G.Skill intros new 1.35V DDR3 memory
G.Skill has introduced its new "ECO" ultra low voltage memory modules today. Specifically designed to be coupled with Intel's Lynnfield Core i5 and Core i7 processors, the ECO memory runs at only 1.35V. This is 18% less VDIMM than the current standard voltage (1.65V) of DDR3 memory made for Intel's newly released platform.
G.Skill says its new memory not only offers power efficiency, but it is also friendlier to the environment, boasts lower operating temperatures as well as improved stability, and ultimately results in customers saving money. The company's internal testing showed that memory running at 1.35V produced 16% lower temperatures than 1.65V memory.
The new modules are currently available in six different configurations. All of them are dual-channel kits comprised of two 2GB modules. Three of the six kits run at 1333MHz, while the remaining pairs run at 1600MHz, and each frequency range is offered with various timings.

| howzz1854 on October 17, 2009 1:44 PM | i wonder if this translates to better overclocking ability. |
| mailpup on October 17, 2009 2:02 PM | For what it's worth the only RAM brands I've used so far have been Corsair, Crucial and G. Skill, not that other brands of RAM aren't good too. I have no complaints with G. Skill. |
| Badfinger on October 18, 2009 9:08 AM | I am using G. Skill DDR2 on my PC, over a year, not one
issue. I haven't had RAM crap out in several years. I've always been happy with Mushkin, also. |
