Hi all,
I'm back, again - same question as last time, but new Mobo. I just purchased a Gigabyte AM3+ from Newegg, Black Friday and all. It is a GA-990FXA-UD3.
Opinion: Will Sniper F3-1866C10Q-32GSR work on this Mobo?
I've not purchased anything else yet, but I am leaning towards a FX-8150, 8-core. I don't see sufficient advantage to the FX-8350 to go from 3.6 to 4.0 GHz, and I probably won't clock it.
The last time I asked this it was to get my current workstation to 12G RAM. This I7/Asus/GSkill combo is now rock solid stable. But, I am often hitting ram issues w/ a VM running Server 2008, Oracle and an Agile environment, then run SolidWorks or ProE on the host. I'm getting to the point where I may need to have two VMs running at the same time and my current system cannot support this.
Want more cores and more RAM. This is not a gaming machine, performance and stability in balance are the goal. (As cheaply as I can have them since I have to pay for it!)
The G.Skill RAM Configurator has a few options for me for this mobo at 32G:
[ ARES] F3-1333C9Q-32GAO
[ RipjawsZ] F3-12800CL10Q-32GBZL (8Gx4) and
[ ARES] F3-1600C10Q-32GAO (CL-10, $145)
But, coming in a little faster and also less $ are the Sniper series:
F3-1866C10Q-32GSR
The Ares tested latency is 10-10-10 2N at 1.5V
The Ares are listed for both 8-Series and X79 chipsets
The Sniper (RipjawsZ on G.Skill site, same p/n) is a bit faster and has tested latency at 9-10-9-28 2N at 1.5V.
The Sniper is only shown for X79 chipsets.
Thanks,
PT
