Do you use an aftermarket CPU fan cooler with those massive heatsinks? Just wondering if the height short enough like the Corsair LP ones.

Brilliant, ordered. Cheers.

great price

Also remember Quidco :-)

Thanks, ordered. Do you have this exact version? I think the faster speed is better than having a lower latency grade (CL15 vs CL14) but doubt I'll notice the difference. 16GB is overkill in any case for me but might be of use in the future so for the sake of ~£20 more, it's worth getting.

I'm looking at building a pc around April time... would this memory be ok for any DD4 compatible motherboard? as most go up to 2133mhz... would the memory just run at a lower speed?.

Nice deal, just need a new everything for it to be useful lol.

I remember when Ram cost £48 for next to nothing ram.....they were the days!

Exact same model, I just bought 2 separate 8GB sticks as it was cheaper at the time.

Wouldn't worry too much about speed or latency, makes no real difference.

XMP is basically a profile set for the memory that was tested to work up to the specification. You can get the same effect by adjusting frequency and timings yourself, you don't need to use it at all.

Thanks for the explanation. So if a motherboard says it will support up to 2133Mhz, XMP/fiddling around the settings will be of no use as the speed is capped at 2133Mhz by the manufacturer if I understood that correctly?

The 6700K for example, memory wise, is rated DDR4-1866/2133, DDR3L-1333/1600 @ 1.35V from Intel Ark. Which I think is just a way for Intel to give a minimum specification. Features are limited mostly per chipset/motherboard. I don't think any Z170 motherboard will be limited to DDR4 2133MHz but I haven't checked :smile:

To answer your question though. Yes, the limitations are usually per chipset/motherboard. I doubt XMP can supersede the motherboards limitations. As you said before, the memory would just run at a lower frequency so it shouldn't be a problem if there is a 2133MHz limit.

​Z170 will go 3600+
You'll get a stable clock on these bad boys at around 3000-3200 depending on cooling and mobo.

Cheers OP & rest of you guys for helping me out just ordered :-).

Yes.

It's 79 now ?

These, plus a 6600k, plus Asus pro gaming z170 itx board ordered today for a total after cashback of about 325.

Good day!

No you need to add free shipping first then the 'ddr4' code to get it for £59.99 :confused:

heat added

Great deal! Heat added and purchased. Will go great with my new rig :smiley:

Unless someone can correct me otherwise, this isn't optimal RAM for an X99 board is it, which would be best with Quad channel, i.e 4x4GB as opposed to 2x8GB?

Well and truly expired now :disappointed:
