125 bucks i have an fx 8350 and a sabertooth 990 fx r2.0 popped it in and it runs fine but wondering what anyone else has done
Thanks in advance

overclocking it will give you close 0 increase in performance. keep it stock

I have same ram but patriot, when following oc guides, the ram is turned down. So 2400mhz isnt really needed or utilized unless you dont oc your cpu and oc your ram but like azn stated there will be minimal performance gain, dont feel bad. I wasted my money too

Paid $115 for patriot viper 3, 2x4gb
Two months later added another set of patriot viper 3. Both are xmp but the timings are slightly different. No preformance Issues, system is oc'd by novice overclocker, me. I cant get sysyem to stay stable past 3.88ghz. Temp not an issue, mobo is 40c and cpu@57c.

i have my 8350 running at 4.8 with the ram running at 2399 with 1t and i got to admit it is real snappy the sabertooth board seems to really like it and every setting is now running at the top of what its capable of

Tradesman1 · May 12, 2014

That's great for an 8350, what timings do you have the Tri's at?

coolcole01 · May 12, 2014

10-12-12-31 just got it so have not got it so havent got a chance to play with timings but i got to admit played a bunch of games no failures ran memtest all good for the 125 i paid for 16 gb i feel like its pretty awesome paired with my fx 8350 and my gtx 780 running at 1121/1552

pdasterly · May 12, 2014

yes it is, i need a professional overclocker if such thing exists. Ive heard good things about the g-skills ram but i guess i got a bad batch or something, ended up selling now my patriot performs flawlessly, isnt that quad channel? 4x4gb?

coolcole01 · May 12, 2014

mine is dual

im basically just playing games now it just feels snappy does not seem to be affecting my fps but still is running programs and switching between them is just amazing

pdasterly · May 12, 2014

you whole system is fast though, take into account that you have ssd too, with that much ram are you running ramdisk? you should, nice setup tho. my system will go to 3.88 ghz, one more bump in speed will crash it, temps are low too

Tradesman1 · May 12, 2014

Sweet, you hit the silicon lottery on your CPU, find very, very few 8350s that can even run 2133 w/ 16GB...hang on to it !

coolcole01 · May 12, 2014

i do love this cpu it does a lot stays cool and uses less voltage than almost every other 8350 i have seen and i was able to get this ram for almost the price i am going to sell my old ram for SCORE

pdasterly · May 12, 2014

I scored on my ram too. Bought 12gb triple channel gskill for $50 on craigslist, sold on ebay for $140

coolcole01 · May 12, 2014

pdasterly :

nice in the end this ram cost me an extra 10 bucks

coolcole01 · May 12, 2014

so the consensus is to leave it alone and just appreciate it for what it is

Tradesman1 · May 12, 2014

Can always try to push higher, make sure you have a record of all settings so you can get back to it

pdasterly · May 12, 2014

they will shine when you start to oc

just got new gskill 2400 ram how far can i push this
