[Robertnpmk]

Hi,

saw today only deal-

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-300-CS

And was wondering if there was any point in upgrading to 16 GB, (prob know the answer as NO! are you nuts)

But at that price its insane.

Thanks.

omg, Every time I look this ram has dropped in price. I brought this stuff a few months back for my pc @ £89, I then bought some more for anouther pc 2month ago for £60 thinking the same thing

and no not worth 16GB, 8Gb is fine i'm currently using 18% of 8GB lol. games wont use more than 50% of it either

It would depend on what you use your PC for?

If gaming then it would be pretty pointless, as most games dont use more than 4 gig.

Yeah the same thing keeps happening to me, I built my PC just before the blue sets were available on OCuk (would have looked mint in my PC), think I bought them for £96 or something and they just keep dropping and dropping.

Main use is gaming, (when I get chance away from the other half)

So as I thought pointless.

Thanks

Sandybridge e is quad channel isnt it?

 

[Robertnpmk]

Well it has 4 ram slots, but its dual channel.

Something inside just wants me to get 16Gb though lol.

Be careful if you have a BIG air cooler though as this is not low profile memory (You might be better getting some of the slightly more expensive stuff that isn't on offer if you 'need' low profile).

Yeah me too.

This is my PC so wont have that problem either:

[/url] new cables by Fletch2008, on Flickr[/IMG]

What case is that?

 

[Robertnpmk]

What case is that?

its the Silverstone FT02-b, amazing case. love it.

 

[Scougar]

Could you put a blue cable tie around those PCI-cables at the bottom to help air flow upwards?

I do like those silverstone cases (I prefer the Raven though). You have a water cooler, so it won't be an issue anyway

apparrently ram prices are going to plummet through Q4, im waiting for that vengence 1866 cl9 stuff to mysteriously lose 20 quid or so off the price and ill bite

 

[fowler002]

was thinking about getting it but ended up getting the cas8 of the black version for £57.50, apart from the case(lian li a05 originally silver but poweder coated red) and hard disk(silver) everything else will be black so blue ram would stand out. I will be getting a new bigger case in the future as planning on custom watercooling.

Dual channel

Will this memory be ok with my machine?

AMD965BE, Crosshair III, xfire HD5870's.

Says quad channel here:

Intel Core i7-3930K will be the middle child of Intel's coming processor series Sandy Bridge-E. With six cores from Sandy Bridge and a quad-channel DDR3 memory controller a sample of the processor has ended up in the hands of Coolaler that has presented a performance preview and compared it to Intel Core i7-980X.

Yep, apologies I missed the "e" in your post

Yes.

 

[Damien.]

Yes.

Brilliant, would be rude not too at that price!

I'm also waiting for the Q4 drop in RAM prices before an upgrade.

On another note, that case is so tidy. I really should put the effort in doing that to mine lol
