which ram should i buy

[vijit]

hi, 

I have an intel i7 4770k and asus maximus vi hero

 

I am using an old DDR3 1333mhz ram (2 x 2gb)

 

Now I want to buy high speed ram like 2133 or 2400

 

but asus gave me vey few options in the vendor compatibility list

and 90% are not available in my area(India) and the one which are available are very costly

 

i know I can not use every DDR3 ram in my mothermoard (ram timing)

 

i want best ram for my motherboard.

 

Can i use any ram of a particular timing?

 

if anyone has the same motherboard, which ram you are using?

 

which is the best 2133 and 2400 ram for my motherboard?

 

i want 8 gb and these are available 

for 2133

Gskill Ares F3-2133C10D-8GAB RAM

1600 mhz is the  best...u should go for gskill Ripjaws X...if u are using that cpu...1600mhz will be just fine with cl 9...u can get it on flipkart as u live in India...

[Paralectic]

G Skill Ares RAM is pretty good.

[Cubit481]

Ya that ^ too but u may face problem in finding that ram in india i think... ...go for ripjaws X

[PassionFruit]

Again, buy 1600 RAM.

[flibberdipper]

Unless you have an APU, that RAM speed is useless. The sweet spot for everything is about 1866MHz.

[vijit]

@PassionFruit thank you very much for your reply but as I play battlefield and high speed ram helps in giving few more frames. i know i won't get much performance compared to the money it will cost but i just want high speed ram.

[vijit]

I know you guys are telling the right thing but I am willing to spend little more money for 2133 or 2400. So please if you could tell me which one from the above list of ram should I buy?

[Cubit481]

@PassionFruit thank you very much for your reply but as I play battlefield and high speed ram helps in giving few more frames. i know i won't get much performance compared to the money it will cost but i just want high speed ram.

U are wrong about that...it doesnlt work like that..increasing speed also increase latency...and first of all u are using a cpu not an apu so what u said is already untrue mate... ...1600 mhz will give u best performance in gaming...

[Cubit481]

I know you guys are telling the right thing but I am willing to spend little more money for 2133 or 2400. So please if you could tell me which one from the above list of ram should I buy?

U dont need that much..but still if u want...go for Trident X...or a corsair dominator platinum....

[Cubit481]

I know you guys are telling the right thing but I am willing to spend little more money for 2133 or 2400. So please if you could tell me which one from the above list of ram should I buy?

and also let me tell u it will make no difference...the performance will be same as that u will get from 1600mhz cl9...

[vijit]

@Cubit481 i know high speed ram causes latency but @Linus himself said in the wan show that in battlefield 4 high speed ram helps in giving few more frames. 

Gskill Trident X F3-2400C10D-8GTX RAM or Gskill TridentX F3-2400C9D-8GTXD RAM

[vijit]

@Cubit481 this is an anadtech post http://www.anandtech.com/show/7364/memory-scaling-on-haswell

it says there is 20% performance difference between 1333mhz and 2400mhz 

 

with all respect. I am not proving you wrong, just take these questions as my curiosity.

i understand mate... ... the point is they sure give better performance if u use integrated gpu and also helps in OCing more but the performance is not stable for every game or app...they will surely increase the physics and overall compute performance but for gaming they will not be doing that much as we expect from them...i saw WAN show and the battlefield performance is weird to mee too... ...but if u really have extra bucks and want to spent then go for 2133...may be it will make difference for the games coming in future...

which one to buy 

 

thank you  

I would advise you choose your GSkill RAM from this list.....http://www.gskill.com/en/configurator?manu=29&chip=1307&model=1407 and then check if your list has it, this way you will know for sure that the kit is compatible with your motherboard so having to deal with an RMA would be unlikely. 

[PrAwKsee]

Go for the highest clock speeds with the lowest cas latency at the cheapest price. I personally use Ripjaws in my own rig but ram is ram. If all else fails just go with the cheapest 1600/1866 @ CL9 you can find.

thanks guys for all the help
