G.Skill's F1-3200DSU2-1GBLE
A while ago, just as G.Skill were about to start selling modules in the UK via a few distributors, a friend got them in touch with me with a view to evaluating their F1-3200DSU2-1GBLE 1GB dual-channel kit. The modules were duly dispatched and I've had them for quite a while, without doing much in the way of reviewing them. So my apologies to Joany and everyone else at G.Skill for the delay. They've since started selling a wide range of module kits in this country, from the mundane to the crazy (DDR600 sticks). The F1-3200DSU2-1GBLE was the in-demand kit at the time, being based on TCCD ICs with an apparently very impressive PCB that allowed good timings at high memory frequency.They're supplied in a basic blister pack and the modules have no heatspreaders on them, just a couple of stickers to let you know what you're running. The SPD table is programmed with two speeds: DDR400 at 2-2-2-5 and DDR550 at 2.5-3-3-7. Nominal voltage is 2.75 for both speeds, just like the Corsair XL.
Don't be concerned about the lack of heatsinks on the modules; they give you little, if any, benefit at the voltage range the TCCD can stomach. The DRAMs simply don't get hot enough for them to matter much.
