Specifications and Features

So you are an overclocker or extreme computer enthusiasts? known and reputed to go and take the extra mile in an attempt to break new benchmark records? Well for you GSkill offers its latest DRAM modules, the new series DDR3-2200 (low voltage) dual channel memory kit.

G.Skill recently introduced this DDR3-2200 module that is the highest speed of DDR3 DRAM module in the industry. G.Skills new DDR3-2200 DRAM module offers a 2,200MHz clock speed and the kicker is, it does so at CL7-10-10-28 1T timings at a voltage of 1.65V. It is available in 2GBx2 and a kickass 2GBx4 dual channel kits. The memory ICs used are Elpida's Hyper series.

Mind you though, this memory series is intended for usage with Lynnfield Core i7 870 and 860 processors, as we will explain later.

Features:

Main Board	Intel
System	Desktop
System Type	DDR3
M/B Chipset	Intel P55*
CAS Latency	7-10-10-28-2N
Capacity	4GB (2GB x2) / 8GB (2GB x4)
Speed	DDR3-2200 (PC3 17600)
Test Voltage	1.65 Volts
PCB
Registered/Unbuffered	Unbuffered
Error Checking	Non-ECC
Type	240-pin DIMM
Warranty	Lifetime

The kit will be sold with G.Skills Turbulence memory fan to decrease the system temperatures and provide further overclocking headroom during tweaking -- we'll show that one in the photoshoot, but it's a pretty nice looking memory cooler.

Pricing then -- extreme memory comes at a highly cloced price as well, expect roughly 75 USD per 1GB. G.Skill likely produced a limited number of these kits, to show off at demonstration purposes and for the lucky few who can find them in the stores. But head on over to the next page where we'll startup a product photo-shoot after which this article will transform into one big overclocking session. Hey, we know you like it !

G.Skill TridentZ 5 DDR5 5600 CL36 review
G.Skill has prepared very well for launching a new memory standard and has presented three DDR5 series: the Trident Z5 (5600-6400 MHz), the Trident Z5 RGB (the same range as the non-RGB’s), and the Ripjaws S5 (5200-5600 MHz). They all come in 32 GB kits (2 x 16 GB), and their frequency is higher than the base 4800 MHz. Today, we are checking the G.Skill TridentZ5 5600 MHz CL36 DDR5 kit. It’s not the high-end of the series, as even the 6400 MHz CL32 are available, and the 5600 MHz is the lowest frequency you can get from this DDR5 family.

G.Skill Z5i (Mini ITX) chassis review
This time, we're checking out the G.Skill Z5i, the first chassis from a company known the most from the RAM. Some can remember that there's an AIO (Enki) available, as well as the keyboards (like KM360), mice (and mousepad), headsets, or PSUs. The attempt is made in a not-so-popular segment, meaning the Mini-ITX (so that's one of the reasons for the mentioned limit). This choice is a brave one as it's not so easy to create a good product here. Yes, it's gaining the share, but the ATX is dominating (maybe we'll also see something from G.Skill?).
