Ordered G.Skill 64GB 3000 MHz. DDR RAM from HIDevolution

@bloodhawk @Mr. Fox @Papusan

These guys never stop to surprise me.

3 weeks ago Mr. Papusan told us that G.Skill now has a 3000 MHz. Kit coming soon.

So I searched on newegg but I couldn't find it for sale.

I then contacted HIDevolution to ask them about it and was told that it will be available for sale in May.

a few weeks passed and I totally forgot about it......

Today I was contacted by HIDevolution telling me that the 3000 MHz. RAM will be available starting from Monday and I will be the first one to have it!

Really surprised that they actually take everything so seriously and kept a tab on my old request and let me know the moment it was available.

 

Sweet!

I might pick a set up later next week from their office. How much was it ?

 

I sent them an email just now asking about the price. I'll let you know brah.

 

Let me know, too.

If the price is right, maybe I'll have you grab some for me, too.

 

@bloodhawk @Mr. Fox

Ted just got back to me, he said they are getting 10x 16GB pieces on Monday.

4 of those go to me so they will have 6 left only for now.

The availability is very limited as we speak they don't know when will they receive the next shipment.

They have not allowed me to advertise the pricing though and asked to contact them via e-mail for inquiries about the price:

I'll just wait and get some later maybe. Thanks, though. I am eager to see how it performs.

 

offcourse, I will show you the benchmarks next week! Can't wait!

 

@Mr. Fox I see you only have 16GB, so if you don't need 64GB, then they will have 2 extra sticks left for sale if you wanna email them to book them

 

Thanks. I just emailed @Ted@HIDevolution to find out about them. I don't need 64GB.

 

KK love you bebe.

Yeah just gave him a call, ill probably end up getting 2 x 16Gb sticks. Quote san is on the way. Darn you dude, right when i thought i was done spending more money on this system.

Would suggest giving him a call. He can go ahead and send you a quote for the same.

 

how can any performance enthusiast resist the temptation of a stock 3000 MHz RAM? These things will enable your machine to fly

 

Sure thing let me know. Ill finish my move to LA this week end. Gonna miss SF

LOL True, but all i do with my system is CUDA stuff and renders (which use the processor)

 

all I do on my machine is surf the web on forums and watch some YouTube videos

but I have a personality flaw in me, I have to have the latest and greatest I cannot ever be contempt with what I have

 

@Mr. Fox @bloodhawk @Papusan @Terrablade

Little teaser for you. The RAM has arrived earlier than expected. They were supposed to be delivered on Monday to HIDevolution but they just got them and Vivian their head of tech support is teasing me

 

She will test them soon and tell me if they work

 

Hehe, I'm picking up mine on Monday if I'm able to get there before they close.

 

they agreed to sell them to you????

 

Lol yeah. But Ted did mention the untested on P870DM-G disclaimer.

 

@Mr. Fox

The RAM works please check your email as I can't post pics from this iPhone

 

Here you go...

 

What do you want for your old chips?

 

Aweaome bro !!!

 

Need to check the current value and give you a discount they are In Brand new condition

 

If they work as expected I will sell my brand new (1 week old) Kingston HyperX 2400 sticks, too. Remember to use NBR Marketplace (or privately use PM). Selling in the open forum is a no-no.

 

Sweet BAJESUS naice.

 

@EmberV @hmscott @Papusan @Mr. Fox @bloodhawk @Prema @Robert James Maisano @Azmodiuz

HIDevolution continue to make me happy every time I deal with them. They under promise and over deliver.

First they said that they will receive the RAM on Monday so hopefully I should get it by next week.

They received it earlier today, tested that it's working and guess what? I already have the tracking number as they shipped it ASAP so I should have it by Sunday or Monday!

And people wonder why I keep recommending them everywhere

 

Got my tracking number, too. I will be out of town next week on business, so I selected the el cheapo snail mail shipping option.

 

whoa! you too?? That is some snappy service man!!

