is the green stuff not having issues with the mobo i ordered?

just reading through the thread on the board now.

Samsung works fine. There's a freezing issue experienced by some people with the motherboard, but many people with the RAM don't have it, so it's unlikely to be related to that.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Sasmung Green if on Ivy go and torture the IMC getting to 2400MHz+

I can't imagine it overclocks as well as the Samsungs..

 

[shawsy109]

it doesnt overclock as well as the greens, but it cheaper, and lets be honest. The gains of faster RAM isnt really that big, you cant even see the difference.

 

[spookywillow]

for the sake of £6 it looks like the greens win

Good choice mate, If i hadnt got 16gb of the hyperX just before the green went on sale id of got it. Overclocks like a mofo.

I was thinking of water cooling, but my arse fell out so got a H100 with 4 apaches in push/pull, with 2 acceleros on the cards for friday, fitting it all at the weekend. the hot weather we had made my gpus go crazy at 100% load. cpu wasnt great either.

thats the cooler im looking at, had enough of custom loops and the hassle that comes with them lol
