Hey!
I'm searching for a 8GB DDR4 Kit for my Skylake build.

I've got 80€ left for the RAM.

What about the Kingston Fury X 2666MHz CL15-17-17? (71€)

Is it better than the kit with 2400MHz CL15-15-15? (65€)

I also found G.Skill Ripjaws V clocked at 2800MHz CL15-15-15 for 75€ (best deal, isn't it?)

Or should I take something cheaper like Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 2400MHz Cl16-16-16 for about 60€

Which Kit would you recommend?

Thanks in advance!  :)

I would take the 2400MHz Fury X kit, because I think they look the best and because it's the cheapest one.

Performance wise you won't notice anything.

Thanks for the replies!

Has the RAM clock any impact on the OCability?

In theory no. It is possible it may make a slight difference, but it is not in any way likely.

I am running the ballistic sport 32 GB kit atm because I love the way it looks, and it was very cost effective.
