ADATA vs. G.Skill RAM

[Hyp0xia]

Put yourselves in my shoes. You're in the market from some DDR4 and torn between two kits with the same clock speed. The first is a G.Skill kit and the second is an ADATA kit with a lower CAS latency. Would you choose the G.Skill out of brand loyalty or for some other reason or would you choose the less-popular ADATA XPG Z1 for the better CAS latency? This is not a poll because I'd like you to explain your reasoning.

RAM is RAM. Whichever performs better for the price or fits the budget, I get.

I'd go for G Skill simply because of higher reliability, In my experience better customer service, stuff like that.

I'd go for either one really.  I love both brands.

It really doesn't matter.  Jayztwocents did a video on DDR4 and the CAS latency didn't matter too much.  Both companies would be a great choice though.

I would go with whatever one provides the best Frequency to Cas Latency. If it's ADATA as you say then I would go ADATA. If both kits are at the same frequencies but one has a lower Cas Latency go with that one.

what does that have todo with me?

IDK where I was going with that. Sorry.

The cheaper one or the one that fits in your build better

I´ve had both brands and never issues with them so far, With DDR4 this time I went with Corsair Vengeance LPX. It doesn´t really matter if you have a C15 or C16. Jay from JayZ Two Cents tested and compared RAM speeds. DDR3 vs. DDR4. The result is not really a surprise but I didn´t think that the difference is that huge.

I´d go with what ever fits better to your built. Cause all big brands like Corsair, Adata or G.Skill are very good.
