Kingston success with ultrafast RAM: 2.1 GHz
Kinston Technology, a leading supplier of memory modules, demonstrated on Thursday its ability to overclock its HyperX DDR3 memory modules to unprecedented clock-speed with the help of a mainboard running Nvidia Corp.’s next-generation core-logic that supports DDR3 memory. The memory module maker overclocked its HyperX PC3-16000 (KHX16000D2K2/2G) memory modules from their default clock-speed of 2.0GHz to 2.13GHz using a mainboard powered by yet unannounced Nvidia nForce 790i core-logic for Intel Corp.’s processors. At press time it was unclear which latency and voltage settings were set. Back last year A-Data and Walton Chaintech introduced their 2GHz Vitesta DDR3-2000X and Apogee GT Blazer DDR3 2000 memory kits that could operate at 2.0GHz with 2.10V or 2.15V voltage setting.
The ultra high-speed memory modules utilize 6-layer print-circuit boards, which are often used to manufacture rather expensive graphics cards and mainboards, which automatically makes such memory devices pretty expensive.In mid-February this year Corsair Memory also joined the 2GHz club with its new Dominator-series memory modules. Back last year very few platforms could actually handle 2.0GHz memory speed and hardly all end-users who acquired such memory modules could actually make them work at their frequency. However, as Intel X48 and Nvidia nForce 790i SLI chipsets are approaching the market, it is expected that considerably more enthusiast-class platforms will be able to boast with 2.0GHz memory clock-speed. Currently unannounced Kingston HyperX PC3-16000 (KHX16000D2K2/2G) memory modules will be available in Q1 2008.

…and its unaffordable
I have to look into purchasing one. Thanks for this post!
I will be gettin’ this in 8 gig stix to fuel my Quad-C0RE board wit 9800 GFX at 3.2 Ghz
Beat that BEEOTCHES!
they overlocked it .13ghz and youre all so happy because none of us will be able to afford it and by the time that these babies get to a cheaper price, a new model wit a higher clock will be available.
nice, but it will be outdated when teh super mega octa-core crack-powered nitro 20ghz memory comes out that you stick in your cornhole
@3 I got u beat on the same set up at 3.4Ghz…. What is your 3D Mark 06 score?
im still running on DDR ram.kingston make great memory lifetime .
looks expensive, ive already got 8GB dd2 1200mhz and no need to upgrade til next year.
Kamo you are full of it.
The 9800 isn’t even out yet.
PWN3D!

Note: It’s coming out in the summer in several models including the 9850Gx… M1NE!!!
Assassins.Creed-RUSSIAN out on new torrents
Buy today, obsolete 5 mins laters…
What are the latencies on these sticks? I read the timings on most DDR3 RAM is super high so it kind of evens out the high frequency. I still don’t see the point in paying such a premium for DDR3 RAM though. My 680i board had trouble with my 1066mhz sticks so I down clocked them back to 800mhz but tightened the timings to 3-4-3-9 and actually got better benchies. Then again I should’ve never went with an Nvidia board but choices are limited when you need SLI. If it wasnt for that I would’ve loved to grab a P35 or an X38. The memory controller on the 680i stinks.

I just purchased that setup 3 months ago and it’s already soooo obsolete. Damn computer industry!
I ate my banana faster than the other monkey ate his.
@12
I know, it sucks big time! DDR3 will probably be mainstream 6 months or so from now, because you can buy a 2GB kit of D9GTR for ~$220.00.
TitoSlave,
What do you n33d to run on that syst3m that it can’t handle?
What is top of the line now if that is so obsolete?
And here I am, with my 850Mhz celeron
Lol, Mr.X Thats an Eleet system you got there to mod and ban on here.
Termin4T0R -lil x- Out!
@ mrx
roflmao… i feel for you bro tho
im running an athlon xp 2700+ @ 2.19GHz but my crap a$$ mobo is readng the cpu as athlon xp 1500+ @ 500MHz 
im saving up some money for a better setup tho…
I’m gonna have like the raddest PC ever in 2012.
TerMin4T0R there is no 9800 you mong.
@15 It’s obsolete in terms of not being the best anymore. DDR3 will begin to become mainstream, Nvidias 9800 will be out soon but the G92 cards are already available at cheap prices, the newer 45nm chips are out now breaking 3Ghz stock and able to hit 4Ghz+ easily. The new motherboards being able to push much higher FSB, more x16 lanes, and a host of other benefits. And the biggest factor being how quickly prices decline solely because better parts are released shortly after yesterdays best.
Theres not much out there I can’t run on my current setup but Crysis could sure run faster on the newer machines. Even on my rig it’s tough getting smooth 30+FPS on a 1920×1200 single monitor with AA and AF enabled. I can encode/convert video quicker, unpack files quicker, turn on all the bells and whistles on the latest games at high resolutions etc. with a newer setup as well. Its not what I can run, it’s how quickly I run it.

