Hi there.
I was very surprised to see that the G.SKILL series was running at a lower latency (CAS7) and lower voltage (1.5V) as compared to the Corsairs (CAS8 & 1.65V). My friends told me with the lower voltage, the CPU cores would run a little bit cooler as well.
The RAM, however, since it CAN run at higher speeds on a lower voltage, would it also run at DDR3-1066 or DDR3-1333 speeds at even lower voltages (< 1.5V?)?
Also, why is there a difference between RAM voltages and latency for the different G.SKILL RAM series and Corsair series? Is this necessarily a good thing or bad thing? Would having a lower voltage mean less stability during full loads or just that the product is more superior in design?
I have used G.SKILL only once on a branded Dell motherboard a few years ago. The RAM was working effortlessly and still works to this date. Thus, I wish to use G.SKILL again for my current setup.
Thank you very much!
