Just dropped $170 on some low profile Corsair 2x8GB and I am pretty butthurt about it.

Which?

I gave away some Ballistix and Corsair low profiles kits to someone here last here, I hated them, the sticks wouldn't OC for shtt and timings took a lot of fckking with to even tighten the slightest.

Did you purchase low profile for a HTPC build?

None the less, here is a little education for us
all. Remember this is not applicable to every application or game. You will see greater benefits from tighter timings and higher frequency mostly in MMO/Large Scale Map games.

Yeah, and with RAM prices being distorted by a general shortage, there's only like a $15 difference between the cheapest 8GB 1600 kit and a decent 2133 kit.
