hey, im buying another couple of sticks of ram for my PC and have hit a confusing barrier what is the difference between these to kinds of RAM scan have - http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/4GB-...6-(1333)-Non-ECC-Unbuffered-CAS-9-9-9-24-150V which is TW3X4G1333C9A and overclockers have - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-172-CS which is TW3X4G1333C9 (the same without the A and with an extra £10) is there a difference? the ram i have now is the TW3X4G1333C9 (the overclockers one) if there is a difference which is better? thanks for the help, really appreciate it
Whats your current PC? The simple answer is no, there the same. But, by the sounds of things you've already got 4gb of RAM DDR3 1333mhz. So unless your doing a really heavy video encoding or what ever your not going to need getting any more RAM - besides it would be better having 1600mhz RAM if you were doing that.
im actually a 3d artist, and software like zbrush really hogs ram so would probably have to get to 16Gb before it started to be over kill.......and then im not positive
ah okay. By the looks of things they are the same chip. Basically it's stating it is stable in voltages from 1.5 - 1.65 on overclockers, but scan have left that detail out. That's what I think anyways. Heck, if you want, send scan an email?
already have, but don't expect a fast response edit: contacted scan and asked them about it, the chap said he couldnt see an "A" on the corsair website so im guessing its a typo or something, ill go ahead and get the ones from scan i think. edit02: recieved an email from scan saying they are definitly identical and that the "A" was the older name for them (same RAM) they cant update cos of their system relying on the code, or something like that. alls well that ends well have ordered another 4gig and 3 sharkoon fans for my case, i just really hope the damn PC will shut up a bit now hehe
recieved the RAM yesterday. the RAM wasnt even the same as the stuff pictured on the website. it seems to run at the same spec (same latency and power usage) as the stuff on the website but looks COMPLETELY differant, bit peeved but if it works it works i suppose, just hope that when it comes to the time to overclock it overclocks the same.
Well, if you do a ram tester and it's incorrect RAM -different name, timings, speed etc, contact scan immediatly - you only have 48 hours to get that sorted. It maybe that it's just a new type of casing they've replaced from their older models.
