Samsung MV-3V4G3D/US

That will be fine. You need 2 sets.

Edit: I mistakenly thought the 3700K was an SB-E. Although this was the middle of the day, I must have been tired or distracted (at least that is what I am going with LOL!)

Anyways ivy-bridge lga1155 is the same dual channel as sb lga1155 so only 1 set is needed.

I believe it is cas11 @ 1.35V. You probably can get away with a better timings (for whatever that is worth) at a slightly higher voltage.
 
actually this is new 30nn ram, many people on ocn have been hitting 2133mhz+ on it at low timings. Need a cpu IMC to support 2133mhz, but this ram is great for the price.
 
I have 2x4GB on a Gigabyte Z68, currently at 9-9-9-27-1T, 1866MHz, with only 1.375 VDimm. It's great stuff.
 
This stuff is like the hidden secret of the RAM world. Because of the loose timings, people assume its crap. MOST (not all) that buy this will be able to run 2133mhz pretty easily. I have 16GB -4x4GB- and I run it at 2133mhz 10-11-10-28 2T at 1.600v with perfect stability. Its cheap and low profile, so well suited to SB-E where big coolers interfere with RAM heatsinks.

i have mine at 1866mhz 9-9-9-21 T1 @1.5v

you would have to be an idiot to buy anything else you paid next to nothing for another kit
 
i bought 2 sets of these. absolutely fantastic ram!

i actually installed another 8gb last night and my ram score in windows went from 7.9 to 7.8. kinda weird. going to remove it and just run 8gb unless i have a need for 16gb.
 
i also forgot to mention that if you have a beefy heatsink, these rams are ultra low profile so you will not have any problems with clearance.
 
Great set for the money. Seem to work very well on Asus mother boards.

I tried them out and they worked very well up to 2133mhz. Only problem I had was with my 2500k at 5ghz my mb would not boot. I think my MSI Z68 GD65 G3 may need an update to fully support them. My system runs 5ghz with gskill ram no problem.


They run fast. That Techpowerup review is the best one. There is a thread at techpowerup that has a group of people that are having alot of succes over clocking it. It's a very popular kit.

sorry for hijacking the post.
i bought 2 sets of these rams, total 4 dimms, 16GB

will i be able to run them in quad-channel on an Asus Sabertooth X79?

also, what timings and voltage.

thanks in advance, HW noob here

I think they will work. Just start off at stock cloks on CPU and memory and voltage and see if it boots. Then begin to over clock if you want.

thanks so much.

im not new to computer building, but i only put things together and use "auto"

this time, i wanna tweak the new system to work better.
 
No XMP. It will default to 1600 MHz 11-11-11-28-1T at 1.35 volts. Just manually set your divider, primary ram timings, and voltage. Let the secondary timings on auto. You may need to raise your VCCIO and/or VCCSA voltage. Further tweaking has mine at 2133 MHz 9-10-10-28-1T at 1.50 volts. Amazing RAM.

I'm also planning a 3700K build but was only planning to use 8gb of ram
so i'm assuming 3700k is quad channel and not dual?
Click to expand...

That was a mistake on my part. I got the SB-E and ivy-bridge model numbers confused. ivy-bridge is only dual channel so no you only need 1 set.
 
i have sucessfully installed the ram. 2 sets of dual channel, total 16GB

Sabertooth X79

i believe they are in quad-channel because i saw channel ABCD

default timing. too noob to OC them
 
These chips have no heat spreaders on them. When O/C'ing them is everyone leaving them stock or are you adding spreaders to them? If so, which ones?

First-rate RAM chips, like the ones on these Samsungs, don't need heat spreaders and can almost always overclock better than mystery-quality RAM chips commonly found on modules equipped with monster mother heatsinks that are meant to appeal to the space cowboy fantasies of the ill-informed (who are probably also car "tuners" with clean hands).
 
great memory like others have said , really enjoying this set

I don't have any heat spreaders on mine, but I do have active cooling on them in the form of one of those ram fan setups. My setup is also water cooled...

I'm currently stress testing these sticks at DDR3-2400 11-11-11-28-1T with only 1.475v and it's stable so far. This is easily the best ram on the market right now.

EDIT: I now have it really close to being stable at those speeds. I'm starting to get close to 2hr stable in Prime95. I don't know of any other ram that can pull this off and at the same time costs so little. I mean I basically just bought DDR3-2400 ram for $40.

has anyone tried 4 dimms or 16gb on a z68 board
wondering how they clock at 1.5v

You could try making your own following this little "how-to"...created specifically for these modules.

http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=160687

You could also visit your local hardware store and wander around and see if you couldn't find some other type of aluminum strips (maybe ribbed or slotted) for a slightly different look.
 
I was able to remove the heat spreaders from some low profile ECC DDR3 DIMMs. What would be a good replacement TIM? Can i just use some non-conductive TIM that I'll end up getting for my new heaksink or do I need TIM pads?

I would think that you should be OK with some non-conductive TIM (like Arctic Silver Céramique)

Electrical Insulator:
Céramique does not contain any metal or other electrically conductive materials. It is a pure electrical insulator, neither electrically conductive nor capacitive.

Or you could use a few of these, which is what was used in that "how-to" that I just linked above.

Cool. I was going to buy some NT-H1 so I'll use that :D

I have three models of spreaders to choose from, Samsung, Micron and Hynix. They're slightly different so I'm going to do one of each and see how it works out. The Micron ones use thermal tape so I ordered what you recommended.
