G-skill Ripjaws X vs Corsair vengance Pro

[toben67]

I can save $10 or get 2133 RAM for the same price so my question is when does it high speed RAM matter and what would look better on a maximus vii hero and h440.

Also are corsair products "overpriced" or the price it under there name such as G-skill ripjaws x 2133 MHz at cas 9 for $71 or Corsair vengeance Pro cas 9 1600 mhz $71. There power supplies corsair compared to EVGA's EVGA G2 is far more superior and the RM is priced the same. Along with there SSD, Samsung or Crucial outperform for a cheaper price.

I would go with the Gskill. Prices fluctuate and some may look overpriced but in many cases it is the other item that is a great deal.

Both companies make high quality RAM. In this case since one is 2133 you should buy that since both are CL9.

I lean towards GSkill as they seem to have stronger sticks overall with more OC headroom.

What mobo and CPU will you be running, the CPU in particular will be the deciding factor in what you can run.

For a buck more there's 2400/10 (RJ Z)

The Trident X 2400/10 are only $75 (my favorite for Haswell)

The design for the trident is ok I like the z in red more and the x so I was wondering for overclocking gaming watching videos and streams would CAS 9 2133 be better than CAS 10 2400. I don't like the look if the tridents and I only like the Z if they were in red.

There will be no noticeable difference doing those tasks what ever ram speed you select.

The 2400/10 are a little stronger but will really have to work the rig to tell the difference between them and the 2133/9
