1866 or 2133 RAM?

madrooster · Mar 30, 2012

Hi All,

What would be faster in benchmarks (Sandra/AIDA64 etc etc.)?

2133MHz @ 11-11-11-30 or 1866MHz @ 9-10-9-28

Eg. G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR...
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR...

not really sure but id think the 2133 kit would be better

TheoneandonlyMrK · Mar 30, 2012

2133 is still going to give higher bandwidth on an intel system plus it may OC higher

fullinfusion · Mar 30, 2012

but it all depends on the sticks too...

My mushkin 1600mhz @6-8-6 are faster then a set of 1866MHz sticks @ 9-11-9

n-ster · Mar 30, 2012

on intel probably 2133 IMO, but they are very similar

NdMk2o1o · Mar 30, 2012

If these are for your p67 rig I would recommend getting a set of Ripjaws 1600mhz as most sets will OC to 1866mhz and any higher than that there is little/no benefit. Also paying a premium for 1866/2133 on 1155 isn't worth the minute gains

I would go with the 48$ Samsung RAM to OC it for fun but thats just me

Batou1986 · Mar 30, 2012

I would look at a good price that's rated for your motherboards speed and if its only like $10~$20 more or the same price for something faster it will give you some headroom for oc or future upgrade.
Also lower latency>higher speed always.

get the $48 Samsung 30nm kit 2x8gb.
Then you can run 1866 8-9-9-21 or 2133 9-10-10-28 1T.
Either way you win.

Actually for Intel Sandy Bridge higher speed > lower latency.

I can run some AIDA64 screenies when I get home a lot later...

I'm interested in seeing those screenies please

You guys can look here for now:

When I get to it a lot later I'll do the screens.

There's a 2000MB/s difference between 1600/2200mhz, like I said unless you're benching then anything above 1600/1866 has no real world difference and the difference in cost between 1600mhz RAM and 2200mhz doesn't make for a compelling reason to buy higher clocked RAM, not on 1155 anyway.

n-ster · Mar 30, 2012

OP wants to know which are faster in benchmarks....

LagunaX · Mar 30, 2012

Ok here you go, AIDA64 2500k @ 4.8ghz, 2x4GB DDR3:

1600 8-8-8-24

1866 9-10-9-28

2133 11-11-11-30

AND $48 Samsung 30nm kit lowest timings for 1866 and 2133:

There you go!

link to buy please

SAMSUNG 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600...

Actually if you already have the Mushkin Blackline 2x4GB kit like I do as well, there won't be a difference in benchmarks for the Mushkins at 9-11-10-27 1T 2133 vs. the Samsungs at 9-10-10-28 1T.
But you'll be able to run the Samsung at 1.55v vs. the Mushkin at 1.65v.

n-ster · Mar 30, 2012

remember though, with the Samsung it's not guaranteed, but it can be a cheap addition to your current RAM to run at the same speeds

Thanks!

Precisely what I wanted to see. Looks like considering they are the same price the 2133 @ 11-11-11-30 will be faster than the 1866 @ 9-10-9-28.
