Any Thoughts on this Ram for new build

[James Davis]

Found these on sale. I wanted to get Hyperfuryx but read that because it does not support XMP it could cause issues.

What motherboard and CPU are you going to use? HyperX Fury uses PnP to overclock, but it's pretty widely compatible with modern mobos.

These are currently on sale for $135, are 2400 MHz vs 2133, and have lower CAS, and are outstanding - I just ordered my second set of 16GB. Use discount code "EMCANKP24" :

I will be using 4790k and an MSI Z97 Gaming 5.

Then I would definitely recommend the Trident X 2400/10's.

+1 Have been using the Tridents a ton in my and client builds for over a couple years now. Best I've found on Haswell

Hey thanks for the replies. I really love the specs on the Trident. I read in a previous article that perhaps GSkill only really work well with Asus boards because of some deal they have. I guess I want to be sure that the Trident 2400 will work as advertised with MSI Z97 Gaming 5. Thansk again.

I've used Tris on most Asus mobos, and many Rock, GB and MSI mobos, all worked fine
