Posted January 14, 2015 I'd say go for the 2x8 for future upgradeability.

Posted January 14, 2015 I would go with the Corsair... no not because I am a fanboy but because it's a dual kit, thus dual channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 14, 2015 stick to dual channels kits Z97 do not support quad channels kit and some mobos may not boot with that many DIMMS Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible. Quote whom you're replying to, and set option to follow your topics. Or Else we can't see your reply.

Posted January 14, 2015 You have a Z97 mainboard, that means you will be best off with dual channel RAM and you can not profit from a quad channel setup, you'd need with your DDR3 X79. And unless you need the amount of RAM like 32GB I'd go rather with a 16GB dual channel setup.

So it's not 4x4Gb, but 4x8GB? They will perform the same, so either go with the cheaper set, or with the better looking one. If it's 4x8GB, the price will be a fair bit more, so unless you need that much RAM, go with the Corsair kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 14, 2015 thanks for all replies . but i'm comparing between the memory voltage vs number of sticks all mobo will support 1.65v or 1.5v RAMs just that you should not mix 1.5 with 1.65 DIMMS Budget?
