Trident Z

[smolkomartin1]

If i have a Z170 chipset (socket 1151) which is better? A 4x4gb of tridnet z or a 2x8 gb of trident z? A Z170 chipset starts looking as a X99 and trident z 4x4 gb is cheaper (only 10 $) but for 3200 mhz not 3000 mhz. So which is better?

 

Thanks.

i would prefer the 2x8 sticks myself just for future upgradability if needed

But how soon will you need 32 gb of ram?

depends what you do... if youre gaming... never, if you do content creation then the more ram the better

I do mostly gaming, I convert videos sometimes and sometimes really sometimes turn on photoshop.

then go with the 4x4... i think it looks better anyway

1151 only supports up to dual channel so having 4 dimms instead of 2 makes absolutely no difference, mhz also make absolutely no difference unless your running onboard graphics.

depends even then...

 

Gaming, 32GB = 16-24GB RAMDISK

 

Tired of seeing textures "popping" in?

Buy a RAMDISK today and you shall never experience it again!
