I am putting together a new I7 3770 build and noticed memory prices seem to have gone up in the last few weeks here in Australia..

Amazon UK has some good deals on DDR3 RAM

The one that stood out to me was Kingston Hyper X Black - 2 x 8gb

It is CL10 RAM. Model number KHX16C10B1BK2/16
According to Kingston's web site, Black modules are better than Blu. They are certainly more expensive here in Australia… Not sure you'll notice much of a difference though unless you are overclocking…

Lifetime warranty from Kingston.

If you buy one pair of modules it is around $100 AUD delivered (68.54 GBP)

If you add additional pairs the increase in postage costs is minimal so the cost of each pair of RAM falls.
Eg. 2 x 16gb packs (2x8gb) is around $185 delivered (126.09 GBP)

Cheapest on staticice is $135 + postage…

    I have heard that i7 only supports up to 1333MHz. So what good is 1600MHz? I also have 1600MHz, just because I didn't know any better.

      It's motherboard dependent. Check your model's specs. If it's from the last 5 years, it should be able to handle at least 1600MHz.

      Check your motherboard bios and make sure xmp is turned on. Even if you only run it at 1333 or 1066 having more memory is better than less.

    will these fit in a late 2012 (nov) mac mini? i7 quad

      Mac mini uses so-dimm : laptop memory

        ah. i c.

        i found some from crucial for $125

        i guess thats as cheap as it gets. thanks for the info.

  • giggles on 15/04/2013 - 08:57

    1600Mhz @ CL10? no thanks. Blues are CL11. Ripjaws are CL9.

    • firstpost bekind on 15/04/2013 - 09:12

      How much more are the cl9 tho? For someone who just wants 16gb this is a great price.

    • c9407486 on 15/04/2013 - 11:14

      Geezz I wish I read this before ordering. Does it mean this RAM won't work with Intel Socket 2011pin motherboard and i7-3820? I just built the system using Gigabyte X79-UP4 and i7-3820.

      • CH on 15/04/2013 - 11:20

        Ideally you would get two sets of these, as s2011 a has quad-channel memory controller.

        • c9407486 on 15/04/2013 - 11:24

          I ordered 2 sets. Will they run on my system without any issue?

        • CH on 15/04/2013 - 11:30

          They should be fine.

        • c9407486 on 15/04/2013 - 11:46

          Thank u. As soon as I saw some1 saying CL9 and 10 and no thanks I got panicked.

        • giggles on 15/04/2013 - 14:34

          You will be fine. I just recon $15 is worth a performance bump and local warranty. Also, unless you are editing video or huge photowork, then 8Gb is enough for 99% of people. Heck, I'm still running 4Gb in my Win8 media centre and only 2.5Gb is in use most of the time. I haven't upgraded as it's a great Gskill Eco kit that runs 1600 CL7 @ 1.35v, yes 1.35v box spec!
