yall the second one with the c9 is better

2133 cl9.  One step up in speed is about the same as a setup in latency. They will cancel each other out. It's 1333, 1600,1866,2133,2400,2666,2800 and then 3000. (Yeah i know that the world record is 4ghz but you can't buy that.)

Are both at the same stock volts? Do you have the option of an 1866 MHz kit at CL9 and 1.5v? If so, you can likely push that kit to both the above settings- provided your motherboard and CPU play nice and you are ok pushing the volts higher.

[jathor]

both are 1.65v

 

there is a 2133 cl9 at 1.5v but i it's 35$ more. and at these prices it is getting quite expensive!

 

there is also a 2133 cl8 but i can only get it in the US and it'll come to also 30$ more with currence conversion.

I'd say just get the cheapest kit, memory latency doesn't make much of a difference anymore these days with imc.

You forgot 3200mhz

You forgot 3200mhz

Didn't know about that. Apparently there is also 3100mhz.

anything over 2400 is insanely expeez

ou can get some 2666mhz on sale for a decent price. It is quite rare though.
