well newegg has some ram, not the exact timing you want tho
7-8-7-20
7-8-7-24-2N
6-6-6-20

and I am seeing a lot of 9-9-9 and 8-8-8-24
This was using newegg and fryselectronics.

If you're looking to try and tighten up these timings, you may have problems. That is probably about as hard as DDR3 can run without corrupting installed software (such as your OS).
The good news is though, you can use 8-8-8-24 RAM and change the timings in your BIOS to what you want (if yours has the option to change timings) usually with just a voltage increase. If you're trying to get the fastest (lowest latencies) RAM, you can pretty much assign it's timings yourself, and get what you want for a little cheaper...
Do your homework, as I would advise to anyone, there's a lot of stuff I don't understand about timings. However, there's a lot that you can do to just about anything, if you know what you're changing and how it will respond.
Good luck, my friend!

Hope this helps...

So I wasn't trying to tell you to go against anybody, and with as much cutting-edge gear as you've got, holy moly!
I thought I was helpin, but if you got all that, then yes, you DO need that RAM. I just didn't know what you were trying to do, and thought you may be able to use some out-of-the-box info.

Have you tried to find "Mushkin Redline" stuff? Is that what this is? A guy that NickN helped out got his i7 950 to 4.2 GHz using that stuff. I'm not an intel guy, but that's a common choice for Intel OCing.

Hope this helps...

Yeah that's what he told me to look for, but the Mushkin is sold out all over the net, I had to email the company last night to see when they will be restocked or if there is a place to get some.

I found one site, but they are some island that does not ship to the USA, so that did not help, and they only had 2 in stock when I looked.

He also mentioned: Geil 2x3GB DDR3 1600 6-7-6-18, but I can't find that either.

I don't think is specifically has to be 6-7-6-18 RAM.



6-6-6-20 sounds decent. Lower = faster.

Have you tried http://www.compusa.com/ and http://frys.com/ also http://www.bestbuy.com/
Just some ideas. You probably already knew about these. I love the hell out of Frys, and their stores always hypnotize me! My Girlfriend hates a trip there! I'm sure, though, it must be what a trip to the mall is like for me...

I went to frys.com and saw this:
http://www.frys.com/product/6103069?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

Maybe this would be near as good, at least for timings and speed. Maybe NickN could give some feedback on this?

I know this isn't the way to do this, but I must share this. you all must see this freeware add on scenery deal for yourselves. This is my favorite forum thingy, and need to share with folks that I talk to regularly. Here's the link to simviation's thread for what I'm talking about. Please check this out!
