hey guys my gskill ares ram just crapped out on me so im in the market for some new ram. i have a i5-3570k OC at 4.3ghz on a asus p8z77-v pro mobo. so far here are my options:

they only thing that worries me about the first on is that its 1.65v but what you guys think and yes i know you dont see much improvement on the higher freq ram but it is in my price range so why not.
 
Solution
1.65 is perfectly safe, my 3570K is still running (sold it) just fine with a full load of 32GB at 1.65 and has since I built it, prior to that had a 2500K (also still running that had 32GB od 2133 1.65 DRAM. Most every build I've done (about 50 a year) have run the higher end DRAM calling for 1.65, and all are fine 😉
I honestly doubt you could go wrong with any of these and people always care too much about ram- most of the time unless you're doing some really high end overclocking there is no difference at all, so I would reccomend looking for reviews to see how stable they all are- from what I see they all seem very good quality and have lifetime warranty.

On another note, would it be possible if you could send me your broken sticks, i'm looking for some ddr3 to put in my ram slots while I paint them to match my watercooling :)
 
The 2400 Trident X sticks are great ones (I ran the 32GB set of 2400 Tri's in my 3570K rig. Keep in mind you will prob need an OC of the CPU to run at full 2400, but the additional bandwidth is really nice to have if you push your rig at all 😉 Otherwise I'd go the 1600 Tri's, they OC quite well and you'd prob be able to run them at 1866 or even 2133
 
thanks trades i was a little worried about the high voltage on the 2400 sticks because i keep hearing to run at 1.5v. and plus i know i can get the full 2400 out of the tridents because im overclocking right now.
