Kinky sticks

I really wonder why they are specially Lynfield tagged...

One of the more good-looking memory kits I've seen

rev. 3.1 means they're micron based. Don't expect too much OC headroom, triple channel 3.1 rev's were not very good.

Micron F to be precise

we all know by now that raw bandwidth is not what Core i7 is waiting for, so anything even remotely "ok" rated will be plentiful for i5. This kit is all about size; you can run several VMs in your OS and still have plenty of free memory; you can go decadent and put the VM image onto a ramdisk to boost performance of the VM OS to a higher level than the host OS

Just put this kit in for a quick test;

Needed 1.74V (maybe less, just increased 0.1V - doesn't boot at 1.65V)

Naais

It's Micron so this doesn't surprise me

Well, it's not that stable or performant. I switched back to 1600CL8 and am hitting higher bandwidth figures.
