Which is best for gaming assuming their not overclocked just run at their normal settings?

I own the black ones and have just ordered the blue ones as they were on offer, the best ones are going in my rig and the others in one im building. I know the black ones have lower latency and stuff but the blue ones have more Mhz, and I have no idea which is better.

Patriot Viper PSC based dimms which with those timings will be faster and offer greater bandwidth. PSC are excellent IC's and overclock very well should you choose to clock em at any stage.

I see, thanks, good job I asked as I didn't think the lower timings were better than the extra 266mhz lol.

Hi, sorry to trouble again but the IEM ram arrived today and while looking at it I noticed the info on its OCUK page about its timings is actually incorrect, its actually 9-10-9-27, does this change anything?

To save you looking up again its 8-9-8-24 1600mhz vs 9-10-9-27 1866mhz.

Thanks.

Both are PSC I would go with 8-9-8 -24 1600 and set it up 7-9-8-24 if I was you.
