Think Computers have reviewed the high performance dual channel G.Skill ARES quad channel memory kit, which have timings of 11-11-11-30 @ 1.6v.

Let's see what they had to say:

"I really like that G.Skill has these low-profile modules along with all their other memory lines. Almost every larger aftermarket CPU cooler covers at least 2 of your DIMM slots so having good memory that will fit there is a plus!

Besides just being low profile the heatspreaders on the modules are very bright and vibrant. As I said they come in blue or orange, which you can match with the rest of your components. The black PCB of the modules go perfectly with the heatspreaders and when installed this kit will definitely stand out. Also this kit is XMP ready so all you have to do is go into the BIOS and enable the XMP profile. This get the kit running at the advertised 11-11-11-30 timings at 1.6v."


While the timings are a little loose, this looks like a excellent budget friendly memory kit for consumers who need DDR3-2133 speeds.
