GeIL Launches Black Dragon Evo One DDR2 Memory Series

Jimmy 2004 · Nov 20, 2007

GeIL has just unveiled its new Black Dragon Evo One DDR2 memory series, which is available in both dual- and quad-channel kits and ships with impressive heatsinks which use Maximised Thermal & Conduction Dissipation (MTCD) technology. The modules are built using eight-layered PCBs featuring FBGA DDR2 IC chips, and are available in a selection of twelve kits - 2GB, 4GB and 8GB, running at either 800MHz or 1066MHz with timings of 4-4-4-12 and 5-5-5-15 respectively. All of the Black Dragon Evo One kits come with a lifetime warranty.

whats the point of "quad channel" ?

WhiteLotus · Nov 20, 2007

a selling point. and maybe a futreproof idea. the way things are going i would be suprised to see default quad channels in the future

WarEagleAU · Nov 20, 2007

8GBs of memory at pretty respectable timings. Im sure these are premium priced memory though. Also, FBGA ics? Who makes those? I was hoping for Md9s.

mandelore · Nov 20, 2007

lol, i just think thats pretty daft that picture

DrunkenMafia · Nov 20, 2007

I thought black dragon was geils performance type ram and yet they release a set of DDR800 @ cas 5!!! what the....

You can just go and buy the generic geil with the same timings as that...

Or some D9's

The 800MHz is 4-4-4-12. Re-read the newspost -if it's still confusing I'll change it

The CAS 5 refers to the modules that run at 1066MHz.

GeIL rocks. That's all I have to say.

black light burns · Nov 20, 2007

good ol GEIL. I just wish it had D9's... If it did i think it could make its way into my upgrade list.

WarEagleAU · Nov 20, 2007

Im assuming then it doesnt. Im still not clear on the FBGA's or FGBA's or whatever its called.

TheGuruStud · Nov 20, 2007

Geil and Gskil FTW forever!!!

I always buy these brands over others, especially that Corsair crap.
They charge you like a 100 bucks more the exact same chips.
I don't know why people pay it.

That's just the SPD. AKA: The timings it boots at before you manually set them.

FBGA refers to how the IC's connect to the pcb. Fine Ball Grid Array

Back on topic: I thought remembered seeing the Evo One name last year sometime. They had prototypes on display. They had their own external power. Power came from a floppy connector, and you adjusted the voltage with a small screw. I still want to see this in production. Takes one worry out of mobo selection.
