally great RAM.My Gigabyte board under-clocked the timings by default, but a quick venture into the BIOS and viola.Mine is now running at 7-7-7-20-1T, with only a slight bump in voltage up to 1.4. (This box left intentionally blank... lol) Go for it, specially if you have a single of the new Gigabyte UD3/UD5/UD7 boards. They'll adore this RAM.

Comment:
Awesome ram. Runs as advertised. Seriously quickly ram with low latency and low voltage. what far more could you want?! Didn't work out of the box, you had to set the timings manually. In my case there was an extreme profile setting which i selected and it automatically filled in the correct timings. Haven't tried overclocking as I have totally no need to have for the personal computer it is in, nevertheless, i believe this set would hit 2000Mhz with ease if you unwind timings and up the voltage to a NOMINAL worth for ddr3.

Comment:
No issues, worked like a charm on a GA-P55M-UD2 board with an i5-750. Runs cool. Quick! Tends to make me want to get a second set even if when monitoring my useage on memory I can clearly see I don't will need far more RAM To get the 7-8-7-24 timings you want to set it in the BIOS, otherwise you get the default 9-9-9-24 timings. This alter gave me an extra .3 on the WEI scale for the memory (if that says anything), but haven't done other testing to see how noticeable this change is for some demanding applications.

Comment:
Rapidly, decent timings, overclocks nicely, and rock strong steady. If you do your study they operate great in some AMD boards as well. And now they're inexpensive too! Gskill's consumer service is wonderful too (didn't want them for this RAM but my prior encounter with them was excellent). no cons at all - I love this RAM! Why are so a lot of individuals crying about utilizing .1v far more than spec on an AMD board? Certainly insane - particularly if you mention "energy savings" like this is going to cut your energy consumption. If you're making use of an AMD board you'll in all probability have to set the timings and voltage manually, but this RAM is for tweaking and OC'ing so that's to be anticipated. If you can't set your own timings you shouldn't be exceeding 1333MHz anyway.Using with 890GX, 1.45v, 7-8-7-24, 1669 MHz and it runs 24ǝ stable for weeks. SiSoft Sandra benchmarked the bandwidth at 12.five GB/s with a dual core AMD @ four.01 GHz.

Penny Sensible! My setup beneath gives only thermal limitations to overclock of memory and processor with graphics. This setup is next year’s technique obtainable now! Excellent luck with yours!I started with the “Load Optimized Defaults” in the BIOS with the following Important alterations.

With the novice’s ability to overclock this, paying additional is a waste of your funds. Right here is how:The memory spec is critical to max overclock with stability, but the Intel proc I3 530 is just as powerful as I5. “Throttling” feature of more high-priced procs are promoting hy Caution! The voltage supplied by the G-Skill XMP settings could be as well high Ƒ.41V CPUVcore under the X.M.P.is much more than I was comfortable with) and could shorten proc life. Upon discovery, I turned it down to setting of 1.25625 for safety of my CPU and for less heating.My technique tests stable employing Intel burn test and Prime95 (free downloads on the web- just search). This is why I am not comfy with the EasyTune6 for overclocking and I am cautious to think about all factory settings such as XMP. I do use the EasyTune6 to manage the fan speeds and monitory temps on setting this up but do not want them accessible to customers… only the higher temp beep is explained to caution users.I also set the internal graphics clock in advanced frequency settings in Gigabyte MIT Bios Screen to 788 (from stock 733) and upped the BLCK slightly to 164 (from the 160 XMP setting provided) to get 3.60 Ghz on the stock Intel cooler supplied with the I3 proc. By working with larger blk settings (above 160, my MB mem mult is ten) and loosening memory timings in BIOS, larger overclocks are incredibly feasible with this setup ྶ is the max multiplier for the I3 on this board). All are restricted by the CPU cooler and case conditions and an aftermarket cooler is then advisable to address the thermal limitations.

Low-timed, high-speed memory!My pair works almost flawlessly (see under) Final pair needed a single increment of voltage bump (up to 1.4v on my motherboard) to run stable at 1600mhz, 7-8-7-24-2T. ((MINUS TWO EGGS.))(keep reading below) Current pair does 1600mhz, 7-8-7-24-1T at 1.4v. That's correct, 1T command price! ((PLUS 1 EGG.))Have a second pair on the way.

Would not run at first @ 1600 Mhz 7 8 7 24 1.35 voltsI had to get inventive. I employed a 242 HTT reference clock (FSB) and set it to 1333 7 8 7 24 1T 1.35 volts in bios to make it 1616 Mhz . Worked like a charm, been steady for week or superior now and runs excellent. I had to use a 2626 Mhz North bridge clock to acquire 1600 Mhz stability in win7.

This is fantastic excellent, rapid RAM operating at low power Ƒ.35 volts compared to 1.65 for most DDR3 modules). They're also from a brand with a good reputation. Admittedly, your RAM is not most likely to be the most significant power hog in your system, but if you're going for cool and quiet, every single little bit assists. It's also competitively priced - you're not paying a big premium for the reduce operating voltage or the great brand name. At the time of obtain, this was essentially one particular of the *least* expensive DDR3-1600 CAS 7 kits.The heat-spreaders are low-profile which indicates they won't interfere with substantial CPU coolers that overhang the DIMM slots on microATX boards.I'm very cautious about undesirable RAM from experiences in the past, so I've given these a great and correct pressure-test out of the box, and to my delight, they are rock-strong steady. According to some reviews, they have somewhat much less overclocking overhead compared to other (generally much more costly) RAM kits. I'm not overclocking, so I can't say very first-hand. Regardless, there is really minimal advantage to overclocking RAM at this point in time.There is also a little cost premium over "regular" G.Skill modules (e.g. Ripjaws). I have the eight gig Ɣx2GB) kit, but all the above applies to either kit.My motherboard did not use the XMP profile by default, even though it detected it just fine. That's the fault of my motherboard, not the RAM, and after I changed the setting, it utilised the correct speed/timings/voltage without any fuss. Just be sure to check your BIOS when installing the RAM to make certain it's set appropriately.

