Is Samsung Green 8gb newbie friendly?

Yes it's no different to any other memory on the back of the package it tells you the cas timings for different frequencies.


just go into tthe DRAM timings and adjust the 4 settings.


I think to get upwards of 2133 you may need to tinker with the settings but 1600 and 1866 i've not had many problems here at work.
 
With the Gene 2133 is easy and 2400 also very possible.

Its a great board for clocking RAM on.
 
sorry to hijack the thread but would this samsung green fit a gigabyte h55m ud2h board, im updating my pc and im buying bits at a time thought id buy ram first as it can help me boost my old pc for now going with the 16gb

yeah but you might need more qpi/vtt voltage with 8gb sticks,and idk how well they would overclock

@aceowner I don't think youd manage cas 9 on sandybridge,but cas 10 shouldn't be a problem

Hmmm, I suppose 10-10-10-28-1N wouldn't be too bad at 2133. What if I upped voltage to 1.6-1.65? I've got fan blowing cool air over the memory and I've heard the samsungs dont even get warm at these volts.

what board are you using? on an asus z68 v pro i ran 8gb at 10-10-10-28-1t timings and 1.55v dram voltage,with 16gb i needed 1.63v dram voltage

and no these modules dont get hot as they are 32nm,ive seen folks use 1.7v+ dram
 
should be able to,you might need the latest beta bios for that memory to get it to 2133mhz idk

its supported well on gigabte z77

EDIT: ive just looked on tweaktown forums and couldnt see any beta bios for that board so i dont know how well they would run

I am not sure on Giga Z68 either.

On ASUS I know the Greens can do 9-11-11-21 1T tcfc 96 at 1.65v easy easy easy and tight seconds and thirds too. ACEOWNER if you get Sammys dont go flat with the timings the like up slope then flat so 9-10-10 or 10-11-11- etc etc and low TRAS so 25 or 21.
 
The Samsung memory is very newbie friendly because its advertised rating is its JEDEC rating, not the overclocked XMP rating, and it's made from prime quality chips that are not overclocked, as is the case with almost everything else on the retail market.
 
It's very easy memory to setup. I haven't tried to push my memory as of yet. Or find it's sweet spot for voltage.

I just set it to 9 9 9 24 1T 1866 MHz at 1.5V as soon as I installed it. I ran some prime to stress it and have been running at those setting for about a week now, and all is stable in benchmarks and gaming.

So very easy to setup, but will take more time and testing if you wish to push it to better speeds and optimum volts.

Good to hear mine are on the way, off to that e place to sell my corsair vengeance :)

They have arrived :)

Just installed it and I'm @ 9,10,10,24,1T 2140MHz 1.555v

the strange MHz is down to running @ 100.3 bus speed not 100 :)

I failed to boot @ 2400 but I may try later Maxmem2 gave a

Memory copy of: 22924 MByte/sec
and
Memory Read of: 23606 MByte/sec
and
Memory Write of: 19412 MByte/sec

and a latency of: 49.2

I'm chuffed to bits :)
