Whose the daddy! :D
 
Recieved the RAM this morning and well it's great. Booted up first time with no problems and was simple enough to get to 1066mhz in the BIOS. Games seem to run smoother. Didn't think it would make too much difference but it has. Might even get another 4GB even though the price has gone up slightly. Not sure if I really need it though.

Can you put that on the website reviews please mate :)
 
I was about to say that i expected it to be a lot more after the this week offer, but even if i had bought them now im still saving loads compared to the corsair and ocz kits.
 
Awesome, ordered these last night to replace the corsair 6400's that I borrowed from my mother:D

Went on the website today and found I had just beat the price increase, nice.

will be RAMming;) them in tommorrow hopefully.
 
I bought these purely to test while waiting on an RMA on one of my Dominator modules. Straight in @ 1066 5-5-5-15 v2.2, however when running memtest the machine locks up. Windows boots fine etc... Fails Intel burn test straight away though.

If I run them @ 800 4-4-4-12 v2.2 memtest runs without a hitch, however once again Intel burn test fails right away.

Put some old geil/g.skill and ocz mem in and ran memtest without a hitch and Intel burn test ran perfectly too.

This all running with on stock Q9550 on a X48-DQ6. Moved the chip on to a X38-DS5 and the memtest worked flawlessly with this memory and the same goes for Intel burn test. Also tested on the P35 OcUK board I had knocking about. Both Giga-byte boards are running the newest bios.

Anyone else running this memory and the same board as me who could run memtest to see if it locks up like mine please?

Excluding the above issue with one of my setups, this memory is great value. Hopefully this is just a bios issue and I could be running 8GB of this stuff for less than the price I paid for 4GB of dominator mem!

Might need just a tad more voltage on the NB chipset m8 - happens on that board sometimes. ;)

Didn't end up getting some of these at £40inc VAT. With the price back to normal I thought it would be a lot higher. Im am suprised.

Plus free delivery. Why shop anywhere else :D
 
Got mine today with a Scythe Kama angle. Had to change the system memory mutliper to get it running at 1066 on a Gigabyte p35 DS4 but running fine :)

Ran Prime 95 for 40 mins no errors cpu temp 58 think this is classed as stable ?




 
Thanks AndyOcUK, after lots of mucking about upping the NB +0.075 worked. However the box was still freezing up on the 2nd pass. The heatsink on the NB was mega hot, so had a fan directed at it and low and behold it stopped freezing up. Since i'm watercooling I guess not having the fan over the cpu moving any air around that area has a big effect.

So a a big thumbs up to Big.Wayne for this genius idea of using the stand offs stacked together. Made up 1, 5 stand offs high and stuck a 80mm fan on top blowing directly on the heatsink. Ran memtest a few more times with the case side back on, all good!

Your only unnng the Ram at stock so it should be stable 24/7
Does your CPU not go higher ? You should see better performance if you clock it at 400 * 8

Get your ram overclocked too
