Nice review dude. Hopefully these will his the UK soon. Its about time that we got some real cheap performance DDR3.

 

[PV5150]

Wow what a nice piece of kit with an equally attractive price. Excellent review as always webbo

 

[Mr. Smith]

That stuff is bargain basement cheap! DDR3 for the masses.

I think you were overly harsh giving the packaging 6, all my ram has come in blister packs from corsair, cellshock to ocz...

 

[w3bbo]

It wasn't just the blister pack. The paper insert was exactly that - paper. The printing on the ram modules also looked cheap. I had to mark it like I saw it I'm afraid BUT and its a big BUT...

Who cares what the packaging is like when it comes in at a thrid of the cost of equivelent ram!

What version of bios do u use on the Striker 2, the latest 0704?

 

[w3bbo]

The XFX 790i Ultra was used for this test.

 

[rrjwilson]

Where can I buy this RAM?

I may have to eat part of your PC if you do not tell me. I may be a vegtarian but silicom is not MEAT

If these are less than £140 then that is cheaper than the OCZ plantinum EBW PC3-16000 too.

 

[w3bbo]

Because we like to bring you the latest and greatest kit, like most things we review at OC3D, it's pre-release but I'm sure it will be available in UK stores soon enough. IF you are really desprate then try here :

I was on the way then Webbo Metal dentures in hand.

I'm kinda crabby because I've been waiting for parts from WCUK (out of stock poor chaps) for my build and the modding has gone cold turkey. So I'm buying up the extra funkiness for my build.

I've become so deranged I was contemplating a Killer K1

 

[w3bbo]

Killer NC = waste of money imo for any benifits it provides - better to spend the extra dosh you have on more ram - bigger/faster HD's

^ the truth. or just upgrade your broadband to a package with a lower contention ratio or sommit.

Thats is the problem though. I already know that but I've become so frustrated with waiting for the parts I'm considering mental things now just to have something to tinker with

Hi Joost, welcome to the forum. Good news about a UK stockist

 

[w3bbo]

This stuff will fly off the shelves if enthusiasts have any sense!

 

[Lynx]

wow...

im speechless

looks nice to :yumyum:

 

[Daza]

Still waiting for these to hit the uk, anyone shed any light on it.

 

[w3bbo]

Still no availability in UK.

However I had to RMA these sticks back to CSX as one started producing errors. I have updated the review to take into account the amazing turn around and service CSX provide.

Read the update on the conclusion if you are interested .

 

[FarFarAway]

Actually that makes it a bloody impressive kit and a steal of a deal

Good work from CSX I say

Nice review as always matey
