Hi! For my newest upgrade I need some ddr4 because ddr3 won't be compatible with my motherboard.

I noticed that the fury black from Kingston seems to have some food reviews.

Except that there are 3 kinds of 4gb ram sticks :

-2133 MHz CL14

-2400 MHz CL15

-2666 MHz CL15

Are there noticeable differences between these 3 ?

I read that high frequencies cause instabilities, is that right ?

Thanks

ram is ram. Get whichever goes with your color scheme and fits into your budget.

There is a performance difference between the 3 but I don't think you would call it noticeable, as for them being unstable, no. The MOBO will automatically scale down the frequency to what it supports, so the only way you can go wrong is by getting RAM that is too low of a frequency (which is hard to do).
