Our testing is conducted using an Intel Core i7 5960X processor with an Asus X99 Deluxe motherboard.
The G.Skill Ripjaws4 2400MHz 32GB (F4-2400C15Q-32GRK) memory kit's XMP configuration is: 2400MHz 15-15-15-35-2 @ 1.20V.
DDR4 Memory Test System:
- Processor: Intel Core i7 5960X Engineering Sample (3.5GHz all-core turbo).
- Motherboard: Asus X99 Deluxe (BIOS 1601).
- Graphics Card: Asus R9 280X Matrix Platinum 3GB.
- System Drive: 500GB Samsung 840 SSD.
- Power Supply: Seasonic Platinum 1000W.

This kit uses Samsung ICs as evidenced by the “3500” in the serial numbers. Hynix would be “3400” and Micron “3300” for G.Skill DDR4. Probably the initial batches were all Hynix but these days it seems for all the RAM vendors that Hynix ICs are being reserved for high end kits with specs that only Hynix can pass (3000MHz 15-15-15, 3200MHz 16-16-16 etc).
Thanks for that information, Calvin. Where did you find the info?
