Avexir vs Crucial Ballistix Sport vs Kingston HyperX Fury

As I mentioned in my previous topic, I have increased my budget to 4000 MYR (950 USD). So, now I have a choice of 3 different 8GB of DDR4 RAM. They are Avexir 8GB DDR4 @ 2400MHz with White LEDCrucial Ballistix Sport 8GB DDR4 @ 2400MHz and Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 @ 2133MHz. I'm thinking of going with the Avexir since it has white LEDs which will give a little glow to my chosen PC case (Picture below). However, I am concerned about the latency of my DIMMs. So, overall, which one should I go for and please state their Pros and Cons if any. Thanks! :)

forget the pros and cons, there's none.

 

just go with which one you like. latency doesn't matter.

"Sulit" (adj.) something that is worth it

I guess that'd be the Avexir for me since it has white LEDs to spice up my build. :)

I just ordered the Avexir Core red variant. It looks really good. The only downsides I can think of is that the LED lights can't be controlled which would have been a nice feature. Not complaining because they are extremely affordable. Also one thing that won't affect you but for anyone wanting the red set..my set appears somewhat pink and not a bright red. Not sure if all are like that or just mine.

The Kingston kit has a CAS latency of 13.1 nanoseconds, the other two have a CAS latency of 13.3 nanoseconds. That's a trivial difference that doesn't matter, and the higher bandwidth of those two kits would result in better performance. Not a huge difference, but definitely worth it when the prices are about the same.

My case is white with a black stripe running along it and my ZOTAC GTX 1060 Amp! Edition is silver so I'll just stick with the white variant. :)

How do you find out the latency of a RAM module?

Divide the CL number by the "MHz" and multiply by 2000.
