Tech Link (Memory): GeIL USA, Inc. announced the new “Esoteria Series”

OverclockersClub has a scoop on GeIL*'s newest RAM. I haven't seen any official release yet, but as per the source, it's an enthusiast-focused memory, with speed, overclockability, and beautiful looks. I mean, carbon fiber on the heatspreader, sounds great. I can't wait to see a review. GeIL, if you are reading this, send me a kit!

OverclockersClub - Esoteria, or Esoteric, means specialized or advanced in nature, available only to a narrow circle of people that are highly knowledgeable. Like the name suggests, this Series of memory is specialized in nature, designed with the enthusiasts in mind. Racing-inspired, the Esoteria Series is screaming for speed while boasting real carbon-fiber integrated onto the heat-spreaders. The carbon fiber is made by renowned aftermarket BMW Tuner-Vorsteiner with dry vacuumed form inspired by F1 racing technology. This is no wannabe imitation of fake carbon fiber. Each of the Esoteria carbon fiber heat-spreader requires being hand crafted for proper fitment. GeIL didn’t just stop at the looks. After all, it is what’s under the hood that counts. Optimized SPD to couple with the high-grade chips used in the Esoteria, overclockability has been increased while retaining stability. Due to the advanced and complexity nature of this product, it will be shipped in limited quantities.

Tech Link (Memory): Geil Ultra Plus 1gb PC6400

I stumbled upon a tech site that I am not familiar with, XSreviews. They seemed like a pretty decent site, I have yet to read more articles before I can say if it's good or bad, well, according to my taste. Anyway, they review a good memory from GeIL* which used to be one of my trusted memory manufacturer during the DDR1 days. Check out the site...

Conclusion

The Ultra Plus 6400 kit from Geil is an absolutely fantastic overclocker. It has crazy tight timings at stock speeds, but loosen them up and crank up the voltage and you will have some monster overclocks on the horizon. The fact that this is a 1gb kit will hold back those looking to game with this kit but anyone looking to spec up a solid Athlon64 or P4 rig would be well advised to think of the Geil Ultra series 1gb kit.

Tech Link (Overclock): Geil Adds Voltage from Outside

Well this is a good news. Might not be something "new" since I've seen and used to be an OCZ DDR Booster user back in the s478 days, but still, this makes one think about GeIL*'s dedication to the enthusiast community. I have always been a fan of GeIL ever since I first laid hands on my trusty Value-RAM when DDR400 was very tough to find.

Geil Adds Voltage from Outside

It is not a secret that one of the problems that the memory module makers, who overclock their products to the maximum, have is insufficient supply of power to the memory slots. The manufacturers have tried to improve the situation in various ways: OCZ introduced special device that improves the quality of power for memory modules as well as allows to put higher voltage, whereas other memory module vendors worked with companies like Asustek Computer to improve memory power supply circuitries.

Geil went further! It added special power connector to its memory modules to allow them to operate at up to 3.0V voltage. It is unclear for how long memory modules can survive under these circumstances, but it is evident that with such a high overvoltage it is possible to expect maximum overclockability, provided that you have a high-performance power supply.



Currently the external voltage regulator for memory modules is still a concept and the company does not discuss speed-bins of products featuring the technology.

It is interesting to note that OCZ has already attempted to increase voltage for memory modules with its DDR booster, moreover, the company has patent pending on external power supply for memory modules.
