Memory for Core i7

A-Data said to introduce twelve triple channel kits for Core i7 processors

Author: Daniel Möllendorf (Nov 17, 2008) - If one wants to make best use if a Core i7 CPU, three memory modules for triple channel mode are necessary. A-Data is said to offer twelve kits with three modules each.
On tcmagazine.com new info about the twelve A-Data triple channel kits has been published. We adopted the details and put them into a clear chart.

XPG G Series DDR3-1600G3 x 2,048 MiByteDDR3-16009-9-9-241.65 bis 1.75 Volt
XPG G Series DDR3-1333G3 x 1,024 MiByteDDR3-13338-8-8-241.65 bis 1.75 Volt
XPG G Series DDR3-1333G3 x 2,048 MiByteDDR3-13338-8-8-241.65 bis 1.75 Volt
Standard Series DDR3-13333 x 1,024 MiByteDDR3-13339-9-9-281.5 Volt
Standard Series DDR3-13333 x 2,048 MiByteDDR3-13339-9-9-281.5 Volt


All kits are offered with three 1,024 MiByte modules or three 2,048 MiByte modules. Those of the Standard Series are intended for DDR3-1333 mode with high and therefore disadvantageous latencies of 9-9-9-28. Those specs are said to be possible with the default DDR3 voltage of 1.5 volt.

The series on the next level has a "G” in the name. A-Data guarantees a stable operation in DDR3-1333 mode with latencies of 8-8-8-24. The two DDR3-1600 versions are said to run with 9-9-9-24. A-Data specifies a voltage between 1.65 to 1.75 volt. Attention: A voltage above 1.65 volt is said to possibly damage the CPU!

A-Data also offers the "+” series for DDR3-1333 and DDR3-1600 and lowers the latency by one level each. The voltage recommendations match those of the G Series. The two top versions can be identified by the "X” tag. Those are said to run with low latencies of 7-7-7-20 in DDR3-1600 mode. But for this a memory voltage between 1.75 and 1.85 volt is necessary.

A-Data gives, according to tcmagazine.com, a lifetime warranty on all the triple channel memory kits.
