Wired Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Yes, because as per the rules posting competitor's names is not allowed. Please do not go around the filter again. If you want an unbiased recommendation I'd suggest a neutral forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradTN Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 sorry about that ,regardless forget competitors I prefer corsair anyways , what do you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow6491 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Dont bother with the 2000Mhz Ram thats for sure. I am not alone in saying that I have tried everything to get the system to run stable and not achieve the stated frequency. The best I can get is 1860 with 2000 Mhz ram because of CPU (960) memory control issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradTN Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 ok so http://ncix.com/products/?sku=34802&vpn=TR3X6G1600C8D&manufacture=Corsair&promoid=1207 is a great bet? I also plan on OC'ing my i7 930 to 4.0ghz , will this ram be sufficient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackrat Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Your PC may or may not overclock to 4.0 GHz. depending on many factors including your specific CPU/Mobo/RAM/PSU/VID, etc. See my signature. The i7-930 has an officially support RAM speed of 1066 MHz. but may run at a higher frequency with proper BIOS settings? The TR3X6G1600C8D is rated to run up to 1600 MHz. at 8-8-8-24 2T @ 1.65V on the i7 platform so this should work fine. You would need to manually set the BIOS options to run the RAM overclocked to 1600 MHz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
