What ram is better? Why?

[jman0887]

Straight to the point, what ram is better? It will be used with a 4790k

Higher speed in Mhz = Faster so "better" RAM.

First two links don't work.

I wish I lived in America, the pricing of tech is so much better than anywhere else.

[xXButchXx]

I remember seeing in a RAM speed comparison that really anything 1600mhz or over didn't really make a big difference in performance compared to each other...

Its because it's made there - Some of it anyway

most of it isn't, lol.

There is also CAS latency...

That's false, the taxes are very low there on non exisiting.

[Kamina]

Find some 2133 mhz CAS 9 ram.

You seriously have no freaking idea of how ram works. Go watch Linus' tech quickie video on it and maybe you will learn something.

[BrandedUpontheGrave]

I saw 32 GBs worth of 2400MHz RAM about 240 bucks once... it was only a day till it went back up though.

 Your links aren't working but i just made a boot test with different ram speeds and i just saw your thread.

Windows 8.1 with adata sp900

 

Full boot time(from pressing the power button to logging in the desktop)

 

2400mhz CL10: 9.5 seconds

1600mhz CL9: 14 seconds

 

Get a 2400mhz Cl10 ram. It's only some bucks more expensive.

This is how it works. Faster is better.Don't pull the latency card here because if you didn't know,latency is directly affected by frequency. A 1600mhz CL7 kit has higher latency than the 2400mhz Cl10.

No that is not how it works. You obviously don't watch linus' videos or have read anything about ram.

I suggest you do some research before spreading untrue facts.

 

In case you were wondering lower, CL mean cas latency. latency

More programs benefit from low access times than higher frequencies. Just look at the benchmarks...

That was my next point :rolleyes:

Yah,i don't watch linus' videos. I am active in HIS forum just for the lols.............................. .-.

 

What exactly could i possibly mean by saying latency? CL= cas latency=latency.

CL (if you prefer) is directly affected by the ram's frequency! And linus' video about the ram is outdated.

DDR3-2400 CAS 9 7.5ns

DDR3-2400 CAS10 8.33ns

DDR3-2400 CAS11 9.17ns

 

DDR3-2133 CAS9 8.44ns

DDR3-2133 CAS10 9.38ns

DDR3-2133 CAS11 10.32ns

 

DDR3-1866 CAS8 8.6ns

DDR3-1866 CAS9 9.64ns

DDR3-1866 CAS10 10.71ns

 

DDR3-1600 CAS7 8.75ns

DDR3-1600 CAS8 10.0ns

DDR3-1600 CAS9 11.25ns

 

DDR3-1333 CAS7 10.5ns

DDR3-1333 CAS8 12.0ns

DDR3-1333 CAS9 13.5ns

I'm not the one misleading here and i'm definitely not the one who needs to do his research.

How the hell is it outdated? Ram hasn't changed in like 10 years... >.<

The idea ram would be high frequency low cas latency, but this is not possible because the higher you push the frequency the higher the CL gets.

 

Programs that use small files at a very rapid rate benefit from the lowest CL possible. This includes video editing, 3d rendering, virtual machines and other programs that access the ram very frequently.

Other programs such as some games which need large files from ram will benefit from a faster frequency.

 

A simpler way of thinking of this is CL=how long does it take to access the ram and MHz=how fast does it get the file. Large amounts of small files will benefit from low CL, and small amounts of big files will benefit from higher frequency.

Sorry about the links I'm on a mobile atm, but these are the products in the links.

[Skander1345]

I went for option 1 myself. 

 

You don't really need to think too much about ram, anything 1600 ddr3+ is okay.

 

Don't waste your money on useless marginal benefits.
