[Tomoki]

Hi guys can ny1 tell me which shud i choose between the above two and if Ripjaws 4 then is the 2666 better or 3200 for gaming.

There is about 1-2 FPS advantage with the 3200mhz.

Theres not much performance per $ in high end RAM.

but is there any difference due to the series from 4 to 5. thinking abt going with the 5 series as it looks cool.

Go with what fits your budget and what is aesthetically pleasing to you. G.Skill is a very good brand in my experiences, so either series will be fine.

I'm not familiar with the differences in the two series however.

thanks. but will the ram overclock itself to high speed or shud i go for 3200.

You could overclock the ram. You will probably be able to reach 3200mhz. you can do it manually or automatically. Most modern BIOS's will be able to automatically overclock your machine, but sometimes it's not the most stable overclock.

If you must have 3200mhz then you are better off buying the kit that is intended to run at those speeds.

k. thanks. bt if the difference is mostly 2 fps then money matters. 2666 5series it is...

The advantage is more in the speed at which you can move BULK data to and from the RAM.

Typically most modern games will cache all the data from your HDD on the ram only once and keep the data on the RAM until you close the game. While playing, your RAM is not really under much strain, since all the data was loaded in once you started the game.

So all you are really doing is filling up your RAM, not so much saturating the bandwidth of the memory.


Hope this made any kind of sense to you. lol.

yup it made. bt if budget is flexible then will go for the 3200mhz for speed.
