    how much do you think they're worth? i can clock mine 10 1866 stable but leeve it at 1600mhz since i'm not werll versed in overclocking ram. Reasmon i am asking is because i am thinking about buying 4x8 samsung 1600 sticks so i have a better chance of overclocking past 1866mhz and want to sell my trusty ole g.skill sticks. by selling them i would be trying to recoup costs. what say you? especially the knowledgeable and experienced with overclocking ram.

    Lol. Sorry bout my grammar and spelling. Muscle relaxer kicked in hard last night.

    Part of the reason is price. And 2nd I like tweaking and have heard great things about Samsung ram.

    And also besides paying more if I get 2133mhz I'll want to overclock that. I'd rather take my chances on Samsung ram since I've read they're pretty good at overclocking without touching the voltage. Also, I think I'd take less of a loss if I get the Samsung 1600 ram and sell my G.Skill 1600 ram.

    i only deal with g.skill, crucial and samsung when it comes to ram. anyways, the major point of the thread is how much do you think i can flip 4 good sticks of 8GB G.Skill ram? the minor point was inquiring about samsung ram. can get 4x8GB for $150. do you guys think i can flip the 4 stick of G.Skill for $100?
