Ram Purchase Advice

[Phinix]

I need to replace the memory currently in my system.

I'm running on a P67 - Asus maximus 4 extreme with a 2600K.

 

Now I know the board will only support up to 2133Mhz oc'd, and that 1600Mhz is the default supported speed.

My current set is 2x4GB 1600.

 

So I have got my choice down to two:

 

1) Kingston HyperX Savage 16GB - DDR3-1600 CL9-9-9 @1.5V

2) Kingston HyperX Savage 16GB - DDR3-2400 CL11-13-14 @1.65V // DDR3-2133 CL11-13-13 @1.6V

 

They are both very close in price.

 

Which should I go for, any suggestions?

I would go with the 1600Mhz kit. YOu really don't have need for more Ram speed.

But the CAS latency is quite significant between the 2 of them.

You will notice no difference in real world applications between either of those frequencies. Just stick with 1600mhz.

Definitely the 1600Mhz kit, especially if you want to game, CAS 9 is ideal.

I knew that ram speeds don't always yield real world differences, just wasn't sure how much of a difference.

I noticed there is also a 1866Mhz kit but seems pointless.

I'll go ahead and order the 1600Mhz kit.

 

Thanks everyone, greatly appreciated.

Yes like said stick with 1600Mhz kit which is better one.
