ChrisMCP Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hi, Just wanted to make sure that CMP16GX3M4X1600C7 would actually run as 1600 (7-8-8-24) with all 4 slots populated on MSI Z68A-GD65 (Gen3) and 2600K. Or would it downclock to 1333? I'm asking because CMP16GX3M4X1866C9 is 14$ less, but timings are greater and since I don't plan to overclock for now -- 1600 looks like the way to go. I just want to make sure filling all 4 slots would not be an issue. Thanks :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisMCP Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Should be just fine! Thanks for the reply! :biggrin: BTW, would you go for CMP16GX3M4X1866C9 in my case? I mean it's 14 buck less than the 1600 version, but has greater timings. So it's kinda - lesser timings on 1600 vs higher bandwith with higher timings type of dilemma :roll: Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Honestly you wouldn't notice much of a difference if at all in real world performance without a bench mark. So it's up to you. Just keep in mind that 1866mmhz is an overclock and may require some voltage tweaking to get them stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
