    If you want to wait, I should have them tomorrow or the next day and try em out then. I bought 16GB.

    Reason why even if it's 1333 still awesome is, it will run less than 1.35v and CL8. It's CL9, 1.35v for 1600.

    Either way, it's a huge win I think. + Lifetime warranty. I think our Bios will recognize it as 1600 and run it as 1600 anyway.

    Because the Sager laptops do not have an option in the BIOS to change RAM timings and CAS latency, they would clock at 1333Mhz.

    Just get the PnP memory if you want the 1600Mhz and you should be just fine.

    As said, if these clock at 1333, then they are still worth it over HyperX 1600 just because it will run at a lower voltage than 1.35, I think it's around 1.25v and it will run at CL8. One less cycle I think is worth it over 1600, since, no one will notice any real world difference between 1333/1600.

    They have XMP Profiles, but still have JEDEC tables. XMP should allow it to run faster and/or with tighter timings.

    CAS makes absolutely no difference in gaming with a dedicated card nor does dual channel/single channel or speed. If it says CAS 9 @ 1600MHz, it will run at CAS 9 @ 1600MHz.

    1.35V, 1600 DDR3, CL9
    - Also due to the way the board is manufactured, this ram is supposed to run cooler also. Sweet! Fast, low latency, low voltage and cool? Mmmm
