Hey,

Just seen these for £50.69....

8GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-10666 RipjawsX Series for Sandy Bridge (7-7-7-21) Dual Channel kit

Item model number: F3-10666CL7D-8GBXH

Better than the above and a bargain at the price?

hmm...

So out of the G-Skill which is the better. Tighter timings (7.7.7.21) @ 1333mhz or Slightly looser timings (7.8.7.24) @ 1600mhz

??

Look Here for what will fit under Noctua stuff but i can tell you that those 2 most def will

also worth considering corsair Doms or vengace espesicaly with there new white design

Thanks for your reply...

Not to fussed about the looks of ram. Just performance. Not that it really is not an issue how it looks. But to be honest from what I've seen so far

they all look good.

Still wondering about this though....

I've decided to go for 8GB of this...

Mushkin Redline 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 7-8-7-24

Type: DDR3

Voltage: 1.65V

Speed Spec: PC3-12800

Frequency: 1600MHz

Capacity

Kit Type: Dual Kit

Module Size: 4GB

Timings

tCL: 7

tRCD: 8

tRP: 7

tRAS: 24

Hopefully this will be a good choice?

I think I'm correct in saying I should be able to OC this RAM to 2000Mhz with looser timings?

 

[TicTac]

Yer, looks good to me

mushkin are a great brand!

 

[tinytomlogan]

Id have got Mushkin with my own cash

 

[Bented]

Will the 1600 OC to higher?

There is a fair chance they would run at same timings at 1866mhz,maybe losen the timings a little.

2133mhz is the next step.9,11,9 or 9,11,9,27.....Depends on how lucky you got with the rams
