My job here on TPU is reviewing motherboards and memory. That's all.


:roll:

Anyway, as shown, I have a set of TridentX sticks. ON X79, yeah, they are underwhleming. MY experience is quite like your own.


But on Z77...they FLY!!! It's amazing how different it is, really.

Agreed! The Ivy Bridge CPU IMCs are truly amazing...I've already seen benchmarking where memory was being ran over 3000Mhz - craziness!

I might just have to build a second rig with Ivy Bridge :D
