    The next week try a 1600Mhz 3x4GB kit to see if we are lucky ...

    Thank You very much wevsspot and receive my best regards

      I think that is a very wise decision!

      Unless you're doing memory intensive computing you'll never notice the difference between DDR3 16000 and DDR3 2000 in day to day computing tasks. What is important is stability and capacity. 12Gb of DDR3 1600 should get you through anything you can throw at it.

        Thanks for the support wevsspot... We needed advice because with 2000 Mhz have always had problems.

        Recive my best regards

        EDIT:
        Bad lucky Wevspot . We have tested the kit in 1600 and does the same error.
        In the end I am left with one kit of 3x2-2000 Mhz pending new BIOS and new memories.

        Receive my best regards

          Oh no no no, trust me, I tested these yesterday, 6-9-6-24 was naked-eye much noticeably faster than 9-9-9-24. I'm sure 8-8-8-24 would not compare either. If it did, we wouldn't be able to price it higher than 8-8-8-24 memory. The DDR3-2000 CL6 kits are using the best chips on the market. They are worth the $. Check out other brand 8-8-8-24, it is probably the same price as this 6-9-6-24 kit. So it is a no brainer, and that's probably why they go out so fast.

          Don't forget we under rate our memory, so actual results may be better than stated, especially after you burn them in. tRCD can drop with a little little more voltage or no problem at DDR3-1940 based on my testing. These are new design chips, so although tRCD is high, performance is still very good.

          Without a cooler, you should be fine as long as the case is not HOT inside. But if overclocking, I would suggest using the cooler to keep DRAM temps down at all times.

          Some action! =D

          Comparison!:

          Dominator GTs, CPU slightly clocked higher, but latency is still much higher and copy speed much lower than our new CL6 kit
          Compare to our Perfect Storm CL8 @ DDR3-2200, pretty much matching it but 200MHz less! CPU is also clocked higher..

          We only go forward in technology.

            Thanks for the support GSKILL TECH and wevspot
            For the moment I have one kit F3-16000CL6T-6GBPID (2GBx3) and my computer technician informed me for future expansion will have memory and BIOS

            I sincerely appreciate Your behavior.



            If you are interested to photograph the six GB BIOS tell me and I'll do

              I have noticed on that first screenshot you are running PCH core on 1.16v instead of default 1.05v.

                Ranxerox,

                Please accept my apologies for getting off track from your original problem of not being able to run 12Gb of even the DDR3 1600 speed memory. Can you please give us an update on your current status and let us see if we can help you out.

                Kind regards,

                JW

                  Thank You wevspot
                  Tomorrow I get the PC. Has only one KIT F3-6GBPID 16000CL6T (2GBx3)

                  I will register the motherboard, and discuss my problem with the 12 GB to see if they take new BIOS with MSI

                  My technician did the test with the memory [RL] F3-12800CL9T-12GBRL (4Gx3) and still did not work ... 10 times switch off 1 time

Many people are waiting for these, but only 6 or less people will get them this month! =D The people that want to know this info probably won't even see this post. haha

                    Only one kit left at Newegg now.
                    (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231374)

                    Found 10 Kits in stock over at MemoryC in Ireland here:
                    http://www.memoryc.com/computermemor...ncetriple.html MemoryC will ship to the US. They also properly strip out the VAT is US bound orders. Their international shipping to the EU and outside the EU to the US is very reasonable.


                    BTW, F3-16000CL6T-6GBPID kit run cool as compared to some equivalents from Muskin and Corsair. Outside of Corsair or a custom, these kits have my favorite heatsinks of just about any memory maker. Muskin heatsinks are crappy IMO, Even the new Blackline heatsinks are terrible in comparison because the simply fall off after a few insertions. Your memory will stay cool at the rated speed with even the slightest airflow.

                    Currently installed in:
                    EVGA SR-2
                    ASUS Rampage III
                    ASUS Rampage II GENE

                          I send one question to ustech@gskillusa.com and They answer me this.

                          You will need to adjust the QPI Voltage to stabilize 12GB. Once you find the proper voltage it should be stable.
                          And I question
                          What should I set voltage range the QPI?
                          and They answer me
                          It should be around 1.30V, but every CPU is slightly different even the same model 980X, so to be precise and not damage anything, please have your tech test the exact stable voltage your CPU needs to operate 12GB at that frequency and timing. This is the only way for a 100% stable system.

                          Once it is stable, your system should be VERY fast. This is our top triple channel kit right now, the performance can not be reached by any other brand.
                          I think that rather than adjust QPI have to play with the timing.

                            Did you set those XMP-2000 timings in BIOS? Timings are pre-determined, where as QPI Voltage depends on your CPU, and is a variable only you will know. This is why you need to test for the stable QPI, we already know timings are 6-9-6-24

                            Thank you

                              When I will receive the kit I?ll adjust QPI.
                              In the BIOS It marks the XMP 1992 MHz

                              If I?ll have problems with two kits I will Change to Asus Rampage III Extreme
                              My Tech thinks I have bad processor
