Torn on memory choice

[PelicanPants]

I can real close to pulling the trigger on buying either http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231098 for my new build then I see these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820161667 for a similar price. I was thinking the lower timings on the Wintec would allow for better overclocking but no reviews kind of scares me. I searched other Wintec modules and none got lower than 4 eggs. Does anyone have any experience with the Wintec I linked? Just FYI, they'll be going in a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3. What would be you experts' choice?

Based purely off brand name, I'd go with the G.Skill. Do you plan on overclocking this system? If you do, I'm sure the G.Skill will give you higher and more stable results.

Last time I bought Wintec ram was 5 years ago for my old p3 system. It was cheap ram. That was it.

I was thinking the Wintec because of the timings too. Unfortunately, I snoozed and I loozed. Wintec now out of stock.

G-Skill isnt a bad brand but I have a suggestion you should check out.

Corsair memory is by far the most reliable and smoothest memory around. The timings are better, its more stable and overclock friendly and the heat issues arent as high as other memory. Just my opinion based on tests and building gaming rigs myself.

Good place to review and look for benchmark testing and just good ol to the death testing on pc components.

I can speak from experience on the G. Skill. Works great and OCs well. Did for me anyway.
