Ram Choosing Help?

[EazYKevin]

 

Hi

I'm about to have to make new PC, and sits slightly in a dilemma about which ram I should choose the PC will be built in orange theme

i have these once in mind Corsair Dominator DDR4 3400MHz 16GB Orange

or

G.Skill TridentZ Series in orange, but did not think I can find G.Skills TridenZ ram in orange on any of the Danish pages? since im from denmark

 

and a little question about the TridentZ, i see here at the newegg page says it x99 chipset does that mean i only can use them on a x99 chipset ?

what do you guys think i should choose, and if you know any other ram in orange accent plzz let me know.

 

best from here

Whatever you like the look of better. Ram is ram

but what about the chipset thing on TridentZ ?

[LabRat]

ddr4 isd ddr4. will work on any board that supports ddr4 and that particular voltage........... probably without exception. might not reach 3200 but it will work.

ddr4 is ddr4. will work on any board that supports ddr4 and that particular voltage........... probably without exception. might not reach 3200 but it will work.

and the reason I mention voltage is the ddr3L that does not play nice on boards that used prior ddr3.............. with exceptions. ( properly )

If you want to save money, go for the most generic thing possible. If you want looks, go for the cheapest one that has the right color. As of now, RAM speed does not matter much.

[EazYKevin]

what would you recommend for a high end gaming pc, 16gb/32/64 ?

 

becuase i kinda like the G.Skill best

 

and again does does it mean anything thats it says x99 chipset on newegg ?

 

becuase my plan was to build the pc on a z270 motherboard

But where do i find the ram

[LabRat]

i don't know where you live but newegg/bestbuy, etc..........

 

and if you're overly worried about buying the "right" ram, look at the QLV list at the board manufacturers site and see what they've already tested on the board.
