Gingle Releases Triple-Channel DDR3 Memory Kits for Intel Core i7 Processors

Gadget Advisor — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 23:27:20 +0000

Gingle has announced the launch of its triple-channel DDR3 memory kits for Intel Core i7 processors. Gingle’s new RAM modules are available in 3 GB (1 GB x 3) and 6 GB (2 GB x 3) variations as well as 1600MHz and 1800MHz speeds. All variations share the same stock timings (8-8-8-24). While Gingle’s 16000MHz memory requires 1.65v, it is interesting that Gingle’s 1800MHz modules do not conform to Intel’s recommended voltage, with a 1.8v requirement. Pricing information has not yet been made public, but it is sure to follow soon.

Shortly after the release of OCZ’s triple-channel DDR3 memory kits, Corsair has now officially announced their offerings. The DDR3 RAM, specifically designed for Intel’s next-generation Core i7 processors, will be available in six different variations with capacities of 3GB and 6GB and speeds of 1333MHz, 1600MHz, and 1866MHz. The models and their corresponding prices are listed below:

Model #	Specification	Price
TR3X6G1866C9DF	6GB, 1866MHz DOMINATOR Kit with Airflow Fan	$475
TR3X3G1866C9DF	3GB, 1866MHz DOMINATOR Kit with Airflow Fan	$250
TR3X6G1600C8D	6GB, 1600MHz DOMINATOR Kit	$300
TR3X3G1600C8D	3GB, 1600MHz DOMINATOR Kit	$175
TR3X6G1333C9	6GB, 1333MHz Kit	$230
TR3X3G1333C9	3GB, 1333MHz Kit	$120

The Dominator kits have more advanced, finned heatsinks, while the others have standard heat spreaders. The 1866MHz models provide higher clock speeds than any of the OCZ triple-channel kits, but Corsair does not state whether or not the kits maintain the 1.65V limit above which Core i7 processors may be damaged.

Corsair’s DDR3-1333 kits are immediately available. The DDR3-1600 models will be soon released also. The DDR3-1866 kits, however, will be available shortly before the Core i7 official release, which is scheduled for November 17th.
