Probably so he can overclock. +1 I've been shackled by my current ram in my OC attempts, and the cost difference between slower speeds and other brands was not enough to pursue something different. Sad moment though: found the XFX R9 290 for the same price I paid for my 270x...crazy how things change in 4mo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Why that memory though...seems excessive compared to the rest... Probably so he can overclock. I fail to see the need for more than 1600Mhz...the money could have simply distributed to other areas of the build. Memory is the last place one should splurge. IMHO. It never pays I've been shackled by my current ram in my OC attempts, and the cost difference between slower speeds and other brands was not enough to pursue something different.

Sitting on 4gigs(1 stick) of 10700 that will not budge when I try to OC. http://forums.overclockersclub.com/index.php?app=gallery&image=2583 I have another 2gb stick, but running them both was causing issues. I would have saved about $10-15 going to 1600 speed, not a make-or-break difference...plus the 2400 gives me room to upgrade other parts down the road.

StumpFuMaster Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 It is, but every time I try to boost speed past the 3.8 starting point, computer won't post, giving me a memory fault code. I managed to get to 4.0 once, but it wasn't stable and crashed as soon as I launched D3. I've tried everything I can think of to get the current setup to scale up, same memory error code every time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