Comment:
Quick Ram, incredibly low power (and heat), zero issues, operates completely. I consider all RAM ought to be capable to run at this voltage. I haven't bothered overclocking. Once I set BIOS to XMP setting, all values had been picked up automatically. Not the cheapest ram, but really close. Probably will pay for itself in the power savings although anyway. ASUS P7P55D-M board with latest BIOS. Booted fien with shipped bios even though.

Update from my last review, altough seems pretty very good RAM modules and first I tought it was incompatibility with my i3 Core processor, seems it is additional likely faulty ram modules. See cons. Keeping 30min my Pc turned off is all it takes to grow to be unstable: W7 wont boot, will restart, BSOD, etc, 2 W7 clean installs due corrupt files so far, till I enter BIOS, go to MIT, memory freq menu and transform "something" like functionality boost from a single alternative to a different, save, restart pc and that´s it, my Computer will behave like pro, run benchmarks, play games, multitasking, and so forth.I´ve carried out some investigation and have there is an problem named "cold boot ram" and it´s like RAM modules require to be WARM in order to function adequately, sadly there is very scarce data about this situation.So I´ve completed the following tests to probe it:Booting MEMTEST with warm modules, most likely restarting pc, 5 loops, errors at these frequencies 1600 @ 7-eight-7-24 with 1.4v (my mobo won't assistance 1.35v) and 1800 @ eight-8-eight-24 Ƒ.5v).Turned Pc off 30 minCold booted Computer, cold modules, 1 loop, 35000+errors at 49% %.

I spent a important quantity of time researching memory ahead of I decided to make a leap of faith and obtain this memory.What finalized my selection was the quantity of costumer assistance G. Talent provides to its customers when it comes to the good quality of their solutions. This is evident by the multitude of responses that G. Skill has made in regard to any problems with their memory (check any comment with a rating of two or reduce). This is basically outstanding on their portion and has earned them my lifelong support in terms of RAM. Aside from that, the memory shipped and worked at the exact settings described. I have chosen not to overclock these modules, so I cannot give any input in that respect. To get them to their correct timing and voltages, I merely turned on the XMP profile with the BIOS on my Gigabyte P67a-UD7-B3. No problems what so ever. N/A The images of these on Newegg's web page indicate that the PCB is green when in fact the models I had been sent (manufactured in Jan of 2011) have been in reality black.Even though some individuals could not care about this, I was extremely delighted with G. Skill's selection to switch to a black PCB. Nearly every little thing catered to the enthusiast marketplace uses a black PCB, and these modules now match completely with my present setup.

If it worked at rated timings and speed It would be awesome!!! It will post at either 8-8-eight-24-2T @ 1.35v or post at 7-8-7-24-2T @ 1.4v But it won't post at it's provided specs. It won't operate manually or with the XMP file. I am extremely upset.... I had some terrible problems with G.Skill ram another time. And promised in no way to go back. Well I changed my mind... and believed wow factors should be superior with RAM like these. But man was I incorrect. I am presently employing them with a Asus Maximus Intense IV P67 Motherboard. And while G.talent's web site says absolutely nothing about getting compatible with this motherboard. Asus's manual does. Asus verifies compatibly with this RAM. So I don't consider it's the board specially since I see a hord of other individuals reporting equivalent items. I am going to attempt to get an advanced RMA from New Egg. I needed this RAM ASAP. I necessary it to perform the day it arrived. An advanced RMA will be the only predicament I will ever look at going back to G.ability. Very disappointed I wanted the security of the low voltage. I had to RMA 4 pairs of G.talent Rip Jaws in the previous. 3 out of the 4 DOA 1 pair would not post at rated speeds as well.I am continually upgrading my Pc. It is what I do for a hobby. I also invest a fantastic deal of cash all the time as I am sure other individuals do. I expect the parts I purchase to function the initial time. If not the initial time at least the second.

Low voltageWorks on AMD boards also even although it is advertised for P55timmings on AMD 7-eight-7-40-2t (you can run 1t but it seemed unstable if you attempted to overclock)Memory ran at 1800mhz fine at 1.4v The profile in the memory is not set correctly.You have to adjust your own settings.The voltage setting in the memory profile is set higher than advertised. Can be corrected my manual adjustments, but if your board does not enable manual memory voltage adjustments then you will be stuck operating this at a lot greater voltage! I like this memory, works for me. I wasn't interested in overclocking, just lowest voltage (stable) memory as attainable. Manufacturer Response:.Dear BuyerThank you for your G.Talent buy and overview. Glad to hear you were in a position to stabilize the memory on your AMD platform. At the moment, only the 890 chipset can support 1.35V, so it is not recommended for anything else. This is a very higher performance kit. We use the prime tier highest good quality brand new DRAM IC chips, which is why it can operate at such a low voltage. This is best for one particular that wants to lowest voltage, and also a single that desires the high overclocks. So especially for the price tag, this kit is a steal.

Cheap, Fast, Low-Voltage - Work as advertised - even several sticks per bank at advertised voltages and auto timings. None worked correct out of the gate - 8GB on a P55 MSI Motherboard at low voltage and extreme auto timings 7-8-7-24. Haven't attempted pushing them however, but worked right out of the box.
