I'm hoping to get mine as high as I can for clocks on my Gigabyte X58A-UD3R. Are there any tips for OCing RAM or anything like that? I'm thinking of starting at around 1800, 9-9-9-24 1t @ 1.5v. Any other suggestions?

PM me, i'm using the x58a-ud3r V2 and a 970. My three 4gb sticks can do 1850 9-9-9-24 and 2050 10-10-10-27 at 1,6v. Performance really depends on what uncore you can run.
 
Here in canada, it seems there's plenty to buy. I'll gladly buy for someone for the price plus shipping cost. They are at 24$ CAN for one 4gb stick and 47$ for a 2x4gb kit.

Link please?
 
Tigerdirect.ca still has them in stock, and that's about it. I had to start talking about it for them to go out of stock. :slap:

I bought mine at newegg.ca (that's where i got those prices), where they are back order at the moment. LagunaX left a good feedback that appears first when you check user reviews. Must explain why they sell so quick!

Let's just say i didn't said anything...
 
bought the non lp version of this ram! results on h55 in a few days.

got them today, run fine @ 1800MHZ 9-9-9-27 1.56v, wonder if i can get 8-8-8-24.

Why did I bought the non LP version? The LP is not avalable in Europe AFAIK, they're basically the same as the LP version, same chips.

Model number you have to look for: Samsung M378B5273DH0-CH9 , it's a 4GB module, I got 8GB shipped for 36.40 , that's ~48USD$

-update- boots fine with 8-8-8-24 1T timings

Btw they don't do 1800MHz 8-8-8-24 1t @ 1.56v stable, they run fine 9-9-9-27 t1

Thanks alot for this find!

I'm gonna order 16GB of those chippies today:toast:
 
Aye! just ordered 4 sticks + a corsair 500R case from them, Awesomesauce!
 
this samsung available in europe? link please....can someone from NL order for me and ship to slovenija????
 
Dutch shops seem to get them from a german retailer, perhaps you'll have more luck trying at german shops?
 
found them yes....jacob has them...too bad NOT LOW PROFILE!!!
 
Heh, I've seen them in and out of stock at newegg 2, if not 3, times. I hope to buy a kit as I'm getting ready to upgrade with my tax return...
 
Sorry can't read whole thread, best place in UK for these (or delivered to UK)? :)
 
Wheres da review! :D

Still in testing. Spent 12 hours yesterday covering CAS 9, 10, and 11. Today I'm doing 6, 7, and 8. Patience little one, patience.:laugh:

Wheres those secondary and tertiary timings at? :toast:

Overclocking tips and such will be covered. Consider this is a $30 kit...and at least 24 hours of testing is required to figure such out...:laugh:...I should have got at LEAST two kits. But i only got 2 sticks for review. I'm still taking my time, and making sure it's right.:D I'm about half-way done, stability testing plus 67 benchmarks so far, still more stability testing and near the same amount of benchmarks left:

That said, these sticks are awesome.:D

Btw they don't do 1800MHz 8-8-8-24 1t @ 1.56v stable, they run fine 9-9-9-27 t1

Yeah, i found the same with mine. It was close, though...
 
If you were posting the screenies to be a teaser then, UNGH. As they stand now, too small to see :respect:
 
Probably the point. ;)

Looking forward to this thorough review...we broke this thing, but not nearly as wide open as Cad is about to!
