C1? Aren't the C1s the first retail stepping?

Thanks man for the heads up! :) I go check properly and then open new thread if need be!

Back to TS's prob. Maybe go get ValueRam to tong first and then camp for Black Friday offers?

got difference one

that's why the early skylake gaming benchmarks lose a little to 4770k 4790k
because ddr4 2133 2400 cl15 cl16 vs ddr3 with lower cl

Eh. Skylake really does lose because overall bandwidth is still higher :s11: Modern IMCs are not CL sensitive.

Nope. Not at all. Maybe 2400 if you're paranoid but 2133 is plenty to get by.
