Hello, I had Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz C10 2x8GB rams, I had to change them because I discovered that they weren't compatible with my new Noctua NH-D15 cooler. They were running in dual channel. When benchmarking using AIDA64, I had these results: http://i.imgur.com/bEU3HVC.png
Now I have HyperX Savage 1600MHz C9 1x8GB ram (I am planning to add another one) which is advertised with even better latency (currently running at 9-9-9-27) but results I get with the same benchmark is this: http://i.imgur.com/zucBfWX.png
Now, that's half the amount of read, write and copy speeds. granted latency is better but shouldn't 1600MHz modules have at least similar read, write and copy speeds? I don't know but I doubt that running in dual channel would double performance. Now I worry that adding another would be waste if this ram model is not as fast as vengeance ones.
P.S please don't tell me that I would not notice the difference either way, I know that even when speeds are that different, I wouldn't notice them in normal use. I don't care about that, I care about the numbers.
