Help me decide between 2 rams

Arnab Banerjee

Hi Guys My Build is As Follows:

NB already have https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N206SAORUS-8GC#kf

so I didn't mention it

I am Unable to Decide Which Ram Should I Take Between:

G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB (8GBx2) DDR4 4266MHz & G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32GB (16GBx2) DDR4 3600MHz RGB

any suggestion? what to take and why to take? thanks...

I'm not sure wether the CPU is able to handle the high ram-speeds stably. So I'd rather take the 32GB because you probably won't notice the difference in daily use anyway. Except if you are using highly ram-speed dependet applications.

Hard one! I'd opt for the 32gb at 3600MHz. I'm not sure if you would really notice a big difference between 3600 and 4266 MHz. But if you multitask a lot, and don't close your Chrome tabs, 32gb will be welcome ;)

Current desktop: (Optiplex 9020 MT)

CPU: i7-4790 | GPU: Gigabyte GTX970 ITX | PSU: EVGA BT 450W Bronze | Ram: 2x8gb DDR3 1600MHz

The build: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1158091-optiplex-9020-mt-project-build-i7-4790-gtx-970

Future plans:

  • i7-4790k
  • Z97 motherboard (really want a ASUS ROG Maximus VII Formula Watch Dogs Z97 ATX motherboard)
  • + 2x8gb ram (for a total of 32gb)
  • Better gpu

I will run image processing application like openCV in it

3600MHz will be more than enough. I doubt you'd see much of any improvement going to 4266 honestly.

Also, I'd suggest going for a better quality power supply. Something like a Corsair RMx or be quiet! Straight Power will work great, and you also won't need 750W. You could go for 550W without any problems, or 650W if you feel you want more headroom.

running 4266MHz memory is stupid anyway, you should only buy that with the intention to lower the frequency a bit and tighten the timings a lot manually.
