I guess the rule to disallow MFR-based 2666C11 was made on the basis that some resellers still have some Samsung-based kits in stock so there's no way for people in some regions to obtain the prior.

DDR3-2666 MFR based HyperX memory modules are not allowed as they are not commercially available products. In the case DDR3-2666 MFR based HyperX memory modules become commercially available during the course of the competition, they would still not be allowed to avoid any unfair advantage.
Doesn't say anything about Samsung-based sticks, so I guess those are allowed.

2666C11 is no easy spec for MFR. May be your HyperX fail it and you can get your money back from RMA :D

Not mad I cant use MFR, I was hoping it was samsung :) my CFR is better for mhz anyways I think.

Lol, I guess it is available.. How do we confirm if it's Samsung or mfr

 

Seems the old stock was Samsung, the new stock is MFR.

 

Only way to tell is the vertical sticker with say H08 for MFR and S16 for samsung.

You will most likely not find the Samsung based kit in stock anymore: they were release about a year ago.

 

All the 2666 C11 in stock now will very certainly be MFR.

 

The 2666 MFR kits should be available worldwide but because it launched so recently (Splave you really must have one of the first retail one) ocers from other region may not find them in stock before the end of the contest.

 

It's tough to try to keep it fair for everyone! :)
