G.Skill's F3-12800CL8T-6GBHK Tri-Channel DDR3 memory
@ 2009/01/30If we are going by US prices, at the end of the day we think the G.Skill F3-12800CL8T-6GBHK with its Samsung HCF0 ICs have slightly more overhead than the Elpida-based Corsair DHX+ modules we looked at earlier this week - if your Core i7 CPU can stretch, the memory should accommodate. It may not have anything like the funky and more importantly, moddable (but also patented), DHX+ heatsinks on the Corsair but a case with good airflow should keep the G.Skill cool enough. Moreover, they have a lifetime warranty to cover mishaps and being low profile they're less likely to chance interference with a large CPU heatsink.
At the end of the day, there's not much between any of these memories, but we think the G.Skill is a good buy for our US friends at least because it still hasn't hit our shores yet.
