Wile EMy rig does exactly what I wanted it to do, and I didn't have to bin a thing or take a blind chance on parts I wasn't sure could do what I wanted. And I paid $130 for my ram kit, btw. ;)

No budget setup does what I want straight out of the box, or else I wouldve bought it

again, you haven't made a single valid point. All you have proven is that these sticks are not for you.

well i think the 2GB stick of gskill that outclocks these was pretty valid.

Are they guarateed to hit the speeds these are advertised at?

Wile EAre they guarateed to hit the speeds these are advertised at?

stock is 2500mhz

as for shatty clocking



s7e9h3n on xs did that stock vcore on a 1.7ghz 12core chip with stock cooling

So, not guaranteed to hit these speeds?

Wile ESo, not guaranteed to hit these speeds?

guaranteed to hit 2500mhz ie 125mhz shy of this kits rating

this kit has a max clock of 29xxmhz same as the 2500mhz gskill kit

But not guaranteed to hit 2625?

Wile EBut not guaranteed to hit 2625?

ok you can play that game and MSI's 790FX board was guaranteed to hit DDR3 2133 said it right on the box. :laugh:

if everything was written out what it would clock to it wouldn't be overclocking anymore it would be running stock speeds. these 2500mhz gskill kits showed better overclocking but due to the lower stock speed they are obviously crap. just like the core i7 920 vs the 930 especially when both get cold. oh and the 875K is way better than the 860 all of these memory records seem to be done on...man its a good thing i always run things with the fastest stock speed at stock overclocking is some crazy game of luck that i could ever be part of....

You still miss the point. It's all about guarantees. It's worth the extra money to some people to not have to worry about it.

We know it's not worth it to you, that doesn't not make it wrong for it to be worth it to somebody else. If I was in the market for ram that I KNEW was capable of 2650, I would buy ram rated at 2650. Not ram rated at 2500 and hope for the best. I gave up on that after getting burned back in the day on 3 shitty clocking 2x1GB 800Mhz D9 Crucial kits before getting a good one on the 4th try, I quit trying to go cheap only to waste all of my time, and decided saving for a little longer to buy the speed I'm interested right of the box worked better for me. The very next kit I bought was the Transcend Axeram 1200's.

Worth every penny I spent on them. I didn't have to worry whether my ram would hit the speeds I wanted or not, and I could focus and use my time on other aspects, like my video cards at the time.

I got burned again moving to 2GB sticks, and bought a G.Skill 1100Mhz kit that did it at 1.9V, thinking that 1200Mhz would be easy to hit. It's only 100Mhz, right? Wrong. Nothing in the world would make them post past 1150Mhz. No amount of voltage, no amount of loosening timings.

So, in all of this, you still failed to make a valid point against these sticks. The only way to make a valid point against these sticks is to find some better ram rated at 2650 or faster for the same-ish price, or some perfectly equal 2650 rated ram for cheaper. Period.

how are those redlines WILE E? i was going to purchase those for my e758 but i wasnt sure they would clock at all

Haven't really had the time to push them. Still trying to figure out the finer points of i7 clocking.

I loved my Axeram too 1200 was easy to them :).
