What conditions does that make a difference though? (Question as I don't know lol) For general PC use and gaming it runs really well and super snappy

I bought a sn750 a while ago at a good discount. Was forced to buy another for uniformity.

Sabrent is good stuff. Not much in it for most people.

Yeah I've got the 512GB as an OS drive and the 1TB as my Steam Games drive

On x570 then?

I looked at the sn750 and would get it as I like WD stuff, but the read write figures for all of these drives, Sabrent, SiliconPower, Corsair, and the WD are all within 100MB of each other...same goes for the warranted writes.
It does look nicer though! :cool:

Not that I'll ever see it again!

Yep, Aorus X570 Master

@LadFromWales Very good catch. I think what has happened here is the XMP profile was taken over from the older 8 Pack sticks and someone at the factory forgot to add in 14.

@Smiffy-UK It will come June 16th.

Ooo. I can't wait to see what the board can do. Need to upgrade my PSU before I attempt any CPU overclocking. 550gold may not be upto the task lol.

I say uniformity. 1 had the heat sink new one doesn't. I was penny pinching the £30.

Once I know its fine ill fit my mobo heat sink to the sink less one.

LadFromWales · 16 May 2020 at 18:23

Hmm, sn750 is only £20 more at the moment. It'll look nicer in device manager at least!

Its good. And yes. It does look nicer in devide manager. lol

I paid £155 for 1TB with heat sink last feb and now £160 for 1TB with out heat sink.

I really wanted to go wild and get pci-4 versions...but we know that is just silly.

Yes mate, I'm currently running the Sabrent Rocket 512GB & 1TB NVMe drives, running sweet so far, and IIRC they are based on the same controllers as the Corsair anyway?

Hi is this gen 3 or 4 you've got mate

Here's my Aida 64:

Having tweaked my ram I have to say it feels like a significant pc upgrade. Especially in BFV. Very smooth.

I decided to do some digging into the weird XMP issue and came across this very interesting find. I'm pretty sure these C14 sticks are just the Team Group T-Force XTREEM ARGB but with a different heatspreader and ofcourse no RGB.

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/teamgroup-t-force-xtreem-argb-ddr4-3600-mhz-cl14-2x8-gb/7.html

The exact same specifications of 14-15-15-35 at 1.45v. What tipped me off was these modules having the same CPU-Z issue shown on techpowerup's screenshot:

I also managed to figure out the XMP issue because of this find. Guru3D also reviewed this RAM and for some reason it has 5 XMP profiles. CPU-Z was getting confused with that many selections and defaults to the 4th preset instead of the 5th.

Taken from: https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/team_group_t_force_xtreem_argb_ddr4_review,6.html

The T-Force XTREEM ARGB looks sick. If OcUK eventually stocks it for say £160 it would sell really well.

I saw that review of the xtreem stuff and thought what a coincidence.

It's all off the same line, the lot of them. Just a different case, which is mostly cosmetic, and a bit of basic binning, and then the right SPD being written. In most cases they all go to the top speed which ever kit you buy. Mine do 3600 CL14 no problem once I figured out some settings. But it runs faster at 3733 C16.

What's mental about all these reviews is they don't bother tightening many timings (2nds) so the scores they put up are just pants.

The tech power up guy was atleast half decent: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/teamgroup-t-force-xtreem-argb-ddr4-3600-mhz-cl14-2x8-gb/8.html

He was able to keep stock timings/voltage and run these at 3733. 14-15-15-35 at 3733 is pretty decent.

I'll hold my hand up, I completely missed that page.

So I just installed the 3600 C16 along with my new 3700X and I'm getting an OD error code with no POST. I'm on the latest BIOS for my CH6 and it POSTs fine when I put my Trident 3200 C14 back in. Any ideas?
