Samsung ram or ripjaws

[omghaxcode]

I know a lot of you like the Samsungs but at out of the box speeds, which is faster? Is the Samsung set prefered just because of the overclock?

I upgraded from g skill rip jaws x 1866 cas 9 1.5v to samsung 30 nm. Both 4x4gb. I can run Samsung at 2000 cas 9 and not tried higher. Mostly a side grade but I didn't need to shell out from my pocket.

Based on my own criteria, I would probably buy the Samsung kit.

Samsung.

Low profile
low voltage
Amazing overclockers

Out of the box would be better the ripjaws cause the cas latency is lower ... however the performance difference is so negligible that you wouldn't even notice the difference in real-world applications.

So I would say the Samsung are preferred, but not only for the great overclocks they give but also for the fact that they are low profile and low voltage.

Oh, but the name Rip Jaws sounds soo cool!

The Samsung

Get the Samsung.

Stock speeds are completely determined by the specifications, two kits with the same specs will perform identically. In this case the Ripjaws kit is faster due to tighter timings. However, the other benefits of the Samsung kit (lower voltage, great overclockers, no stupid heatspreaders) far outweigh a trivial difference in timings.
