Now you make me angry, after spending days being patient trying to fix it without slagging it off, I brought it back to the shop today and your technical department tested it while I waited and it was faulty.
So after wasting my time and a 100 mile journey you have the nerve to say issues etc, get your facts right then **** me off.
Plus if it is as good as you say it is why on the morning of testing it did you in the afternoon use Corsair for your Custom PC entry?
Don't tell me to get my facts right!
First of all where have I slagged you off or personally attached you? Can you point me to this? The only person doing attacking here is you! I was clearly stating facts to yourself, if this was a faulty batch and considering we've sold 930 kits now I think we'd have a lot more than just a handful of customers with issues overclocking and ones with borked ram. So my facts of pretty spot on and please point out where I **** you off, its clearly something I have not done.
Right so you got a faulty kit, bad luck happens. Seems to me you got great service, you came to OcUK and they tested it on the spot for you, in my view thats cracking service. They confirmed its faulty and replaced on the spot all whilst you waited, thats extremely good service.
I stand by my original post, you tell me we sold now 930 kits since last Thursday, were still in single figures of people complaining about poor overclocks or had faulty ram. So if you look at that the problem/failure rate is well under 1%.
The memory is damn good, do you think the PC was working somehow by magic at 1140MHz at CAS 4-4-4-12, the screenshot proves it and the CPU-Z screeny clearly shows GeIL memory in place. This memory overclocks great when combined with the right setup and maybe it helps by the fact I've been doing this for years as the knowledge I have in overclocking does allow me to extract every last bit of performance.
After I tested this GeIL memory it was put back into stock and I thought I'd play with my PC once more with the FREE sample kit from Corsair. I did some playing and found the Corsair was able to clock nearly as high but with even more aggressive timings. Something like CAS 3-4-3-4 all the way upto 1050MHz and as such that gave the CustomPC that little boost needed. Am I gonna rave about the Corsair? Well NO, its doing what Corsair says it will do and thats run at very low latencies at high FSB's, plus the Corsair is near on impossible to get and when you do its gonna set you back over £300.
The GeIL memory is not the best, fact! However for the money it is the best, its as good as Corsair PC2-6400 C2, G.Skill HZ PC2-6400 C4 and OCZ PC2-6400 C4 parts but cost a damn site less.
So please don't come personally attacking me because you got a faulty set, out of 1000 modules there is gonna be a few duff sets of any brand of memory.
P.S. This GeIL memory is amazing, it clocks great and is an absolute bargain!!
only seems to be gibbo who has been able to run it over 500mhz?.
