Corsair Value Select vs LPX vs Dominator

[ChaosJ]

Just wanted to know if there's any performance difference between theses 3 ram sticks

 

1. Corsair Value Select 4GB 2400MHz (comes in a pack of 1 stick. But I shall get 2)

2. Corsair Vengence Lpx 2x 4GB kit @ 2400MHz

3. Corsair dominator platinum 2x 4GB @2400MHz

 

Price wise there is a little saving with the value select. Question is whether performance is different and also, are heatsinks on ram critical or is it just something we as gamers buy into?

Considering they all run at the same speed, there probably won't be a noticeable performance difference between them. Also, having a good heatsink on your ram is nice during intensive workloads, but it's not nearly as important as having a heatsink on a CPU or GPU.

RAM is RAM, the cheapest you can get at the speed you want is usually the best.

 

I prefer Dom Plats actually, out of all the RAM I've seen they are by far the most beautiful and aesthetically pleasing.

 

For you, I'd recommend the Value Select, especially since it's cheaper. Heatspreaders on memory isn't really critical, they don't do much other than look freaking great(depending on what kind you get)

If the difference is sub $20 I would get the dom plats and OC them.

Yes, coffee lake is compatible with  pretty much everything, it has the strongest memory controller on the consumer market afaik.

Mixing kits can create the potential for compatibility issues, so I would recommend not purchasing two separate Value Select kits.  We test the modules that come packaged together and guarantee their compatibility.  If pricing is a big concern, the LPX kit does have a lower price point, but still features high quality and performance IC's.
