Lots of ram deals lately, here's another one, sorry if posted already.
Speeds start at 2133 MT/s and faster data rates are expected to be available as DDR4 technology matures
Increase bandwidth by up to 32%
Reduce power consumption by up to 40%
Faster burst access speeds for improved sequential data throughput
Optimized for next generation processors and platforms

Just checked, and as suspected there is 0 difference between this and faster/more expensive kits in real life life usage:
Yep. There's a bit more to 'real life usage' than just gaming.

all the other memory is overclocked, this one can still be O.C.

Got any good laptop memory deals 8gb upwards?

Well, I gave in and ordered a set. Hopefully it will overclock to 2666mhz then my build will be really good price/performance.
So weird ordering the least expensive parts first. First the cooler that had 40% off and now the ram. Only the motherboard and the CPU left. (Oh and ordered some thermal paste already)

do not forget, a full bucket of water ready just in case before you start the pc and good luck

They will do that easily. My MSI board has memory overclock options for different chips... you can just pick "micron" in the BIOS (who are crucial obviously) and select 2666mhz... and it works :smiley:

Not sure why I'd need a bucket of water unless you want me to have water cooling lol

He means in case it catches fire, or he wants you to stand in it lol.

Thanks - very useful. A 57% speedup in encoding is very useful.

I think I'm gonna have to stand in it cause nothing that I overclocked caught on fire in the last at least ten years :smiley:

Also I have this ram and its VERY overclockable if you wish to do so:
