HyperX Fury vs. HX Beast vs. HX Savage

[TheNopeman]

I recently purchased ARK: Survival Evolved and have been experiencing high memory usage (99%) while hosting a non dedicated server and having a few essential programs open. I currently have 8Gb of RAM and I am looking into purchasing 16.

My old RAM runs at 1333mhz and I am looking into putting it into a separate htpc. So I would be buying a new set of 2x8Gb most likely.

After searching I discovered that RAM prices have dropped a lot and I was wondering the difference between the HyperX, Fury, Savage and Beast. The fury is 1866mhz and costs £60, while the savage and beast are both 2400mhz and both ~£75.

Is the extra MHz worth the extra £15? Are there any other benefits between the types of RAM?

Thanks in advance.

I believe Savage has a better CAS (I think it's 9) where the others are CAS 10. Not a huge difference, but 9 and under are sort of "goals". Go with the lower CAS, especially if its 2400mhz compared to 1866 CAS10.

The Fury are PnP (they set themselves up for you) though at the cost of a higher CL, slightly slower, the Beast is an older model, being replaced by the Savage (their newer high performance sticks (and very good, used a set of the 32GB 2400 sticks in my article:
