G.Skill TridentX 2400 MHz CL10 16GB Kit

Finally got these in my hand. F3-2400C10D-16GTX.
CL10-12-12-31 2T running at 1.65v

Bought it from - newegg.com (got it here from my friend)
Damages - USD 140

They are running at their rated speed of 2400 MHz at CL10-12-12-31 2T on my rig with i5-3570K OCed at 4.4 GHz, perfectly matching the color scheme of Maximus V Gene & HD7950

Absolutely yes...
Before plugging them in, I had doubts whether they'll run at 2400 MHz or not... but they did without any trouble at all. Popped them in and set the XMP profile and that's it

So will OC them next week... have taken full week off from Office.

@mandar nice

would have been even better if you had got quad channel, but nvm, I guess your mobo does not support more than 2 channels.
Anyway, OC them above 3000mhz

^^ Its not only abt the mobo but procy and chipset as well. I'm on Z77 / 1155 platform..not X79 / 2011.. so no question of quad channel.

Ha ha... Will try my best.. Get me some LN2 :evil:

high speed ram really makes difference in games and application?

In games... not much. In apps.. yes to noticeable extent at the rated spees of 2400. Thing is going from 1600MHz to 2400MHz.. I wouldn't notice rocketing difference like I would when going from 1600 to 3200 which would be double.
This kit is highly overclock-able hence I will be OCing them next week... lets see how far they can be pushed.

coool! keep us posted...

can i ask something that i have these 1600 mhz RAM so can i also overclock them?

Yes, if your motherboard and CPU support

Bought from USA? That's a very good decision. These kits are too much overpriced here.

Yes, you can.
But No, its not advisable - especially after 1800 mhz, performance difference is more virtual than real and can be noticed only via bench marks.

Yep.. they cost double in India.. INR 15K

I only have a mere 1333 MHz but my apps are fast enough to satisfy my need

Hmmm... "Needs" are very subjective I suppose :wink:

I wonder why enthusiast hardware is so overpriced in India!! Comparing with newegg you will find everything to be at least 50% costlier. Desktop is already dead in India except for us enthusiast and gamers and they are trying to kill that too with overpriced hardware.

BTW nice RAM and don't you think your PSU is stressed to max with 7950CF ?

umm...maybe because the demand is less?
how many people you have seen who have gone to a shop with the intent of buying enthusiast hardware?
its always like cheaper the better and they(95%) say "sastawala dijiye"...
as long as this attitude is there expect enthusiast hardware to be expensive and rare.

^^ True...

@1155- Yes its stressed out. Getting my hands on AX850 & Maximus V Formula tomorrow :wink:
