Above are benchmark results I got using AIDA64. I want sheer gaming performace though I know it will have little to no effect but hey!

1866 is easier to run on most mobos. I would think.

It depends, If both are at the same price, they both look the same and the motherboard supports 2133Mhz i would go for the 2133Mhz since it has a higher clockrate.

I have the memory, it's 8GB (2x4GB) of Kingston HyperX blu. I want to know which overclock one would chose from the results I obtained. I would lean towards 1886MHz @ 9-10-9-28-1T as the read speed is higher.

load XMP profile 1 and call it a day...it won't change anything not even one FPS mate.

clock rate means nothing if you have to loosen the timings to get it, it cancels it out. You need a good balance between clock speed and timings to actually get more performance(APU excluded)

whats your cpu?

It looks better when talking about it to the gamers who only look at clockrates, I agree on that it doesnt make much of a difference though.

 2133 mhz is best and you can opt for it if your mobo supports upto 2133mhz.  The reason is first Cl ( CAS LATENCY) is usually the amount of time which the ram takes to complete a task given. 

 

For eg:-

 

Consider this , A 1600mhz DDr3 ram with CL9 does the work in  9/1600 + 0.0056 secs. Whereas a 2400mhz ram with CL11 does the work in 11/2400 =0.0045 secs. 

 

I hope now you've understood which one to choose..

If it's worth it to you, the 2133mhz would be an excellent choice, but the performance impact is almost unnoticeable. Otherwise go with 1866mhz.
