NOTE: We haven’t tested many memory kits on this Z77-based test system, so we felt it would be worth including results from our Dual Channel Z77 system featuring the 3770K processor. Obviously these results shouldn’t be used as a direct comparison, but more to highlight a wider overview of performance levels between the various Intel platforms.

almost wet myself at those results. Any ideas when its out? I bought a Corsair H100 last month, what a cooler ! love it to death.
Very impressive kit. That said, 2,666mhz memory is still a little overpriced IMO. 2,400mhz is a lot cheaper and I wouldn’t think many people could notice the difference in the real world.
im waiting on 3,200mhz kits 🙂
you can get 16GB of slightly slower memory for 2,666mhz prices. Not for me, but interesting to read. I can see it being worthwhile in the pro industry for rendering.
@ Darth Digglers. No one needs 16GB of memory for gaming or even ordinary duties. id rather put the money into speed, not quanitity.
Good memory, shame they went for such huge heatspreaders, id have bought 16GB of it for my Z77 board, but id need to check my phanteks cooler I reckon before it would work right in the slots due to spacing.
