I've been using my "miracle" Samsung RAM for over 2.5 years now, but it was never able to go over 2133mhz due to my Asrock Z77E-ITX + 3570K combo. There seems to be a weird incompatibility issue with those 3 components in which they have trouble hitting 2133mhz (at any timings) despite my own RAM easily hitting 2000mhz with 9-9-9 timings at somewhere around 1.55V. I really like the fact that the Samsungs are only half as tall as regular RAM and are all black, but the Sniper RAM is all black as well.
To add on to this, I now have a new pair of GSkill Sniper RAM that does 2400mhz with 10-12-12-31-2T timings at 1.625V and seems to be stable with some IBT and Prime95 testing. Should I stop using my Samsung RAM and use the GSkill instead or does the extra overclock not really matter?
TL;DR:
Samsung (2000 @ 9-9-9-27 1.55v)?
GSkill (2400 @ 10-12-12-31 1.625v)?
Which would you pick and why?
