Best G.Skill Ram for Asus Crosshair IV Extreme mobo

[killdrums]

I looked through the QVL and searched for ram at newegg and other places but havent had any luck finding any available.What ram do you suggest and how much?Thanks!Mark

Really depends what your main objectives are for your comp, gaming?
There isn't much to chose from in the 1800-2000MHz range right now, at least with tighter timings.
I want to add another 2x2Gb Flare set, but the CL7 version has been out of stock for a while now.
The Ripjaw series seem to be popular, are you considering 8GB?

[killdrums]

yes 8gig or even 16 stricly gaming triple screens and all!

[killdrums]

i have 4 gigs of this right now...F3-17600CL7D-4GBPIS dunno if thats the right choice or not..

[NemesisChild]

Looks like awesome memory, why don't you just add another 2x2Gb set?

[killdrums]

I will.can that ram be overclocked...its running around 666mhz now?

[NemesisChild]

666MHz = 1333MHz, which is native memory frequency with AM3 boards.
Increase the CPU (FSB) clock to 225 for 1800MHz or 250 for 2000MHz.
Don't forget to manually enter the DRAM voltage and memory timings in your bios.
Run two passes of HyperPi (32M) on all CPU cores to test initial stability.

I've been waiting for a little over a month now for the 2x4GB Flares with low timings and still check every day hoping with no luck.

These are what I'm waiting for and I'm not going to settle for less. =/

Thank you giving us feedback on the availability of the Flare series.
Looking at the Newegg reviews, you are losing a lot of business to your competitors.
Many have mentioned they gave up waiting for the Flares to come back in stock.
Tradesman mentioned something about the high end IC chips being in short supply.

G. Skill, do have an ETA on the arrival of the DDR3-2000 CL7 & CL8 modules?
I'm specifically looking for the 2x4GB (CL7) modules in the 2000MHz Flare series.

Thank you....

[GSKILL TECH]

Other competitors wouldn't have these high specs either.

Unfortunately there is no ETA, but I will keep you guys posted as soon as I hear anything.

Thank you

eta?

any update on availability of any of the flare kits, im looking for [ FLS ] F3-16000CL7Q-8GBFLS (2Gx4) to complete my system build with an ASUS C4E

[Tradesman]

Gskill may have some info later today

[NemesisChild]

Doesn't look good, as I understand it, the high end chips are in very tight supply.

[tiggerinfs]

as long as they are still planning on filling orders, i will try to be patient, my big concern is we get stalled out indefinitely, then they release info that they will be discontinued. as long as they are still making the stuff, id rather wait for the perfect kit, than settle for a substitute, ya know
