What ram to get?

So currently I have 2 x 4gb of ram in my computer and I wanted to upgrade to 16gb. I was originally going to get 2 more 4gb sticks since my motherboard has 4 slots, but after looking back into my computer my CPU Fan which I had upgraded a little while back is over sized so I can only fit two slots of RAM. So, I was wondering if anyone knew what type of RAM i should get. I'm looking for 2x8gb DDR3. 

 

My MB: 970 Gaming Pro Carbon.

Patriot Vipers or Mushkin RedLine Ridgebacks at 933mhz or faster would be decent memory on DDR3.

Those are Viper III sticks. A little newer in make, but the timings are too loose. 

 

Something like this - 9-10-9-27-36 would be timings at 1866mhz frequency to look for.

Do they come as 2x8gb rather than 2x4gb?

You can look around for what you need, those are only suggestions.

 

Look for memory that is 1866mhz and 9-10-9-27 timings and you'll have a decent kit.
