Tw3x2g1600c9d

[Goldsmith]

I can't find this kit on corsair's website

TW3X2G1600C9D

 

also the sticky thread that indicates part number meaning didn't come handy for me

here: http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?p=413430#post413430

 

 

I want to break down that part number

 

and also, I'm willing to buy an ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO Motherboard & a phenom 555 CPU

can I run four modules (2 kits of TW3X2G1600C9D 4 GB in total) @ 1333 7-7-7-20?

 

a friend of mine has this kit (only 1 kit) and it works fine for him

same CPU but different mobo, he can do 1333 7-7-7-20 easily, but will the memory controller handle the 4 DIMMS at this speed and timings?

 

 

I almost forgot,

how could a "G" at the end of the part number make a difference

and what would be the best revision of this kit

 

searching in the forum came up with a thread where someone was asking about XMP for this kit, does it really support that (is it engineered for Intel platforms?)

i didn't think of it that way, i've always thought it's the right one for an AMD platform as they are rated for 1.8v

 

another thing, I'm from Egypt and this is one of the best options i have right now

i can get those for about 52$ per kit (we usually pay much more than you do for the exact same thing so it's a good deal in my situation)

You never want to use TWO RAM kits as they are not guaranteed to function together without issues per the Memory Guide link in my signature.

 

The TW3X2G1600C9D appears to require 1.8 V and is only 2x 1 GB. modules. You'd be better IMO using a RAM kit of 2x 2GB. instead of four DIMMs to obtain 4 GB. total RAM if you are looking for lower latencies or overclocking. Check the options from the AMD Phonem II approved memory list in the link below. I understand that things are different in Egypt but you don't want to spend your money only to have PC problems...

Mixing and matching kits is never recommended or guaranteed. As for running two kits at 1333MHz 7-7-7-20, you may be able to however most likely you will not be able to. Most likely you will need to run them at 1333MHz 9-9-9-24.

alright first of all thanks for your reply

 

I have to reasonable options

VS2GB1333D3 (for 40$)

or

TW3X2G1600C9D (for 52$)

 

I wanted this kit: (CMP4GX3M2B1600C8) in the first place

but it's overpriced and it exceeds my budget (they are sold for 140$)

 

so as you can see, this kit (TW3X2G1600C9D) is the best choice for me considering price/performance

 

still one last thing to know, I can manage to return them if they caused any problems without any loss or return expenses (retail store near by and i can make such deal)

putting this into equation makes things a little different ha!

 

all I need to know right now is that, will two of this kit work at 1333 with a phenom 555 CPU?

and are they designed for Intel or AMD?

and why can't I find it on Corsair's website, I need data sheet, I want to know what series does it belong to

I'm confused, some sites say they are rated @ 1.8 v

others say only 1.65 v

my friend say that they run stable at 1.65 (didn't make any tweaks)

Thanks for help

that said, I'm buying 2*VS2GB1333D3
