Conclusion

Our tests have proved that the fine reputation G.Skill enjoys in the overclocking community is well-earned.

The G.Skill F1-4800DSU2-1GBFR kit impressed us with its ability to keep stable at DDR650 frequency without our taking any special stability-improving measures and also with its ability to work close to DDR600 with 2.5-8-3-3-1T timings without mainboard modification. And of course, this kit offers all the advantages of TCCD-based modules, including their ability to substitute BH-5 chips at the lowest timings.

Highs:

• DDR650 at 3.0V voltage
• DDR600 at CR=1T and 3.3V voltage
• Outstanding overclockability
• Configuration flexibility
• Samsung’s TCCD chips
• Reasonable price

Lows:

• Rather a rare product

G.SKILL modules are less widespread in the market than modules from the leading companies like Corsair or Kingston, but you shouldn’t think twice if you spot them in a shop. Just grab them!

The junior model, G.SKILL F1-4400DSU2-1GBFС, doesn’t have the magic properties of the above-mentioned product. But it costs much less.

Highs:

• A relatively inexpensive DDR566 memory kit
• Heat-spreader

Lows:

• Rather rare product

This kit works well and deserves attention from people who are looking for high-quality memory for a midrange computer.
