Getting tired of reading about "faster" RAM with stupid high latencies. Won't even go into the dumb looking (and unnecessary) heatsink.

 

[Mike Friesen]

The latencies aren't actually higher John, because of their insane speeds. I'm not certain how, but the latencies are directly related to speed. (so whereas 9-9-9 is average for 1333mhz, 11-11-11 is the same latency for 1600mhz ram.) The latencies are surprisingly low at this speed.

What's the obsession with high-clocked RAM? Other than maybe APU's of course.

If you're using an APU, the operating frequency of RAM makes a rather large difference to performance. It can easily be the difference between a game being playable and a game being a slideshow.

Secondly....the world doesn't revolve around gaming. The vast majority of hardware is developed with no consideration for gaming at all.
