MxPhenom 216 · May 9, 2011, 02:45 AM

hmmmm. ive loved G. skill as well.

Sad part.. I have Pat Xtreme's as well (4gb 2k kit).. Their good at their timmings, but I couldn't fondle them enough to get anything good out of them.. Not as much as I could with the PiS..

The read speeds wasn't as good at the piS at the same speed and timmings.. Well the kits I've played with.

Their just sitting in a box somewhere since I couldn't sell them a while back.. lol

do you know what IC's the G. skills have??

sneekypeet · May 9, 2011, 03:17 AM

likely both kits are various bins of PSC ICs.

I have much love for both sets and brand names. I don't think either call is the "wrong" way to go.

Sure, you're probably bang on.

But, it seems kits with TRCD +1 higher are the better kits.

7-8-7 1.5v 1600 vs 2000 9-11-9 1.65. 2000 should just be faster outta the gate, depending on bclk. I mean ,do you wanna overclock, or run stock?

I tell ya what.

Can you swing these?:

G.SKILL PI 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1...

much better timed kit for 1600! Good find.

Cold Storm · May 9, 2011, 05:47 PM

Damn those are nice... Hmmm.. I think I'll be looking at 3x4gb sticks to see if I can fine something good... Man, I really want a x58 system now..

lucas4 · May 9, 2011, 08:33 PM

id go with either of those kits.
both super fast, both good brands and both look awesome

!

depends whether u want better speed, or better timings

Should do 8-9-8 @ 2000, if you get a really good set, maybe 2400 9-11-9-27 @ 1.65v-1.7v

Careful clocking CAS6 though, it's a RAID killer.

Only if you gotta have that for 2000mhz or higher

MxPhenom 216 · May 9, 2011, 11:55 PM

I love looking at G. Skill ram. i always get a good feeling aobut it. cuz everything g. skill ram set ive gotten has been amazing

bostonbuddy · May 10, 2011, 03:59 AM

I have 12gigs in my rig and just picked up another stick for $40 to make it 16. They are some cool looking heat sinks.

MxPhenom 216 · May 10, 2011, 01:33 PM

cadaveca · May 10, 2011, 03:27 PM

Cool beans. If you need any tips for timings, let me know!
