What's your memory assessment speed? [2]

Ok I won't mess or monkey with it, but I may fool with it some, lol.

My replacement 2400 is on its way back and I'm curious to see if it will go 2666.

Mine goes to 2600 without even changing any timings or voltage, but surprise surprise the winsat drops from 31K to 28K. IMO it just ain't worth going past 2400 bud.

Thats some proper quick am Gary, Nice 1
I think some more ram will be on my next upgrade list as this Vengeance isn't doing too well with this cpu but i'll wait until the prices drop a lot again before i buy.

Yeah mate, right now is the worst possible time to buy!

I stumbled across the budget ram online that I bought ages ago for my lounge rig. When I bought it ram was at an all time low, cost me £27 iirc for 8GB, it was £66 when I saw it the other day

Yup it's a joke man! Mine cost me £40 last year but now retails between £70-100
Hopefuly it doesn't last long but it could stay that way as DDR4 is on the way so DDR3 will start to faze out i suppose.

Very good Gary Now return everything

Thanks Bill, I think I've hit a genie-less setup.

While RAM may be a bit more expensive than 2-3 months ago, it's still a good deal. About 2 years ago I bought two 2x4GB kits of GSkill plain Ripjaws for $229. That's a total of 8GB, $229. Here's a copy of part of the invoice.



Check today's price.
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM - Newegg.com

Some odd and cofusing results with the i7-3770k system.
This is for 2x8GB 2400 Sniper RAM, 11-13-13 set at stock specs.




4x4GB Sniper 2133 OC'd to 2400.



An average difference of 1876MHz which isn't significant but still curious. Is it the slight difference in latency?

Stock is doing pretty damn good at 29k Gary

Maybe you should leave it alone that is pretty fast for any system

The 2x8GB I can run at 2600 but it falls to the 26-27000 range in winsat.
