Triple Channel DDR3 Memory Kit Reviews


Tue 2009-01-06 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
Legit Reviews and TweakTown have reviewed triple channel 6GB DDR3 memory kits from Corsair, G.Skill, and Kingston.

Here's what they had to say:

  • Legit Reviews: Corsair Dominator 1600MHz 6GB Triple-Channel Memory Kit:

    "The Corsair Dominator 6GB PC3-12800 DDR3 triple channel memory kit was a fun memory kit to review as it features a revised heat spreader and some Samsung ICs that were friendly to overclocking. The memory performance seen on Intel Core i7 platforms never gets old and is just as impressive today as it was when I saw it for the very first time. It was only a matter of time before Intel moved beyond dual channel technology and it seems that the time was right other than the fact that the country is in a recession.

    The TR3X6G1600C8D memory kit that I reviewed here today retails for $239.00 at Newegg and has free shipping if you are curious how much it runs. There is a high demand for memory ICs that can run fast frequencies with low voltage, so that partly explains the high price of today's triple channel memory kits. They are not the cheapest thing in the world, but as with anything, you get what you pay for."

  • TweakTown: G.Skill PI Black PC3-12800 (1600MHz) CL8 6GB Memory Kit:

    "The G.Skill kit is actually one of the fastest kits to date we’ve tested and we don’t doubt for a second that if you’re looking for not only a 6GB kit that looks killer, but can perform as well, then the PI Black G.Skill DDR3 PC 12800 CL8 6GB kit is for you.

    Overall we’ve got a great 6GB kit of memory here that isn’t going to break the bank as much as some of the lower latency stuff on offer. The kit is a good all rounder that offers looks, performance and price."

  • TweakTown: Kingston Triple Channel 1333MHz 6GB Memory Kit‏:

    "Kingston’s ValueRAM series we received, while lacking overclocking punch is a great kit for the users who simply want to set up a system and forget it; no overclocking or no tweaking. For that use the ValueRAM is perfect and costs significantly less than high-end kits, so it makes for a very impressive option."

If you can afford it, and plan to overclock, the Corsair Dominator kit is definitely the one to buy. If you aren't overclocking, buy the cheapest DDR3-1600 kit that you can find!
