G.Skill Unveils TridentX DDR3 Memory Kit for New CPUs

Since Intel has finally deigned to formally launch the Ivy Bridge, 22nm central processing units, hardware meant to pair with it is appearing as well.

There are quite a few third-generation CPUs on Intel's website right now, divided into Core i5, Core i7 and Core i7 Extreme series. We have written about them here.

Needless to say, with the Santa Clara, California-based company's announcement, makers of motherboards and memory are opening the metaphorical floodgates as well.

Thus we lay our eyes upon the G.Skill TridentX DDR3 memory kit series.

As is easy enough to guess, even without glancing at the clocks, the RAM (random access memory) is intended for overclockers.

Speaking of which, the frequencies can go as high as 2,800 MHz.

There are many kits to choose from, all of them working on a voltage of 1.65 V.

At a latency of CL 11-13-13-35 and frequency of 2,800 MHz, there is an 8 GB offer (2 x 4 GB) and a 16 GB offer (4 x 4 GB).

Secondly, with a latency of CL 11-13-13-35 and a clock speed of 2,666 MHz, there are 8 GB (2 x 4 GB), 16 GB (4 x 4 GB or 2 x 8 GB) and 32 GB kits (4 x 8 GB).

Thirdly, G.Skill has prepared CL 11-13-13-35, 2,600 MHz kits of 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) and 32 GB (4 x 8 GB).

The fourth type of memory works at 2,600 MHz, but CL 10-12-12-31 latency. Capacities are of 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) and 16 GB (4 x 4 GB).

Finally, G.Skill created 2,400 MHz TridentX DDR3 memory kits with a latency of CL 10-10-12-31 and capacities of 8 GB (2 x 4 GB), 16 GB (4 x 4 GB, 2 x 8 GB) and 32 GB (4 x 8 GB).

All the modules have heatsinks with removable top fins, making them suited for both large cases and enclosures with less space on the inside.
