Gskill marketing scam?

On the plus side, Those are good, stable, and overclockable... No problem so far.

"On the down side is the advertised speed. It tell you DDR3-1333, and CL7-7-7-21. But looking at SPD you see:

CL7-7-7 @ 518MHz (DDR3-1036)
CL8-8-8 @ 592MHz (DDR3-1184)
CL9-9-9 @ 666MHz (DDR3-1333)

So, under normal circumstances, those are DDR3-1333, and those are CL7-7-7, but those are **NOT** DDR3-1333 *AND* CL7-7-7. Marketing BS...

This meen that every time I'll buy memory in the future, I'll have to try to find the SPD info (which is probably hard to find, and which most people will look at you with big eyes and ask why you need that... that the specs are written right upfront in the title...)

However, I overclocked them at CL7-7-7 and seem stable, you should run 24 hour test though..."
