hello, got my new PC set soon but i got a one question regarding RAM, cant chose between

kingston 16GB 2133MHz DDR4 Non-ECC CL15 DIMM DR x8 Value Ram 2x8GB

vs Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB DDR4, 2133MHz, 1.2V, CL14, 2x8GB

vs Kingston HyperX FURY Black 16GB - PC-21300 - DIMM DDR4, 2666MHz, 1,2V, CL15, 4x4GB

my question is Value Ram vs Hyper X FURY, for which onei should go for? cause less trouble?
big difference vs 2133 - 2400 - 2666? and 2x8 and 4x4? that makes any difference? money doesn't make any problem, i just wanna good and stable RAM but i think i wont OC them anyway, maybe i dont know - just wanna rly good and stable RAM for lifetime without any trouble, that Value Ram looks for me very cheap, cheap parts to cut price but then review's says they are way more stable that Huper X? is that right?

processor : i7 6700k
GPU : MSI gtx 980
mb : MSI Z170A PC MATE
PSU : 600W

thanks for help
 

I saw a video/review where faster ram did help so i would go for this. It was with an intel i3 6100 though where this could become a bottleneck and the faster ram did help to reduce the bottleneck.It will probably help with the faster cpu too i imagine.

Do try to get 2x8gb to have less strain on the memory controller if you can.


And as a tip,don´t answer your own thread,people might think someone is giving answers and they won´t bother to look further. 😉 Just update the latest post if no one has answered yet.
 
what about Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 16GB - PC4-19200 - DIMM DDR4, 2400MHz, 1.2V, CL16, 2x8GB? are they got? because what i seen hyper X is without ECC and that Crucial Ballistix have ECC, same price, nice looking RAM with (i think) good radiators

what do u think?

and also going for Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - 120 mm

got 2 question about it : should i use thermal paste inculded in set of 212 EVO or buy another like artic silver 5?

and what's is the best way to remove old thermal paste?

i can use that one

http://www.komplett.ie/arctic-silver-acn-koelpasta-verw...

and some cloth/paper/coffe filter (which is best for that?) and should i use that procut on CPU and clean paste after few sec or put that product on cloth and remove a paste? :)
 
Checked the Crucial as well and they are also non ecc so no point in getting it for that,for what it's worth anyway in a consumer pc.I would go for the faster set of the two if the same price.

Looked at Komplett and the Kingston are faster with a lower cas latency so would be my choice.

For cleaning paste take some soft toilet paper or a soft clean rag like a torn t-shirt and clean of the old paste,after that clean remains with the alcohol till completely clean,dry off the remaining alcohol if necessary and put on the new paste.

Just put a nice drop,pea size,in the middle of the cpu or a "grain of rice" and let the cooler spread.With the last option would i put the "grain of rice" opposite to the way the heatpipes run.So as example if the heatpipes run right to left put the "grain of rice" top to bottom.

You could just use what paste comes with the cooler,for other paste would i recommend Arctic MX-4.

 
i am confused now, so i should go for ram with ECC which means "NON ECC" or without ECC where on webisite says ECC - X means there is no ECC? and what is the main reason to buy with ECC? stability?
 
ok, so this one would be good? Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB - PC4-19200 - DIMM? what you can say about Crucial Ballistix? good brand? or i should go for kingston hyper X FURY?

they are 2x8 DDR 4, 2400 MHZ and in specification says ECC - X which is NON i guess

or

Kingston 16GB (2x8GB) HyperX Impact 2400MHz DDR4 CL14 SODIMM NON-ECC

Yeah go for non ecc ram,it's really meant for servers.

The last are a good choice for the price.Otherwise from the first post,

vs Kingston HyperX FURY Black 16GB - PC-21300 - DIMM DDR4, 2666MHz, 1,2V, CL15, 4x4GB
but only if you think that 16gb will be enough,since a 4x4gb set,and don't want to upgrade which has it's own caveats.

Yes so-dimms are for laptops.
 
just buy the cheapest set of non-ECC DDR4 memory, install it, close the case, and stop worrying about it. Adata, Kingston, Patriot, Crucial, GSkill, whatever. buy two big sticks instead of four small sticks. 2x8 is better for future upgrades than 4x4. memory speed won't matter THAT much in your situation anyways.
 
Don't buy value ram if you plan to OC in the future. I would just grab any compatible HyperX FURY kit 2x8GB (less modules = less headaches). They also come with lifetime warranty.
