G.SKILL Ripjaws X + Turbulence II Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL9D-8GBXLD

Comments: Make other colors LED available and I wouldn't mind.....

Pros: I bought this mem actually by mistake, but being the tweek-geek that I am, I had to try it on my Asus Sabertooth 990FX with an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Blk. It took a few seconds for "Any-Mem" to recognize it, but when it did, it was crazy fast. Booted right to the bios to check things out, and the mem had defaulted itself to 1866Mhz with the CPU @ 3863. I decided to push it a bit, but bring down the CPU, and low and behold it actually cranked "past" 2133 by just a small margine. I was too excited to write down data so I can't tell you exactly what it was without being uncertain I'd be lying. However, I do know it was somewhere aroung 2156 @ 10/11/10/30 and "no" voltage tweaks!

Cons: The down-side to all this is that its not supported for AMD, and if anything happened to my Sabertooth, or any other component of my rig (2XCrucual M4SSD 64GB-raid0, 2XSapphire HD 6790 1Gb in CrossfireX, AMD 1090TBlk that hits 4gig any time I want it) I'd kinda be upset.

Overall Review: If this mem will do this on an AMD rig with a 1090T on a Sabertooth 990FX, just think what it will do on your Intel rig....that is, if you know what your doing to start with. Granted, theres always the exception to the rule, and there may be some that get a bad set, but doubtful. Especially given what you've just read about my experience with an AMD setup on a Sabrtooth 990FX Tuff series. I don't intend on returning this set, as I have a few friends that will be more than happy to get it for their Intel rigs, and there's nothing better than getting tp see your gaming buds face light up when that machine kicks in and runs like a Bat-outa-h**l. Good mem G.Skill. Now make some for us AMD users will ya?

Comments: Overall this is good RAM due to the lower cost but it has not lived up to the claim of 2133 speeds for me.

Comments: I was an idiot with this RAM and wasn't getting desired speeds.. I then noticed I had placed my RAM in the wrong slots.. IE Slots 1 and 2 instead of 1 and 3(my MB isnt color coded).. I completely forgot and after installing the fan on top of the RAM it was out of sight and mind... LOL

G.Skill will be seeing ALOT more of me.

Comments: Chances are your board with place these at 1600mhz,dont fret,just overclock!

Comments: Alot of people give bad reviews on memory because it is not detected at advertised speed. This memory defualts to 1600.
Hay... Understand that with the higher memory speeds. Memory loads at defualt speeds and MUST be adjusted in BIOS.
That is why most will list speed and timings.
If you know what your doing, you don't even need to match with a motherboard QVL! I have never used a QVL for memory. I do make sure to match the Type and speed with the MB and have not had problems. I have built PCs for over 15 years.
