thanks[H]@RD5TUFF well as i've said money isn't a big problem
,my thoughts are because it's rated alot faster than i intend my new machine to go is it going to work properly ,as i've had faster ram in the past and it made my scores in 3d mark actualy worse,
has anyone else had that type of problem ?
Most likely what you experienced was a sync problem aka a bandwidth problem, though I'm not sure what processor / memory this occured on for you, this was a big issue back in the day, of DDR and P4's and the Athlons, the barton cores in particular, as the FSB ran @ 333, but it was possible to put DDR 400 in with the processor, and often the score would be lower, as the ram and the processor were running at speeds out of sync with each other. Causing a bottle neck, and thus the processor would have a bandwidth problems.
This is not an issue these days, though as I said before you may have problems getting the memory to run 1866, with your processor running at under 3.3 GHZ (really easy to get there, more auto OC features on most boards will get you past that). But owning this set of memory, I can tell you, they run fast, amazingly fast, and the timings are pretty tight, I'm running them @ 8-8-8-22 @ 2035 @ 1.65 v. Now that said, if you get a kit that runs @1600, you will not notice a preformance difference between them and this kit running at 1866, in fact more than likely when you first plug them in that's most likely what they will run at. Get them, if you can't run them at 1866, you can most likely run them at 7-7-7 -19, or maybe even 6-6-6-20, ehich are actually pretty conservative speed for these DIMM's when they are running at 1600, which will in the long run show more benefit than a higher bus speed.
I think that type of memorie is very expensive, even though it is very powerful. Good choice, if you have the money
In the book of informatics i am studying it says the latency of 3 first numbers which are not equal it is not that good, cuz it causes unstability. For example the dominators you have choosen have 7-8-7-20
If it was 8-8-8-20 it is nearly as better as 7-8-7-20, but if it was 7-7-7-20 it is much better.
I hope i did help a little
While what you say is true, uneven latency's can cause instability, it's only at higher voltages that this becomes a problem, and by the time these issues would rear their head, your more likely to see a BSOD from instability of your processor, than from your ram, while this was not the case with DDR, and some high speed DDR2 kits, I have yet to experience, or even hear of ram of any brand having this issue.
I had the concerns about the memory I was going to purchase for the Gigabyte motherboard and sent a note to Gigabyte tech support and received this response from them.
"Unfortunately the memory support list is currently not available for this board, the board can support any non ecc un-buffered DDR3 memory.
There are no restriction to any type of memory being used. As for processor only the supported ones off our website been tested. We cannot confirm whether if the newer processor can be supported until they are release."
Hope this helps.
That's kind of a cop out on Gigabytes part.
wtf:
I also added a nickel plated Apogee GTZ, and the EK block for the board/mosfits... It should look sharp in this acrylic case.
