My QVL Memory Kit "Silently" removed from QVL List

if cl14 is stable then i wouldnt be panicking that much about 2933 esp. if its at the cost of cl16 or higher

if you want to put much effort in after try getting some of the other timings down a bit

winwiz youve added three comments to this thread

how about you actually post some help to the guy

all your posts surely cant be negative/disagreemental

Well, it's not fiddling with it day and night. You solved your problem by throwing loads of cash at a very high-end set of memory sticks. I'm solving my problems in a much cheaper way and making myself more knowledgeable in the process. I get my rocks off in life by "knowing" how things work. You aren't the knowledgeable chap about memory sticks that I thought you were in the beginning.

How much did you pay for your kit of FlareX? It's currently selling for over $200.00 on NewEgg. Double what I paid. Life for me is a learning process from beginning to end. I'm in no hurry right now.

The "SELL, SELL, SELL" was in quotes to highlight your responses as exaggerated solutions to a problem which might be solved much cheaper and easier through knowledge versus money.

Also, please explain why the settings I show in the screenshot are somehow "bad" if my system is up and running stable @ 2666MHz for the first time since I bought these chips 3 years ago?

I was stuck @ 2133MHz the whole time I used them on my Intel based system but that was my own fault. I've been stuck @ 2133MHz on my AMD based system for awhile. But this time it's not my fault since I got a compatible motherboard that supports memory overclocking.

So, right now I'm up 533MHz and you want me to sell the chips, why?

Yes, the difficult experience has been educational for me. I've learned things I didn't know before. And I'm still learning now. If I bailed on everything I attempted the moment it became difficult I would never know anything.

The more I learn "now" from these memory sticks you categorize as not being 'decent' the more educated I'll feel when I actually do purchase my next memory kit.

Your own words:

"No matter what brand or model you decide to stick to, choose the smallest possible CL-number aka CAS latency."

So, please, help me understand, why these chips are inherently not 'decent'?

Thank You very much kind sir.

Well, two points come to mind regarding your comments.

#1 Suggesting these chips are not 'decent' is not entirely fair since Patriot never said they would be compatible with an CPU architecture that would be released 3 years into the future. These might run @ 3000MHz upon first boot if I had paired them up with a proper Intel CPU on a Z-chipset motherboard. The blunder of pairing up incompatible components is a responsibility I accept personally. I've desperately tried to recycle older RAM in the wake of criminally high DDR4 memory prices. Although, they are finally beginning to slowly drop at the moment.

#2 If you can convince me that these chips are NOT decent in light of point #1 then I'll be happy to consider selling them to somebody. Although, it might not be EBay as I think their hands go way to deep down into my pants for the trivial service that they provide.

Thanks for reading
