G.Skill FLARE DDR3 2133 - News???

[NemesisChild]

Don't think there ever was a 2133 Flare set, if so, it's not around anymore.
If you want the 2133 RipjawsX, don't get the set with CL11 timings.
Get the Turbulence set with CL9 timings here:

Even though the CH5F supports 2133 memory, you may not be able to achieve it with a Thuban CPU.
I played around with a 2133 Mushkin set for about a week, the highest stable I could go was around 2087MHz with my 1090T.
It looks like BD will have a better IMC, so it should be able to run 2133+ 24/7.

yeah, that's exactly why i didnt bother getting faster ram, the IMC issues with the 1090t. check this out though... http://www.gskill.com/news.php?index=488 'bout 2 paragraphs down....ooooh la la! CL9 @ 2133 seems pretty slick to me, especially for AMD! AND IT'S FLARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So you recommend i wait for the FLARE?

So you recommend i wait for the FLARE?

it's up to you. the Flare series was actually designed for the Phenom II chips, but they're NOT the only ones out there that will work with them. from what i know of them, they're pretty good chips, fast, reliable, and overclockable.

You know tell me what is the difference in a G.Skill FLARE 2133MHz to G.Skill RipjawsX 2133MHz in an AMD platform?

If the only difference is XMP, I'll buy the RipjawsX.

If there is a difference, what will?

There are different makers of the memory chips used in the modules that are AMD or Intel tested. There are very few AMD tested memory modules available today. The flares and green dominator kits from Corsair are among the very few made for AMD platforms. Regardless of this, most DDR kits work with both platforms fine. Gskill+MSI = not so great on compatibility. That's all you have to bear in mind. Many users on the MSI forums flame G.Skill as a bad manufacturer only because the ripjaws line of memory sells the most units.

[GSKILL TECH]

The MSI issues have been resolved now, so there should be no compatibility issues.

No word yet, but I'll let you guys know. Keep an eye out on the website too. We will post latest information there.

Have no expectation of when it releases? It's hard I stay here waiting ... Say when it releases??? I need a kit 2x 4GB DDR3 2133 FLARE... Do not want to be waiting a month or two without a PC... If you do not know when it releases a FLARE 2133'll buy another kit that is more ideal for my AMD ... Because I do not have the memories ... If you give me a position so I will not have problems waiting... Thank you!

The chips used in these sticks are hard to come by, as far as I know they are constantly looking for them both from the manufacturer and secondary sources...any time they get their hands on some they immediately hit the production line and into the supply tree...with NewEgg normally first on the list....so GSkill is as much out in the cold as you are until they get notified of an incoming shipment or they find some on the open market (not real likely)

FLARE is no difference between the 2000 and 2133?

G. Skill FLARE 2000 CL8-9-8-24
vs
G. Skill FLARE 2133 CL9-11-9-28

Are equal because of the low-latency 2000 or 2133 following slightly better?

[Tradesman]

Overall, pretty much the same, if you were wanting to OC them the 2133 sticks will have a better tolerance to go higher at stock voltage

Sweet! I think it's time to actually RMA my DDR3-1800 flares since my kit went kaput on the MSI 890FXA-GD70 motherboard! Thanks for the update!

You might be waiting for a very long time for the Flares to come back.
Like mentioned before, the high end memory IC's are in tight supply and have been for a while.
If it were me, I wouldn't wait, you might want to consider the CL9 2133 RipjawsX Turbulance II set.

[PhilippeX7]

UP... Please release the FLARE 2133 soon!

Out of curiosity, why are the memory ICs in such short supply? was that something that was produced in Japan? i wanted to wait for the CL7 flares too, but with only having a 1090t rather than spending the extra dinero on a Bulldozer, figured the ripjaws would work just fine, thanks to someone's *coughs n points to Nemesis* advice and a buttload of reasearch.

[GSKILL TECH]

It's the high end stuff that is really short in supply. They usually are anyway, but even more so recently. For many of our best kits, we may only produce 50-100 kits during its lifetime. Our goal is to share high performance memory with users, so even if only a few users get to use them, we still release them. Other companies don't even bother, or care about top performance. Instead they keep a couple kits for testing to claim high benchmarks, and pretend like they care about gamers and extreme overclockers. For these reasons, I always tell people to buy as soon as they see a ridiculous spec or deal. Not because I'm trying to boost sales or something, but these kits can be rare and difficult to come by.
