Need it to be fully compatible with Gigabyte z87 OC board.
im having a heck of a time at the minute with bsods cause of incompatible memory lol

16gb is the max i want 2x8gb or 4x4gb kit what ever kit is best for ocing ect.
for quad channel or what ever maxes out haswell boards.

------------------------------------------

good timings and high stuff i need willing to pay up to around £150 or under if you can find a kit.

*note the memory has to fit in the board my D14 will not let any high profile memory in the first 2 slots so require memory that will fit...
*note 2, this is not requested but would be sweet, for memory to have XMP profiles so i wont have to mess with them to get the best speeds.

Avexir Core Blue Series 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17000C9 2133MHz Quad Channel Memory Kit (AVD3U21330904G-4CI) - Blue Light

I know in a bit of a hurry here as i will be 12 hour shift tommorow and saturday and wanted to get the stuff for when i finish work on saturday.
not sure if this is good stuff or not hope they will be z87 compatible, these unfortunetly do not come with xmp profiles :( hope it wont be a mission to get them working correctly would hate to be faffing about with them.

-----------------------------------------------

any of you guys have any thoughts about this stuff ? the stuff,they at least have ultra low profiles so should all fit perfectly on the board.....
any guys with this stuff installed that could give some input ???? are they decent or just ok ? there pretty cheap.....
 
Update, read on the data sheet for this memory direct from AVEXIR,
seems this memory does have a XMP profile but ocuk do not state that it has one, who is right ocuk or avexir ? would like a update on this from OCUK ????

XMP : DDR3-2133 CL9-11-10-27 1.65v
and about compatibility states :

Support P55/H55/X58/H61/P67/Z68/Z77/X79/Z87

haswell compatible z87 :D

can i get a update OCUK does this memory come with XMP profile ?????????? avexir states that it does ? unless im reading the info here is the link : http://www.avexir.com/product/corespec.html click spec then select : AVD3U21330904G-4CI look at the middle of the page to the left says XMP ????
 
Hello there Virus, Haswell builds do not support QUAD channel kits, only Dual or single. I would reccomend buying Two DUAL Channel kits :)

Are you sure about that ? says on the data sheet that this memory is z87 compatible and and correct me if im wrong but z87 chipsets are haswell chipsets.

Dual and quad do not matter its just means quad is four sticks and dual 2 sticks.

if he bought the quad channel it would just fill his 4 dimms the same as two dual channel kits, i would suggest getting two 8gigabyte sticks as sometimes fully populating all four dimm slots can affect max OC's

Ahh right so they will work then :)
and if it affects my imc i will send back i have 7 days :P and get dualchannel kit.
 
Indeed it will run both pairs of modules in dual channel mode.

I would however also suggest two dual channel kits (if he wishes to populate all the slots) if it is the same price, but for a different reason. If one of the modules becomes faulty, the retailer/manufacturer will want all the modules in the kit back. If this is a quad kit, that means all your modules, which means you'll be left with no memory and therefore a non-working system if you don't have spares. With two dual channel kits you'll still have one kit and a working system.

Just a thought anyways.
 
Haswell can run with high speed memory, but I'd stick to 2133MHz or lower because you don't get any real benefit from higher, plus it can restrict overclocking a lot.

I'd get C9 1600MHz to C10 2133MHz.

Do you have any links or technical data showing such. As you seem to be contradicting recent reviews of memory speed with regard to Haswell in real world conditions.
 
Well guys my kit arrived :)
Does c9 @2133..... also has that XMP profile v1.3 Enthusiast Certified Profile ;)

---------------------

runs like a peech
have a look at this image guys and tell me though if my memory speeds look normal ?
and also tell me why i can not bootup @T1 command finding it hard to stabilise higher uncores for instance with my CPU @4.5ghz i use a uncore of 40x 4000mhz and that works perfect i can boot up to windows with 41 / 42 / 43 but i cant get those stable only 40x 4000, seems the uncore needs a juice bump but where and what settings ?

also have a look at my voltages do they look right im using 1.9v for cpu vrm and 1.265v vcore i currently am stable with those settings im just trying to sqeeze ever ounce could do with trying to get higher memory speeds cpu speed is fine 4.5ghz is a plenty for everything :D

better uncore + higher memory speeds is what im looking for ;)
is 1.265v high for 4.5ghz on haswell ?
