GeIL Value Plus DDR3 1600mhz

Got this ram 2 x 2gb for my Sandybridge build last week (£38.99) and for value ram it is amazing

Standard timings are 9-9-9-28 at 1600mhz at 1.5volts
You can run at 10-10-10-34 at 1800mhz at 1.55volts, but it holds no benefit in real world benchmarks, due to the looser timings offsetting the increased frequency.

Have been playing with timings/speed/volts etc (with help from Gibbo, thanks mate)

Best timings you can run are as follows:-

9-9-8-27 at 1.48volts Stop press!!! You can do 9-9-8-24 at 1.45volts

I will be upgrading to sandy bridge in stages over the coming months to ease the load on my wallet.

Hmm this RAM looks appealing... buy or not to buy now?

Can't see it getting this cheap anytime again soon

I have problems running this memory on my X58 system. Can't run it any faster than 1066 without my system refusing to boot. Could the memory possibly be faulty?

Have you set the timings manually?

Now down at £35.99 I would buy another system to buy some of this amazing ram!
