Any idea when we can buy these here in the UK? They were launched today.

Since they are for Sandy bridge, I would have liked them to be out at the same time.
 
Im just dissapointed that they have not managed to get it out for the launch of SB. I really want a pair of the 2133MHz, but I don't want to wait to upgrade.
 
1.65v for 2133mhz why is this when people are saying this is too much voltage? why would intel support 2133 ram if it was killing the imc on chips?

there is only 1 set of 1.5v 2133mhz stuff and i hope someone in the uk *cough* stocks this asap so i can have peace of mind.

It does say that the 1.65v stuff on the g skill website that i pointed to was only for the following boards

ASUS Maximus IV Extreme
ASUS P8P67 DELUXE
Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD7
ASRock P67 Extreme 6

So maybe on these 1.65v is ok for memory modules
 
Your better off with the 1.50v stuff, 1.65v is above Intel's recommended guidelines, you should aim to keep memory voltage sub 1.575v with a Sandybridge. Though so far we've not had any CPU's die at 1.65v memory, but its best to try and aim for 1.50v or less. :)
 
Just to let you know I had contacted gskill tech support about the concerns over 1.65v ram and Sandy Bridge , they say they have tested this platform a lot with this memory at the specified voltage without issue, so maybe it is high core volts that can cause issues?

Or maybe a combination of the two.

Perhaps you can have a higher cpu vcore if you keep the memory voltage lower and vice versa.

I think though I would feel much safer running memory at v1.5 though with sandy bridge even if it mean't running a lower speed.
 
well via webnote they told me no but i suspect they will if you get the right person involved so i have asked him again stressing gibbo said he would look into getting it as an option in thier bundles.

i have explained to him that it wont make a single difference as its the same speed, same volts but just better timings.and its sandy bridge certified.
 
I'm not ordering for another couple of days but here's hoping i get the right person:rolleyes: I'm sure Gibbo can make it happen.;)
 
I have this memory the cas 6 kit. Got mixed opinions about it as it auto sets itself to cas 9-9-9-28 @ 1600MHz and at 1.50v ( i do believe )

But if i try and input the rated settings. My pc won't boot at all it will try like 3-4 times but never will actually boot :s
