Posted March 21, 2014 NCIX: http://bit.ly/OGoyfI Amazon: http://georiot.co/3Iek G.SKILL memory was, at the beginning, very niche/high performance stuff at a very high price. Over the years they went from "only for extreme overclockers" to delivering great, stable mainstream RAM but they still haven't lost that niche appeal. This kit right here... Only validated on ONE board officially. So yeah, that's as niche as it gets, but that doesn't change the fact that WE think it's awesome! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08jPTnYbh7E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 21, 2014 and I thought Dominator ram was expensive..... and it is but like seriously? $850, i get it there is more expensive like Doms but at what point do you draw the line paying for premium high speed stuff? It definitely has to a small market, first you need someone who needs/wants 64GB's of ram, then you need someone who needs/wants 2400MHz ram, then you need someone who has the money, I would think this is the part where most who "want" the ram can't afford it and only the people who need it can buy it and that market is small.

Posted March 21, 2014 I wish I had bought 2011 systems instead of these 1155 based ones. 32GB just isnt enough for what I use them for. I suppose I can wait for DDR4 to become more popular.

Posted March 21, 2014 Such a nice system, but so poopy colored fans. <_< Here's an idea for a future video. Make a big fan comparison. I'm sure you must have seen the article that compared a few premium fans and they found out Noctua is among the worst of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 21, 2014 G.Skill is quite a reliable brand though not having been around for very long. 64GBs is totally overkill lol Like watching Anime?

Posted March 21, 2014 I love G.Skill memory, but this kit is $900 Nice post count Linus 8 sticks of 2400mhz 1.65v RAM that is made to perform should cost about that. It's a pretty standard price per 2400mhz DIMM, ~$105 for 8GB. Like I said, made to perform meaning good stability together unlike many dual channel kits at 2400mhz (although this is mostly up to the CPU and motherboard itself). I think an APU + RAM performance benchmark is in order No. Just no. Spend less on RAM and more on a separate GPU / CPU. Edit: That thumbnail, doe.. Pure swag fasho.

Posted March 21, 2014 The TOP ram solution should cost less than the TOP CPU solution in consumer grade products I am just saying....Also the ram kits should be less expensive than buying the modules seperatelly one by one...

Posted March 21, 2014 G.Skill is quite a reliable brand though not having been around for very long. 64GBs is totally overkill lol G.Skill was founded in 1989.. That is 25 years old. Corsair was founded in 1994. Mushkin was founded in 1994. ADATA was founded in 2001. OCZ was founded in 2002. Micron was founded in 1978. Kingston was founded in 1987. I wouldn't exactly say that G.Skill hasn't been around for very long. I completely agree that G.Skill is excellent quality memory. I have owned computer businesses and built 100's of computers. Gave up on so many other brands. I have never had a dead stick of G.Skill, never had a stick that wouldn't meet the speeds on the label. This company has become my go to for many years.
