Hi all i am thinking on buying these sticks of ram


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231311&cm_re=8gb_ram-_-20-231-311-_-Product

those are 2 modules of 4gb ram each @ 1333MHz wich i was planning to overclock to 1600Mhz but my concern was the timing........ it is 9-9-9-24...is that good for HEAVY GAMING??

is there any way i can reduce the timing ...also i saw on newegg a much more attractive set of ram from GEIL it has a timing of 7-7-7-20 that for what i know it is better....

BUT the only review it has says it suck it was DOA...etc i cant let that happen since what i am going to buy is going to ship to venezuela.... so i cant RMA or anything..... they are both at the same price 89.99 altough the geil memory is only @1066 Mhz and the G.SKILL is @ 1333 ...so what should i buy??

Yeah, that is good for heavy gaming.



That linked Geil only has 1066 mem speed. Go for 1333 instead. If I choose between two, I would go for G.Skill link above.
