Which is better performance wise, Kingston Beast or Corsair Vengeance?

 

It doesn't really matter. Both companies make great RAM. Just look at speed and latency and choose the cheapest one that matches your needs.

G.Skill :P

 

It doesn't matter, just look at speed (go 2133), like said above. I'm pretty sure Vengeance is a bit higher profile if it matters (probably not).

RAM is pretty standardised, RAM with equal specs will perform equally. Both Kingston and Corsair are premium brands, so I wouldn't worry about quality. It only comes down to price and looks. I personally prefere the looks of the beast soooooo yeah, and also Kingston stuff is also cheaper.

Corsair RAM has much higher RMA and DOA rates but then again still not catastrophically high...

i've allways had kingston for ram, never had issues so.... i say kingston , but corsair does look better but comes at a higher price tag. So it's just about what are you willing to spend for better looks.

also ram is ram and blah blah blah... i mean if you have preference brand field, then choose within that. that's what i do
