Gskill Sniper Ram Upgrade for X51

[HGJ]

Been reading about the X51 not having XMP capabilities and how that some folks have installed XMP ready ram only to realize 1600 is really only 1333. My question -- can 1866 XMP ready ram such as Gskill Sniper be used since it appears to operate at 1600 without XMP activated?

So I upgraded to 16GB. Installed this:

Bios shows operating at 1600mhz. Runs beautifully. CL9 with i7 3770 is very stable.
WEI = 8.0

I bought the Samsung 12800 memory for 47$ and get 8.1 in wei, not that it matters though. These are overly expensive imo. I'm using that same Samsung ram in my custom build now oc to 2400mhz and its just amazing ram for the price.

That's great. Where did you get the Samsung?

Sorry to necro this thread but what reversion are you using? Of the x51? I have R1 (GTX 555 with 3770 etc.) and I'm in need of a 16GB kit.
