Get the cheaper kit, no difference in performance nor durability. Chips wont be very different in capability either since they are the same bin of frequency and timings at the end of the day

Didn't really know there would be that much between 2 RAM manufacturers - looking at frequencies, timings, etc. I'm looking at 2 3200Mhz cas 16 kits from G Skill and Kingston respectively:
 

HyperX: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07WF9M2PK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1

 

G-Skill: https://www.ebuyer.com/772405-g-skill-trident-z-rgb-16gb-kit-ddr4-3200mhz-ram-f4-3200c16d-16gtzr

 

G-Skill I can get a little bit cheaper to be just a few £ more than the hyperx. Comparing like for likes they seem identical (voltage, frequency and cas). Is this just a matter of what's cheaper/what I like the look of more or is one better than the other? I can't find any information about what chips each of these use but guess would be Hynix.

 

Cheers.

If you're going to OC I'd get the G.Skill, if not then the Kingston.
Fury RAM does some sort of self OCing wizardry according to their marketing and Trident uses a more common die, so there's more to reference for timings.

Don't buy the Trident Z RGB. The lighting software is terrible, conflicts with everything.
 

You need to perform a special voodoo dance to get the led lighting to work.

 

Mine are now permanently dead, probably corrupted SPD. They'll go for RMA if possible then I'll shove them on the bay.
