Added a quick 20 min/5 pass run of linX for those that insist (errors if any usually appear in the first 5 rounds of linX):

Added Custom Prime95 run: According to linX available testing memory was 6.7gb. Set Custom memory to 6.7gb, and min/max FFT's to 720k. Ran over an hour just fine no errors! 1.55v!

Added a Custom Prime95 run(blend using 6gb of the available ram) with a newer mobo bios - able to now do DDR3 2133 9-10-10-24 1T @ 1.575v (your mobo might need lower):

I was going to buy these the other day and then was like nahhhhh. Now they are $1 cheaper:D bought two lol. Gotta take back my vengeance.

Buy them up while ram prices are still low!!!! Soon they will skyrocket! Every kit of ram, not just these.

I think Paulieg bought some too :)
 
Yeah, I am excited. I just need a good board for some solid overclocking with these beasts. Any recomendations? Not to get too off topic;)
 
they are very nice, run very cool and hardly even need anything over 1.5v
i have mine running at 2133 with 1.497v CL 10-10-10-28
the board won't let me go higher (msi z68a-gd80) via multi
 
Great. Definitely can't wait to try them out.
 
Why are RAM prices going to skyrocket?
 
because all the mem manufacturers are losing oodles of money. at least that is what i have read.

Yup. Just bought 24 GB of it, impulsively. :D That's to go along with the 16GB's of Geil Evo 2 1866 sticks I have sitting here. Guess I'm set for awhile!!
 
Debating if I want to get this for my new client when i put his computer together. Just OC the ram to hell and back. :laugh:
 
Here, I found one relevant article:

RAM price increase

Sorry OP, we're not hijacking your thread...just having a side conversation. :p
 
Bought a set for my memory-starving Hackintosh build:D

these would be a nice fit and the price is right.
i also have 4 packs of those laying around that i will utilize in various boxes around here.
these are also very nice for SFF builds since they are barely higher then clips themselves

When they collect dust on your shelf and you decide to sell, I will be waiting...
 
I just ordered some corsair vengeance 16gb just before but now I'll refuse the package and get a refund for moar samsung!;)
 
Anyone else get these and experiment with them?

I don't know I hardly ever see Paulie buying and selling stuff here... LOL
 
I just ordered a pair of these off Newegg, plus a little 10% off. So if these can OC as well for me, it'll be a great deal.

I've really toned it down over the last 6 months or so. Before that, I changed out systems almost monthly, during the last 4-5 years. I swear, half of TPU has something I owned at one time :laugh: Back on topic...I really hope these sticks are good. If tthey are, I'll probably part with my EVO II's and snipers, especially with the low profile, since I have a Prolimatech Genesis cooler on the way.
 
"Save money for video card, save money for video card":cry: Just not sure what these are gonna do over my G.Skill 1333 CL7 kits.

How about CL7 1600, in 16GB config, or CL8 1866? Yeah, I'm thinking they will do that, from what I'm seeing. :eek:
 
Yeah just on 1155 boards or what tho I'm wondering...
