G SKILL RipjawsX F3-17066 CL7D 2133mhz (Sandybridge) Review

V2011 is the first release of 3DStudio Max to fully support the Windows 7 operating system. This is a professional level tool that many people use for work purposes and our test will show any possible differences between board design today.

Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2011 software offers compelling new techniques to help bring designs to life by aggregating data, iterating ideas, and presenting the results.

Streamlined, more intelligent data exchange workflows and innovative new modeling and visualization tools help significantly increase designers’ creativity and productivity, enabling them to better explore, validate, and communicate the stories behind their designs.

Major new features:

  • Slate: A node based material editor.
  • Quicksilver: Hardware renderer with multithreaded rendering engine that utilizes both CPU and GPU.
  • Extended Graphite Modeling Toolset
  • 3ds Max Composite: A HDRI-capable compositor based on Autodesk Toxik.
  • Viewport Canvas toolset for 3D and 2D texture painting directly in the viewport
  • Object Painting: use 3D geometry as ‘brushes’ on other geometry
  • Character Animation Toolkit (CAT): now integrated as part of the base package
  • Autodesk Material Library: Over 1200 new photometrically accurate shaders
  • Additional file format support: includes native support for Sketchup, Inventor
  • FBX file linking
  • Save to Previous Release (2010)

We render a KitGuru custom created scene at 1920×1080 and record the time taken, lower is better.

By increasing the memory bandwidth and efficiency the taken taken to complete our render is reduced by a couple of seconds.

  1. Great kits, but their UK stock is appalling. can never find anything of theirs anywhere. whats the point ?

  2. Yeah I agree, ive read a lot of positive reviews about their memory, and when ive gone online to buy it, never available. maybe you could find out Zardon if they are actually selling these in specific parts of the world.

  3. Lovethe black PCB design and the heatspreaders are nice. again, i have tried to buy them in the past and just gave up looking and went for corsair who are also great.

  4. Are you sure Zardon these fit under a D14? i had read they wouldnt work.

  5. very nice indeed, great performance now from ram, but I never noticed many real world gains when moving from say 1066 to 1600. seems so small in comparison with a new CPU.

  6. Gskill is pretty easy to get in parts of europe, but UK stock seems poor. I know SCAN used to sell a lot, but sometimes specific ones with tight timings are hard to get, maybe limited stock?

  7. Once I can manage to get a 2600k this will be on my list !

  8. Excellent looking memory, cant find it here either ! GSKILL SORT OUT YOUR SUPPLIERS!

  9. Excellent, nice overclocks too ! how much are they UK ? cant see them on SCAN or OCUK

  10. I see they are doing 2500mhz ram now, or its out soon, thats insane for DDR3

  11. Nice speeds. im still with 1600mhz OCZ which wont go past 1650. ill be looking for some new gear soon. when I get the funds.

  12. http://www.yoyotech.co.uk/brands-products.php?bbid=&ccid=&rpp=30&brandid=229&brandname=G-Skill&component=&category=&keywords=&sortby=

    here is the list of Gskill – we try to bring in most of there range

  13. Thanks, I searched for ‘g skill’ earlier on yoyotech and nothing came up!

  14. Ah you have to put a dash in it for it to work at all! You need to sort out that search engine, must be losing you loads of sales.

  15. who is their distributor in the UK?? grrrrrr

  16. Of course you can’t buy it here! The biggest UK etailers keep competition out by making preferential deals with the biggest brands (Scan and Corsair). There’s no such thing as a free market in the UK, yet, you can get a whole wealth of other brands in Europe (Germany for example) and on Newegg in the US. Blame the etailers! Where are team group, geil, patriot etc?

  17. I seriously don’t get the point of these kits, other then for extreme overclockers.

    I have water cooled system whit a i7 980X @ 4.2GHz (is stable @ 4.4GHz) and i use standard DDR 1600 CL7 memory, why?

    I was getting from a Corsair Dominator GT DDR2000 CL8 kit a +/-1% gain over the DDR1600 CL7 kit i also ordered at the same time.

    SO i send back the the 400 euro kit, hold on to the 100 euro one, and ordered my self a firth GTX480 that came then in to my budget range, and had on average a 20~40% FPS boost.

    Wonder what was the better investment ^_^

  18. Anyone know if these will work on an MSI 870-G45 with an AMD Phenom II X4 965? Or only for sandy bridge intels?

  19. Yeah they will work just maybe not all the full speed. Only certified for intel but that doesn’t really matter

  20. Your CPU did 113,4 Bclock for 2420Mhz ? I want that board and CPU !!
