Corsair XMS4400 Vs. G. Skill TCCD

[Keetha]

I was just wanting to know why people seem to be reccommending the G. Skill over the Corsair?

Corsair - Note highest performance

G. Skill - Note AMD highest performance

Or is it something to do with the unknown difference between the two G. Skill?

Or will the lower latencies of the higher priced one affect the max OC? (I just realized there were two versions as I was writing this). Anyways, any help (and opinions!) is appreciated as always.

note that with anandtech, the highest performance isn't always at the same clock speed as the others. here it's comparing 2.57(?)ghz to 2.7ghz.. of course the scores will be different..
yes, the corsair clocks higher, but you're comparing some older tccd to newer tccd.
and the lower the latencies are at a given clock, the higher clock speed you're likely to get with that stick of ram once you raise timings.
