Most of the time with a new build your system will default to conservative speeds & timings to make sure you’re able to boot properly — usually 1333 for newer systems. The exception would be if you already had your board set to use XMP settings, for example, but clearing your CMOS should solve that problem.
I mean the max asus says it can handle is 1866.
I would honestly just get 8-16 GB of RAM with speeds somewhere between 1600 and 2133MHz.
Why ruin it with a fan?
Rumors I’ve heard are pointing towards Ivy Bridge-E still using the 2011 socket and X79 chipset, so we probably won’t see DDR4 on that platform. I would expect that Haswell-E may go for DDR4, but most likely not til 2014 at the earliest.
You do like, 300dollars for nice looking RAM, and you put shitty 20dollar fans on em ?! D:
???? in the description link, it says 354.99
Paul’s Hardware: It’s like Newegg, but without all those other annoying people. (Except Kyle, he’s cool.)
Oh thanks i did not realize that! Well if you have deep pockets then it’s still nothing. Wish i had deep pockets to waste 600$ on ram lol
You look & sound like Fred Durst.
Great in-depth reviews btw;)
Not worth it
do you need to use te fan?
could you get your hands on corsair vengeance extreme 3000 MHz?
lol ikr
Hi Iv got Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 RAM 1600MHz CL9 can I pot the Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1866MHz CL9 DOMINATOR PLATINUM CMD8GX3M2A1866C9 in ? AND Motherboard is a ASUS Z87-PRO will the DOMINATOR’S go in with no problem’s ?
Take the protective sticker off the side…I love this Ram!!!
i got it, the ones you’re reffering to have tighter timings than these particular ones. But thats a steeeeeeeeeep price increase for those tighter timings lol
You shipping For brazil ?
could you do a video of DDR4 memory, and explain what the difference will be and such.
im going to build a pc with that but im getting 8X8 64GB because the asus rampage vi im using has a 8 dual channel slots plus im using the intel i7-3970X extreme edition
Who will even need this?
Can…can I have it? c:
my board supports 1600mhz triple channel kit, can i still install 4 rams for all dims with 1600mhz mems?
Would have been nice to see the Airflow installed and working 😉
Are there 8gb kits of this.
Waste of money, keep up the great vids
i dont get it corsair link ??? where to connect them and what to do whit them ???
the best motherboard ive found that can handle that is the asus ROG rampage iv that has 8 dual channel ram slots can hold the intel i7-3970X extreme edition socket LGA 2011 Sandy bridge-e and has the intel X79 chip set and can hold 3 sli graphics cards and a few other things i cant think of you should do a unboxing of it its one kick ass motherboard
but Paul do we really need ddr4 right now it is gong to have more speed?????
Hey Paul, I had a question. When I first post my computer with this quad kit will it post? I just want to make sure I don’t need to have 1600mhz or something to get it posted. Kind of a noob 🙂
Ivy Bridge- E most likely to have DDR 4 Mem. still using DDR3 1600 Mhz triple channel mem in my X79 . 24 GIGS still managed to pull 5GHz out of it and RAM DISK makes a good 10 G read write. But this Mem is Pr0n
Henry, you’re right
Why don’t you get like 1600 or 1866 g skill ram. 7 cas latency lol
Does the Dominator work with the AMD 6300 Black Edition-processor and the ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0, Socket-AM3+ motherboard? Or is this just for Intel?
nope, it’s pretty much confirmed that haswell-E will be the first consumer platform that supports DDR4. just google “haswell e ddr4”.
IMO, I wouldn’t put that mem cooler on top of those sexeh lookin dominators, seems to look better with just the rams on,
Not in Belgium 🙁
Europe meh.
dominator platinum goes up too 3000 mhz for the best but its only 8g and you pay alot for those babies, if you are a gamer the 2133mhz version would be far better and more stable, it has a lower latency, and you can really see the performance upgrade IMO, agree with the comment about not needing anything higher than 2133mhz unless you plan to overclock PROPERLY and know what your doing.
LOL
I will be getting the Maximus V formula with the 3770K. Should that run fine? Thanks for the reply! Much appreciated!
this ram or G-Skill Trident or kingston Hyperx Beast ??
do you need to use the fan ?????????????????????????????????????????
I’m not Paul, but I can say that this would depend on your system specs. It will not work on old or cheaper motherboards or at least it is very unlikely to. You can downclock memory by checking the lower freq. profile settings, but that kind of beats the idea of buying extra OC RAM.
That might seem silly to you, but it’s made for people who are using 3930K, 3960x or 3970x and pairing a $60 USD kit with a $1000 USD processor is just ridiculous.
You don’t need the fan. It is a bonus.
