I have checked the part number on corsair web and found this

http://www.corsair.com/catalogsearch...T4GX3M2A2000C8

When I compare the part number and other specs (SPD from previous screens) its certain that modules which are currently being sold here are lower grade... (or at least different grade)

CryptiK

Seems they are the 8-9-8-24 PSC based kit, as opposed to the hyper based 8-8-8-24 'CMG' kits.

You sure the ones you have available now are 8-8-8-24?

Offler

The shop is selling them like 8-8-8-24. Does not necessary means that they are selling exact part number or description. People in shops use to copy/paste the description of the product.

I try to focus on this and ask at the shop... At all i think the Part number will be correct and description is bad. (PN has to be scanned before the documents are created).

CryptiK

Well the Hyper models were 'CMG' and were version 2.1 (says on sticks) and have 8-8-8-24 timings @ 1.65v.

If they have these modules in stock, they're old stock. If there something else, chances are they are not hypers.

Corsair put better chips into faster models of memory (by means of higher frequency and higher CAS). And while such frequency is quaranteed they will be more expensive.

CryptiK

Yeah all PSC or other loose timing IC based. Not like the Hypers of old with super tight timings. Glad I have a stash!

With SB/P67 the loose timing cheap stuff seems to be going well and Hypers not so well, but since Im staying with X58 I need the tightest timings I can get at any given frequency.

I have rechecked the stock of single shop which can deliver some better memory sticks..


So I decided to find new memory. My OCZ 1600 7-7-7-18 is quite good, but it will be impossible to get another pair to have 8gb.

Sooo lets say I want Elpida MGH/MNH -E Hyper

According this list
http://ramlist.i4memory.com/ddr3/

I can choose:
A-DATA 4GB KIT DDR3 1866MHz CL8 XPG Plus Series Ver 2.0

Corsair - no Hypers in list. no CMG on stock, surely not Elpidas

Kingston - No hypers in stock.

Zeppelin - After 70 years of making airships they start to make memory modules


****

So only way how to get good elpida chips is to buy Adata? some years ago this was very lowcost choice, but if they have those modules is it worth it?

Your best choice would be to look around for a used set of MGH-E Hypers. The A-Datas are 50/50 as to whether they're MNH-E or MGH-E.

Overclock.net and Xtremesystems both often have a few kits for sale. You may need to dig around to find specs on the models, but the most common sticks to come up are the Corsair Dominator GT 2000 8-8-8's like I have or any of the Super Talent sticks (2000 7-7-7, 2000 8-8-8, 2133 8-8-8, 2200 8-8-8).
