Anybody have HyperX x 4 modules?

I'm interested right now in how these rams perform,

as I'm seeing that they run at 1866MHz, and as plug and play, they overclock themselves.

Although Sandy Bridge i7 only supports 2 x 4GB 1600MHz, especially the P150HM with limited chipset, will these modules run at 1866MHz?

More so, if I get 4 modules(2 sets) of these, will these function at their advertised speed?

I want to confirm and make sure everything works before I go buy it and find out, otherwise I would go for the 1600MHz as it is cheaper, and would work at tighter timings at 1333MHz even if the 1600MHz for 4 dimms does not work..

Any ideas?

 

4x4 GB HyperX 1600 PnP works for me without any problem (with the 1600MHz).

 

Yes it works 16GB (4x4) @ 1866mhz just fine, just make sure you have a QM processor (2720+) and you'll be fine. We actually offer that as a configuration option.

 

Those even run on 2133Mhz (highest JEDEC for Sandy Bridge)



But the CL11@2133Mhz from that test isn`t stable... guess CL12@2133Mhz is the sweetspot here.

 

I am also running 4 x 4GB 1600 PnP. However, the RAM seems to much hotter. My keyboard is now warm from the RAM under it and I never had that issue with the stock RAM. Note it doesn't feel hot, but warm. I do not know the temps.

 

Good to know,

the pnp RAM does its job I guess..

Are there performance differences going from 1600MHz to 1866MHz? I'm not sure I can justify the cost difference between the two. 1600MHz HyperX isn't that expensive.. but 1866MHz is a bit too expensive, I guess.

 

We have a thread where we compare them, but lets just say its between 2-3% performance increase per step so 1333->1600->1866 you get 2-3% better performance at each speed.

 

It depends on what you're doing, but the difference is minimal. You're more likely to see it in benchmarks rather than real world tasks. I'd go with 16GB 1333 over 16GB 1866 if just for the large cost difference.

 

Yup, I'm still not sure if I should make the jump..

Just contemplating and waiting to see some price drops..

 

Does the NP8130 support 4x4 DDR3 1866 if i have a 2670qm?

Not : Intel® Core? i7-2670QM Processor (6M Cache, 2.20 GHz)

 

Yes, but Sager's mobo for some reason forces DDR3-1600 to run at DDR3-1600 for the 2630qm. Also, it can do 21.3GB/sec memory bandwidth, isn't that a sign it could run DDR3-2133?

Tell that to Intel improved the error on his website.

 

I read somewhere that the 2630QM~2670QM can accept up to 1600MHz PnP.

And that the 2720QM~ can handle more than that.

I'm not too sure about the 1866MHz PnP in 26x0QM as I've never seen a poster who used that..
