Default Which RAM is best? P55/P67

I've been AWOL for awhile due to circumstances both beyond and within my control, and I've done some reading but remain confused when it comes to 4 channel RAM for the P55 and the P67.

I have a P55 Classy that I was just using 2 or my 3 channel modules on, but now I've sold most of that off and am thinking of getting something FASTER. I also have an Asus Masimus iv Extreme on order for which I'm going to need memory for

I'm soo confused ????

Newegg lists modules tested for the P67 up to 1866 while the P55 ones go up to 2500. I'm thinking the faster the better but my head is still in x58 days.

Would appreciate some suggestions

Here's what I've looked at on the egg

all the ram you listed is PSC IC's I know g.skill is tight with their binning, I cant comment on the other compaines. You will be limited by motherboard or better bios atm so it seems.

Would be a good choice to run at 2133 cas 7-9-8-24 or maybe 6-9-6-24 if you are lucky


ORRRR if you dont plan on getting an MSI board hyper is fine lol!

Splavo - I'm getting an ASUS Maximus IV Extreme, not an MSI. Faster RAM will work with that one won't it??

Rick, That's what I've been doing with the P55 so far, but figured Now that I'll have several boards that "require" dual channel" it might be good to invest in some good ones.

You have no problems with your domgts on your other boards?

I'll be floating them around anyway, so a few more docking points wouldn't hurt any

I have my G.Skills out for RMA now, using one Hyper ATM.

Asked G.Skill to send the ones Al linked up. I hope they send me them instead of some dogshit RAM

See what happens, if I get them I will let you know how they do .........

Thanks WD

Now effin Tiger is showing my board on temporary backorder while they do inventory. They say the need two days to count (what a bunch of frack ups) - if they backorder me I'm thinking of going with either the UD7 or the ASUS Revolution ??

Fry's has the 2600K on sale for the same price as MC if you need one!!

Just read Brian and Rick's adventures with the ASUS Reveolution and that takes that board off my list :

LOL, I hope it gets better for the Revolution but could not recomend this board to anyone as of now. I would go as far to say it is a total POS ........

O well, but if you want dual 16x it and the UD7 are the only game in town, and the UD7 pins both cards together. That was the reasoning I used to buy it with. Was going to say F it and get the Maximus 4 but no one had it................. but still single 16x lane with two cards.

I am wondering when eVGA will show up to the party with the new Classy ?
