G.Skill Pi Series PC3-12800 4GB Memory Kit Review


Thu 2008-07-03 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
Hardware Canucks has posted a review of G.Skill’s Pi series PC3-12800 4GB memory kit.

Here’s what they had to say:

“Overall though, the G.Skill PI 2x2GB PC3-12800 7-7-7 memory kit we looked at today is quite an impressive pair of modules. The XMP profiles are about as fast as you are going to be able to get at these frequencies with extremely aggressive sub-timings. Our Intel X48 based motherboard immediately recognized the XMP profile and from first boot we were running at rated frequencies and timings with this kit. The overclocking potential is there as we saw some pretty impressive results on a less than willing platform, imagine what we could do with a motherboard that wants to do its job? As we usher in a new set of Intel chipsets in the P45, we hope this won't be the last you see of the G.Skill PI PC3-12800 2x2GB kit. Don't forget to keep your eyes on the discussion thread of this review in our forum as these modules put more time in when newer motherboards come through.”


This model should retail in the $310-330 range, which is quite reasonable for a low latency DDR3-1600 4GB memory kit. It also has some decent overclocking capabilties, as it achieved DDR3-1700+ at 7-7-7 with relatively low voltage (1.9V).