PS: In my experience, USPS is horrible, I never received anything that was shipped through them and ended up getting a refund. I use a freight forwarding address for US purchases. I hope you get luckier than I did.

 

USPS is fine in the USA as long as you don't go normal 'First Class' mail. Priority Mail with a tracking number and delivery confirmation has never let me down. I do prefer FedEx, UPS and DHL, but sometimes they charge more than the price of the product being shipped. I'm pretty sure government run mail service (and everything else run by the government) sucks in every country.

 

yeah seems like USPS is fine in the US but for international shipments, they are horrible

Like I used to have a tracking number, then for like 2 weeks the status wouldn't even change. Then when I contact them they either say it was lost or confiscated by customs

 

LOL when i need to send something to India to my Dad, i just send it to his office, and since it under the Ministry of Home Affairs they never charge any customs and make sure it delivered on time. Specially if its come from USPS.

 

@Mr. Fox

So when are you receiving your chips bro?

 

Tomorrow! Brother @Ted@HIDevolution is sending them overnight to me. Amazing!

Plus the baby monster beast from @danyune is also arriving tomorrow. Too much excitement right now, LOL. It really sucks that I have to go out of town next week. Wish I could stay home and tinker with all of this awesome stuff.

 

huh? How come you are getting them before me when you said when you opted for the slowest USPS delivery option?

 

Well he did say Ted is sending them overnight for him, so I assume that's why

 

no he said......

Hence why I asked him how come now he is getting them overnight? I'm confused.

 

He also said

 

It works nice, guys. Default RAM SPD is 2666 and XMP Profile #2 is 3000. Thanks @Phoenix and @Ted@HIDevolution Brother Ted rocks.

Edit: I see the SPD is programmed to 2400 by default. It was running 2666 when I first installed the modules, so I am assuming it liked my manual BIOS settings for 2666 and used them. Profile #1 is DDR4-3000 CL16 and Profile #2 is CL18.

 

Nice! Do you know how much effect this will have on the Physics Benchmarks?
Cant wait to get mine, just hope i can get out early from work on Monday or Tuesday, they are literally a 20 min drive away.

 

Still need to do more testing, but at first blush it seems to have improved a bit.

 

If possible and if you have the time can you do a FireStrike Physics test?

 

Yes, I'll do that.

XMP Profile #1 is also DDR4-3000 with CL16 versus CL18 for XMP Profile #2. Memory speed sees a small increase, cache speed a minor decrease and no meaningful change in 3DMark 11 physics test.

 

Here is the SPD export from Thaiphoon Burner.

 

With my current 2800 MHZ RAM if I set it to XMP Profile 2 it immediately changes to XMP profile 1 how did you make it stick? Also. CL16 is faster right?

 

That's CAS value at 16 , CL16 Would usually mean 16 across the board on CAS RCD RP.
CAS 16 is definitely a bit better, but not by too much as you see in the screenshots.

 

So XMP profile 1 is better than 2 here

 

Yeah.

 

A little bit. Not enough to make much difference, but all it takes is one point to mean the difference between first and second place. Like Ricky Bobby says, "If you're not first, you're last" LOL.

Your current RAM may not have two profiles. When it automatically flips like that it generally means the profile is not programmed. My HyperX Impact sticks only have a Profile #1 and it automatically changes like you are describing.

I see the SPD is programmed to 2400 by default. It was running 2666 when I first installed the modules, so I am assuming it liked my manual BIOS settings for 2666 and used them.

 

makes sense, mine runs @ 2400 MHz by default profile

 

@Mr. Fox @bloodhawk @Papusan @Terrablade

Got my 3000 MHz. RAM today, talk about fast shipping / delivery.

Mr. Fox, as with my previous 2800 MHz. RAM, the moment I choose XMP Profile 2 it goes back to XMP Profile 1 instantly...

Here are the timings and benchmark, much faster than the 2800 MHz RAM:
