Hi all is there Any Low profile ram 1.5V @ 8-8-8-24 times for sandybridge 4gb. I was trying to find some from corsair as i like that memory but only comes in the vengeance.

is the there any ?

if not is the vengence much higher and can you fit it with all types of heat sinks ?

will it be ok with a Scythe Shuriken Rev.B Quiet Low Profile CPU Cooler or megaharlems ?

thanks

Don't stress yourself looking for low profile CL8 RAM.

There's far more choice of low profile CL9 and you won't notice the difference with Sandybridge.

Hopefully you meant the XSM3 (going by your previous post) because if you're after low profile RAM, you've made the wrong choice going with the Vengeance - they're quite tall!

The low profile Vengeance RAM isn't.

My bad.

Didn't realise whether such RAM even existed. I did search "Vengeance" before posting to make sure, but I was on my girlfriend's iPhone at the time and I guess the low profile variant was too low down the results page that I missed it. Won't make the same mistake next time (will save me looking a fool as well

).

What does "Sandy Bridge Compatible" mean on the ram? Is not all DDR3 ram SB compatible?

Also, thanks very much for this link

I was rather surprised at how little difference CL timings made!

Surveyor · 19 Jul 2011 at 08:25

You're welcome.

Sandy Bridge compatible just means the RAM will work at around the lower voltage of 1.5V which is required for Sandy Bridge.
