@Knoxx29 - Thx bud but 1333 wont do. I think at oem timings I once got ~1900 stable

I found these tho, and the price seems to be reasonable:

There is also this. And sometimes going .de or .co.uk provides some "hidden" results on .com

12GB for 60€ it's a good deal.

 

[FilipM]

60 + 9 shipping. Still a good deal me thinks

And shortly after I posted asking about RAM, my friend bought a 3x 4GB kit of G.Skill Sniper 1.25V 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 RAM for $55 shipped, so he's set! I'm hoping a minor overvolt will allow them to hit 2000ish.

 

[FilipM]

1.25V??

 

[Random Murderer]

1.25V??

Indeed. Part number is F3-12800CL9T-12GBSR2.
Previously, the lowest voltage DDR3 I had seen, and also the best overclocking RAM I had experience with, was the Samsung Green 1.35V 1600MHz 11-11-11-28. I still have it in two of my systems, and the sticks I have ran quad-channel, 2400MHz, 10-12-12-31 1T at 1.55V in my X79 system, it truly lives up to its affectionate name given by the community "Wonder RAM."

 

[biffzinker]

1.25V??

Last I knew the lowest voltage was DDR3L=1.35v

 

[FilipM]

Yeah, I also thought it might be a typo, lol

UPDATE

if its Scam i'm sure Ebay/pay pal will reimburse wuckin hope so cause i laid out some hard Saved Cash for one ( in the hope i can find a decent M/B for a later Build )

I guess that's just matter of luck.

I have bought many hardwares on Ebay Germany and once on Ebay USA and Ebay UK and thanks God not problem at all, i have had a few problems just when selling on Ebay, i know that many Members here have complained about Ebay/PayPal.

Yesterday I installed the 3x 4GB G.Skill Sniper RAM in the X5650 rig and spent the day clocking and stressing it, that RAM was a bitch to get stable since this board's lowest VDIMM is 1.5V and I had to raise QPI to 1.35V to get the CPU stable at 182 x22 for 4004MHz with the RAM at 1820MHz and stock timings (9-9-9-24-2N). The VCORE is now at 1.3V idle, 1.264 under load, LLC disabled. The system ran IBT with 10,000MB RAM use and was able to sleep and wake from sleep without issue, so I saved that overclock to an OC profile in BIOS and will probably just have him there for a while. 200BCLK with RAM at 1600 just refused to stabilize with any amount of voltage. I plan on taking another crack at it, but I really need to sit down and learn the X58 voltages better. We also need better cooling to push him much past 4.2GHz, or at the very least get him some better fans and run push/pull on the 212 Evo. That said, the 212 Evo with stock fan does extremely well for what it is, the hottest core during IBT hit 65C, and the coolest never even broke 60, plus with SpeedStep enabled it is clocking down to 2184MHz at idle and idle temps are pretty much ambient temps.
We're both very happy with this system, especially for how cheap it was built for. He used the same 7970, 750W PSU, and HDD as his previous build, but I had a nice case and a 128GB OCZ Vertex 480 SSD just lying around that I gave him, so now he boots incredibly fast and has more processing power than he knows what to do with. For a platform that is now nearly a decade old, it feels incredibly responsive and has handled everything we've thrown at it, including Star Citizen on high settings. I would say not only is this system good for him for a while, but he also has headroom in nearly every aspect: the board can hold more RAM, he could upgrade the GPU or pick up another 7970/7950/280X/280 and run Crossfire, the CPU still has some gas left in the tank for a higher OC, even the CPU cooler has room to improve without even swapping it.

Having said that, I'd like to take this moment to thank all of you. If it weren't for this thread and all of your help, he would have ended up with an i7 920. The X5650 was actually cheaper than any of the 920s we found, has more cores/threads and a lower TDP, the X5650 is just all-around a better chip in my book.

3 cheers for us.

 

[FilipM]

Excellent! Did you need more QPI voltage for 12gb of ram compared to 6gb?

 

[Random Murderer]

No idea, all voltages except VCORE and VDIMM were on Auto before I put this kit in. Also, he was previously on 8GB, 2x 4GB in dual-channel.

I hope its good, my fan is driving me even insaner so i need something soon. I hope you can turn the light off on it though

Our test results speak for themselves. ID-Cooling's Frostflow 240L offers the best full-speed temperature ever achieved on this test system, the best low-speed acoustic efficiency of any closed-loop cooler tested on this system, and the lowest price of any 2x 120mm cooler ever tested on our system. However, while some users prefer integrated fan and pump control, the Frostflow 240L uses motherboard-based controls.

I installed the RAM, just corrected the timings from 9-9-9-24 to 9-9-9-27, no clear CMOS...my god the PC is flying! I cannot believe how much quicker and more responsive is my PC in general usage!
