    I've been told by G. Skill they run at DDR3-1333 with 9-9-9-24 timings. I'm unsure if this correct but the only way to find out if to buy the ram and test it out. As listed, the memory runs at DDR3-1600 with 9-9-9-27 timing, my personal guess is they run at DDR3-1333 with 8-9-8-24 timings. Regardless, this model seems to be a better buy than the G. Skill PC3-10666 version cause it can run at DDR3-1066/1333/1600 and the chips are probably newer too.

    Edit:

    The product has been updated:

    Nice post, did you change any of the timings via BIOS manually?

    Can you show us the "SPD" tab with the Jedec timings?

    Thanks,
