Holton0289 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 As soon as x99 hits what can we expect from corsair since DDR4 will be new for the consumer market? Im hoping to see something as soon as its released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOODedAssault Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 2400mhz 16-16-16-39. Sounds odd. Suppose timing means nothing till we see benchmarks tho lol. I'm hoping ddr4 is more for power efficiency. Seeing that 1.2v is nice. It'd be great if performance was about same but better power usage. Then I wouldn't have to upgrade :).

Holton0289 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 wow, whats up with corsair search function? it even has ddr4 in the title!? 2400mhz is interesting since its not a massive bump from the 2133 the chip can handle natively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holton0289 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 do you think we will see this on release date of the x99, maybe a little before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Technobeard Posted July 18, 2014 Administrators Share Posted July 18, 2014 Hood: Sounds fine to me. Every time DDR evolves, voltages have gone down, speeds and timings have gone up. Holton: Not sure what you're referring to when you mentioned the search function? Regarding speeds - looking at previous DDR evolutions it's always taken time for speeds to increase.

Holton0289 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 i tried searching before i made the post, search diddnt return what i was looking for. Thanks for linking to the post and for the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tea drinker Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Hmmm, it looks bulky for a low voltage part, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Technobeard Posted July 20, 2014 Administrators Share Posted July 20, 2014 Hmmm, it looks bulky for a low voltage part, no?How so? Looks just like DDR3 modules (other than the new notch position). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nichrome Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 But these are most likely DDR4s. Why I say so? Because I remember some Corsair pictures posted a little while ago from their show off in Somewhere, and DDR4s has been there on this plastic standing.

Administrators Technobeard Posted July 21, 2014 Administrators Share Posted July 21, 2014 No, I'm asking - Why do you think they are "bulky"? Is it the heat spreader design or something? Yes, the pic is of DDR4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emissary42 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 But these are most likely DDR4s. Judging by the model name those are: CMD = Corsair Dominator Platinum (most people probably can tell that just from a look at the heatspreader) 16G = 16GB X4 = DDR4 M4 = 4 modules (-> 4x4GB) 2400 = DDR4-2400 (1200MHz, 2400MT/s) C16 = CL16 The heatspreader is your standard Dominator Platinum series one, that was also used for the Dominator Platinum DDR3 models. So its use is not related to the XMP voltage but the memory series of this specific kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotto Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 ASUS Rampage V Extreme, maybe? ;)I think i'll hold off on the ddr4 ram for a year. it probily won't be any faster until they release enthusius grade ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarCitizenGuy Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I think i'll hold off on the ddr4 ram for a year. it probily won't be any faster until they release enthusius grade ram This must be said, because far too often the advice is given that it is "better" to wait. 1. I much rather pay a few bucks here or there to get what I want, when I want it. Nothing replaces that feeling. Not only that feeling, but the feeling of being the cool kid on the block. So I suggest to everyone that is is in fact "better" to not wait. 2. In regards to some of those who warn against 1st Gen parts, and early adoption issues in regards to Quality or Reliability, I have to argue that honestly I now (after decades of doing this) prefer to get 1st Gen components, if anything just to see what is what. Also, I have seen several times that 1st Gen products are no different or worse than following revisions or versions. The personality of the "1st's" attracts me. 3. DDR4 Ram pricing could always go up. We live in a World where resources are scared. Doubt pricing will go up but if you think that you are going to save a few bucks by not adopting new and proven Technology (It is proven in the Labs and through QA before it ever hits shelf, especially with Corsair) than you are probably going to be sad to find out that factoring everything in will eventually show you that you will not save anything. Especially, if you are like me and value your time. So yeah, I could go on but there is probably a bigger or better argument for not-waiting vs waiting. Also, in a year we will probably already be saving for DDR5 LOL. Okay, okay maybe not that fast but you guys get my drift.

gotto Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 ASUS Rampage V Extreme, maybe? ;) I looked on mine and it's DDR3. no problems it's quick enough for me. DDR 4 ram is gonna require whole new boards to be built. hopefully i'm alive if and when they release optical computers :p: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emissary42 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I looked on mine and it's DDR3. Then yours probably is a Rampage II, III or IV? Those were DDR3 models. Rampage V Extreme is not out there yet (LGA2011-3, Intel X99). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I was away for a few days, sorry for not responding before now. For me, with all the improvements in energy consumption I wouldn't have felt that the heat dissipation capacity of the previous generation would be necessary. It's just an expectation of petiteness, not anything hard and fast. Cheers. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keltik Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I think it's going to be at least a year or so until we see ddr4 at decent timings and prices.. I'm building right now using x97 and ddr3, picked up 266mhz cl11 for half the price of the ddr4.. As much as I would love to have the latest and greatest I don't think ddr4 is worth it for me (gaming), I don't believe games are bottlenecked by ram at all, even going from 1600mhz to 3000mhz you only see a couple of fps at most.