Thats not even including any server type GPU’s or processors, just mainstream consumer parts. Of course I could build an $800 budget machine and still do most things I can on my current rig, only slower. If your not interested in building your own rig,keeping everything updated, and overclocking the Hell out of everything theres nothing wrong with that. Thats what Dell is for!
You MinUs! Then what the h3ll is this.

Yes TitoSlave that is true…
Oh so you tryin’ to run Crysis. LoL.
And all this time I thought you were going to say you were going to Cure cancer with that machine
@18 Stewie
Your system is probably seeing it as 500 mhz due to power saving. Right click on your desktop and go to properties. Click on power saving and change the scheme to “always on”. Then apply those settings and right-click on my computer to check your CPU speed. It should have jumped up to full speed. Once you are in the “always on” mode, you can still change the time settings to turn your monitor off, or go into standby, etc without losing the speed. The key thing is to be on power saving mode. I’ve had this problem with AMD CPU’s before and that has always fixed it. Let us know how it goes!
I only cure cancer with my setup on the weekends. I need a 5Ghz Octacore to cure cancer full-time! I think with the release of these DDR3 sticks I can cure herpes though.
Stevie…..change the fsb in the bios the board will then run the cpu as it should…..Power saving jeeeeeeeeeez!!
nice show on ddr3’s part. its time for its dominance. ddr2 glory hole days are over.
Stevie….muddyfox is right…other than that you might have to upgrade your mobo bios so it supports you processor properley…check your mobo website for a newer bios version that supports your 2700+
I like the fact that certain things are becoming oobsolute before they arrive on the market
octa cores suck, 16 cores ftw!!!
Geez, why are those ppl so buzzed about DDR3 RAM, cpu instruction cache with jump predictions and data cache with read predictions are working so well now, DDR3 speedup is barely seen on real life benchmarks and not so impressing in synthetic ones. The real deal is cpu ang gpu with it’s memory, there should be DDR3 not sticked in your MB.
I have the newest version bios available. it is most likely the mobo as it used to read it fine, but now it doesnt. I tried to manually change it but its pretty much like overlocking, the system becomes unstable and the cpu gets freakin hot
Its not the power saving thing either
shĩtty a$$ mobo
Seems like someone thinks that the world have infinite supply of electric power?
No it does not have that!
Unless that chip uses less power it will consume more power.
Using 1000 Watts PSU are gonna soon make someone biuld more of the dangerous Atomic power plants.
Anyone heard of power saving?
one 9 watt power save light bulb have the same effect as one on 40 watt.
Guess what, a 1000 watt PSU (some people have that) could power 111 power saving light bulbs.
wich have the same effect as 111, 40 watt light bulbs.
Now you know your 1000 Watt Psu uses as much electricity as a power saving nightbourhood.
LOL:)
kingstone forever man iv been using it like forever, best ram for the cash i think, but this is stupid buying the latest doesn’t give us so much power as u think, my Pc far from perfect but i can play all the games in decent Fps (60-100)
i dont need the 200+ Fps its just for show off nothing more, but guess pll want to sow off and waste money.
Q:why is the Pc industry like this?
A:CUZ MORONS LIKE TerMin4T0R, Kamo & Co. BUY IT as soon as it gets out
if they don’t buy things worth a fortune for 5-10% more power (show off)the industry wouldn’t be like this, company’s would make products that would stay in the market longer (not like now, u buy the newest thing and next morning guess what? new sH*it came out and teh thing u bought for 500$ is now 250$)
So f all show off’s u messed up the f industry thx a lot morons (guess money cant buy brains)
It is not “MY Light BILL” anyways
@33 It’s not like those 1000Watt power supplies are running at that amount constantly, if ever. Most people that put 1KW PSU’s arent even using half of that. And the world does have an infinite supply of electric. Ever see a windmill? Or go rub your feet on the carpet and make your own electric current. In any case, not to worry. Theres only so much wattage a wall socket can supply(around 1400 watts I believe) so the never ending race to get more wattage will soon end. Its mainly marketing hype to have the most powerful PSU. Most newer components actually require less energy than their older counterparts. But I hear ya on the whole save the whales, save the snails, save a tree bit.
@34 The industry in general puts out different levels of product in all price ranges. It’s not like consumers don’t have a choice. If you can’t afford the GTX they also offer the cheaper GT. Can’t swing for the fancy new 3Ghz xtreme quad core? No problem, they offer a downclocked quad with a locked multiplier for half the price.
It just sounds like your mad at people who like to have the best in their rig. Don’t worry-we’re not hurting you in any way and the industry will continue to invent new groundbreaking products as well as middle of the road products for people such as yourself that don’t need to “show off”.
And just to show you how completely stupid your entire rant is, check out what $8500 got you years ago when PC’s were no where near as popular and there were hardly any “showoffs”. Basic economics, supply and demand. Learn it with your big brain.

I wonder if putting something like this in your setup feels like some nice pǔssy or a tittie motorboat
I wonder if putting something like this in your setup feels like some nice pu$$y or a tittie motorboat
WoopdyDooDaaa….
Why get lots of ram when xp can only use around 3GB.
@ TitosSlave what OS do you use Vista !
im runnin a yotacore i invented myself using a nanotech essentials toolkit.
Basically it means my setup is better than all of yours put together.
pwned!
@ 41
considering that youre running vista on your setup my athlon xp 2700+ kickz ur pcs a$$ with xp
not to mention that my pc reads it as athlon xp 1500+ @ 500MHz
I love a majorly OC’d top of the line system as much as the next guy, but I think uber fast PC’s may actually hinder proper game development. I played HL2 on an 800mhz rig and I bloody loved it. I have since seen many games that look much, much worse and yet will not run unless its 3ghz/dual core. Making good games that scale properly is an art, and having uber fast and extremely expensive pc’s transfers the cost of good development from the game developers to the cost of your pc.
Timings are an unbelievable 9-10-9-27! WOW thats bad.

Beat that BEEOTCHES!
—————-
I already did. A QUAD CPU motherboard with each of the cpu’s 4GHz. Kingston 16GB Fully Buffered ECC DDR2-667 xw4300 ram memory (just one of these sticks smokes a hole in this memory stick, and they come in 4GB sticks) I have 2 cards that allow me to add up to 240 hard drives in a Raid 3 formation with each being able to be 1 terrabyte in size, though I only have 6 terrabytes filled. My pipe is 18mbps down with 12mbps up and costs me $80. a month for the connection. Have an HD compliant 21dpi Optiquest monitor that gives me the same picture as an LCD. With four X20 dvd writer/re-writers and an X-Fi Sound blaster audio card.
Now dont you feel pretty stupid for starting this whizzing contest of who has the best system TerMin4T0R? And I would bet that there are members here that have systems that would make even mine look slow. So go back and play with your jack in the box and when you get a real system, then you can start bragging.
stewie
do you even know what a yottacore is? Probably not, because im the only one with one and I will NEVER sell my secrets. A yotta is another name for Quadrillion. While all you noobs are bragging about your quad core im smokin lightning on my quadrillion core.
UNTOUCHABLE
pwnd!
I want to see some benchmarks comparing low latency DDR2 800Mhz (4-4-4-12) Vs this new high latency DDR3-2000Mhz (9-10-9-27). Somehow I don’t think it’s worth the trouble or cost of adaptation. DDR2 took a long time to be uniformly adopted and I see DDR3 taking even longer. It’s cool though none the less.
i see more nerd people
