ir_cow Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Yeah I feel the same way but I had to ask since I was dropping a ton of coin. I actuality had to get the 1600 because the asus px79 board doesn't support 1333 with 8dimms . I thought it was odd but that what asus said probly lied to me....

VaporX Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 a 5% performance difference in the benchmarks posted translated into nothing in the real world, the difference cannot be noticed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 And one thing with that much memory is the processors imc. Operating at the lower ram clock speed of 1333mhz will promote the imc's stability and lower the load temperature. Advantage right.

Il_napoletano Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Maya and Photoshop mainly. It's 90% photoshops fault, my PSD files are 15gb on average because i'm taking gigapan pictures, but past 5 feet i cannot edit them anymore because i run out of ram. Â imagine editing HDR gigapixel files...I want to do that and currently cannot. Â nice....my computer runs at turtle speed if I open one of them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d6bmg Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Get that 1600 module. 1333MHz module will save you some bucks but you will lose headroom for overclocking. So, 1600MHz is the min for LGA1155/2011. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast memory makes no difference in overclocking...hell...slower memory actually makes it EASIER because the IMC doesn't have to work so hard.

d6bmg Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 ^ That's why I've said 1600MHz, not 2133 or 2400MHz. 1333MHz module in a overclocking setup sounds gay IMHO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporX Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Did some shopping on Newegg, I can get an 8 Gig HyperX kit for the same price, 1600 or 1333, with that in mind 1600 is a no brainer. If you are having issues with XMP then I would say it is a BIOS issue or RAM issue. I have used XMP with perfect results each time.

alishathomaz Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 Hardware compatibility might be the problem. check whether the hardware is compatible or not. Also run Anti MalwareByte on your PC and fix registry errors. Hope problem is fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 If you are looking at 64gb then the memory controller on your CPU will really help you decide on a speed bin. 1600Mhz with tighter timings will be your best option. Also you can set up a Ram drive and Ram cache to really drive performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 I got the memory last week, ran memtest and all is good. For once xmp profiles work and it's a nice small boost until I figure out how to oc my self. It oc to 3.8ghz with xmp on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
