    Hey guys I have a r2 i7 m11x. My current 4GB sticks can only hold an overclock of 164mhz.

    Someone in another thread recommended this RAM

    What RAM sticks do you guys recommend?

    I'll be buying a stick of Hynix H5TQ2G83BFR-H9C today. Will report back when I get them.

    A local store stocks them.
    You're in New Jersey so look around the Newegg website for the RAM. They have decent resolution images most of the time and their selection is large. That G.Skill RAM is Hynix.

    I just got my G.Skill RAM. Turns out they are not Hynix chips like on the website but are actually G.Skill F3-10666CL9S-4GBSQ. They clock similar to my Samsung M471B5273CH0-CH9. Gained 3mhz BCLK.

    They used different modules for the same RAM, down to the name, so even Newegg images are not definate.
