A-DATA Memory Announcing DDR3 and 1900MHz kits
The rumors I've been hearing are true... A-DATA is officially in the DDR3 memory industry and has announced a super fast 1900MHz DDR3 memory kit with 9-9-9 timings. They also have a 1333MHz kit with 6-6-6-18 timings, a 1600MHz kit with 7-7-7-20 timings and a 1900MHz kit with 9-9-9-24 timings. It should be interesting to note that there 1900MHz kit has a working voltage range of 2.05-2.15, which is pretty toasty on DDR3 kits. I'd suggest active cooling if running that much voltage through any speed DDR3 kit by any brand. No word yet as to what IC's they are using, but it might not be Micron D9's as not too many Micron kits can hit CL6 timings.

DDR3-1900 @ tCL9
Latency-wise equals:
DDR2-844 @ tCL4
But with double theoretical bandwidth.
2.05-2.15v STOCK voltage! Uh-oh...
Luckily, DDR3 doesn't get as scorchy as DDR2 when overvolted.

Isn't the JEDEC standard voltage for DDR2 1.8V? I'm assuming it should be a bit lower for DDR3 so 2V and up sounds like alot...

Compliance with the JESD79-3 JEDEC DDR3 SDRAM standard means 1.5V....So, A-Data running 2.0-2.15V is way over the suggested JEDEC voltage. Nothing wrong with that though as long as iut doesn't fry the modules with long term use. Remember 1900MHz isn't an official JEDEC speed either.Zertz wrote:Isn't the JEDEC standard voltage for DDR2 1.8V? I'm assuming it should be a bit lower for DDR3 so 2V and up sounds like alot...
