Ninjalane posted a review on the GSKill TridentX 2660Mhz CL11 Dual Channel Memory



High performance memory can be found in a variety of different formats and depending on the platform one type can be faster than the other. For instance you can often offset the speed of low latency memory modules by increasing the frequency provided the memory controller and motherboard can handle the overclock.
In this review we will be looking at a very special DDR3 memory kit from GSKill called the TridentX. These modules come in a variety of speeds ranging from 1600Mhz up to a blistering 2800Mhz with a price premium to accompany the binning effort. The modules featured in this review are rated at 2666Mhz (PC3 21300) with a latency of CAS 11 at an operating voltage of 1.65v. Timings and voltage are configurable by enabling one of the two XMP profiles or will follow JEDEC standards in the default configuration.

The GSKill TridentX is a third generation memory module designed for the Z77 and Ivy Bridge processors and follows on the success of the popular RipjawsX and RipjawsZ designed for Sandy Bridge.
