The gskill rgb were THE ones to go for a little while back. The Corsair led are trash though tbh. 2666 was all i could muster and that was shaky
I picked these up for £120 yesterday. Not bad to get instant 3200Mhz when you have to pay lots more for G.Skill.
If i knew I'd be guaranteed that speed I'd have gone with the Corsair myself. Over at overclock.net there are users showing that the revision of the memory plays a part etc, Corsair was a minefield. I paid £211 for my gskill 3600 steep as hell but I'm an impatient child.
Did you get confirmation from anywhere or was it a gamble?
How did you know what revision they were before buying? 100 questions sorry mate!MSI have a list of supported RAM and at what speeds online, it was on the list. These are V5.39 sticks, which according to other forums is not meant to work but I took MSI's word for it and they are right, works a treat with a hitch.
Just to add, these are SK Hynix too. LOL.

I didn't. MSI has the model number listed no revision numbers, turns out revisions wasn't a problem.
I think the Samy B-Die thing is something everyone has jumped to before better bios updates have been released. It seems all single rank RAM is managing regardless of the manufacturer.
Over on overclock.net people with different revisions are having issues. I have single ranked Corsair led 3000 on my shelf. They won't go above 2666 on tomahawk nor the crosshair. It's still a mess at the moment. Happy for you with 3200 though! Any differences to report? Without a frame counter i couldnt tell between 2400 and 3200 but benchmarks loved it.
I don't think anyone is hitting 3200Mhz with the RGB ones though. Seems to be mainly single rank samy b-dies.
EDIT: These are SK Hynix, not Samy B-Dies. Still worked at 3200Mhz out the box.
Glad to hear this re new bios seems things are getting better
About to test 1.3 for the toma on one build see if it improves the gskill 3200 sams 14c will report back
How the **** did you manage that!? Same clock speed same ram speed and timings and I got 1782
I have the same mobo, still nowhere near those results even with bias on. OS tweaks I imagine.....Same thing Matt was doing with motherboard cheating lol

Its a setting in the motherboard, however, I am not sure if it is a true result, @AMDMatt could help you with that.

Let's say when a driver improves performance is that cheating? simply put it's a UEFI option, which could if Asus wanted not be there and apply, without anyone knowing. Would we not say ahh UEFI xxxx version performs so much better than xxxx version.
Anyhow no biggie it's just a bench run, nothing more .
