G.Skill Kit 16GB DDR4 3000MHz Ripjaws V Red (2 x 8GB) 159,90 €
G.Skill Kit 16GB DDR4 2800MHz Ripjaws V Red (2 x 8GB) 149,00 €

So guys, i want to buy 2x8gb of ddr4, and my question is:
If i overclock them, i will have more high MHz in the 3200MHz stock, with them i can go to 3800MHz but if i try OC on 3000MHz stock, i only can get like 3500MHz.

the mb will be Asus Maximus VIII Ranger.
It's for gaming and sometimes design and video.

sorry about my english.

It will depend on the set of DRAM you get, as well as the MC of your individual CPU, i.e. on same mobo with 2 different 4770Ks I've seen wher I can OC a single set of DRAM much better with the on CPU than the otherI generally look to good DRAM like GSkill as being able to OC at least 1 step higher (though sometimes more and improve overall performance - i.e. with my 2x8GB 3000 RJ V set I can OC to 3200 with but going up 1 in CL and see an improvement - if I go to 3400, it takes too much voltage (more than I want to use) though with another set of same can run 3400 at a voltage I'm happy with. Just never know till you try with your set of DRAM and CPU

Well, I'll be honest here it doesn't matter, the differences between the highest frecuency RAM and frecuency RAM(on DDR3) will get you between 0.2-0.5FPS difference in gaming, I recall benchmarks on this many times, DDR4 is no exception, because as frecuency goes higher, latency goes higher as well.

So basically it's better to get a cheaper RAM kit and invest that money into something else, it's pretty much thowing away your money

i7 6700k will be my CPU

The 3000 set looks like a good bet (and I know is a great set) only $10 more than the 2800 and $20 less than the next step up and will sit nice twith the 6700K (should even at stock). Also contrary to the above, YES DRAM can make a difference in gaming - it really depends on the game, people (again) depending on the game have seen performance increases of 10% or better in some games by going up a step or two in freq. Some games it's little to nothing others it can show good size jumps. One also needs to look not at today and yesterday, but ahead, developers are utilizing DRAM more and more in games so the higher data rates will be there for you down the road where others will be looking to replace and upgrade their slower DRAM. The manufacturers see the benefit of higher data rates, just look at DDR4, where you still (amazes me) see people talking about how 1600 DRAM is all you need (and in fact Skylake CPUs can run with 1600 sticks, DDR4 starts out with 2133 sticks (even the the DDR4 specs (from JEDEC drop to 1866)

Looks good, tell us how the build goes
