Ram kit for my kids new pc

[quinato]

Its built around msi z97m gaming, msi gtx 770, Core i5-4570, 250 gb 840 evo. 2 Tb hitachi.

I want a 16gb kit,

The cheapest in my part of the world is

Crucial DDR3 BallistiX Tactical 16GB
16GB kit (8GBx2),1600MHz, 1.5V, CL8-8-8-24
at $177
Next step
Kingston HyperX FURY White Series - DDR3 - 16 GB : 2 x 8 GB - DIMM 240-pin - 1866 MHz / PC3-14900 - CL10 - 1.5...

$ 206

The is almost no price diff. between 2133mhz and 2400mhz

and a Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 2400MHz 16GB 2x8GB CL11 XMP 1,65V

costs $223, Kingston kits are $5 cheaper.

Can you recommend other 16 gb 2400mhz kits.

best regards

2133MHZ but you don't need 16GB, just stick with 8GB with a lower CAS Latency

Hi quinato
where are you from ?

 

[KryssNova]

Your Motherboard support memory all the way to 3300 MHZ, still there is no point to go that high anyway.
My guess just get an RAM with good frequencies around 2133/2400 which like you typed, cost same as the lesser ones.
Then look at latency and preferably get one with lesser latency like 10 or 9, and good voltage.

If you want it to be more stable, then get lower voltage ones like 1.5, but that's just hypothetically.
Real world situation for PC, it doesn't really seem to be any more stable than 1.65 v kits, so I wouldn't pay attention to voltage to your RAM, if it isn't above 1.6 v.

G.Skill, Crucial, Corsair, Kingston, Muskhin, A-Data are all respectable brands.
and otherwise the RAM kits doesn't seems to perform better than others, if you have same specs.

The one you posted Kingston and Corsair, are kind of same.
Since you basically could manually OC Kingston to same speeds as Corsair at same Voltage.
If you are in that kind of thing.
While Corsair have already pre-set mode for OC called XMP, and it OC's to 2400 MHZ at 1.65 v. by itself, if you turn on that mode.

Denmark.

I'm thinking 16 GB, because I want a ramdisk, and try to reduce writes to the SSD.

Maybe a 2133mhz kit that runs at 1.5v, is a safer bet.

Best stable is to get 2x8 GB kits (all are 16GB), it's less stress on Memory Controller.
Since you said you wanted rather 1.5v here you go:

http://www.proshop.dk/RAM/Corsair-Vengeance-Pro-DDR3-2133-DC-16GB-2415238.html - 2133MHZ, CL11, 1.5v
http://www.proshop.dk/RAM/Corsair-Vengeance-Pro-DDR3-2133-DC-16GB-2415239.html - 2133MHZ, CL11, 1.5v
http://www.proshop.dk/RAM/Corsair-Vengeance-Pro-DDR3-2400-DC-16GB-2424121.html - 2400MHZ, CL11, 1.65v

The Corsairs 2400MHZ were actually the cheapest, even though they had higher frequencies.
Also I just used this website as it was easier to search with it, you can search from site like (dustinhome.dk or cdon.dk) for cheaper prices, or just use some DK price search engine, like (pricerunner.dk).
To be honest the 2400MHZ are the same as the lower 2133MHZ ones, just OC'ed to 2400MHZ.,

Such a good news it is. Kids should be given a PC after a certain age. One is liable to get along with the various aspects of having a good alternative over the computer.

I already posted faster speeds and timings and lower voltage at lower prices.
also Elenadavid already said he wanted faster timings.
So I think the case is already solved here.

 

[mickypheonix]

cas 11 is faster than cas 9 at 2133 mhz is it ? , i dont think so

Sry, the link was broken for me.
This time it worked, you're right, but well
Well the one I posted is still quite cheaper, being practically same, even more so, since on-board graphics won't be useful here, therefore lower latency won't bring any noticeable performance boost in real world performance.
Also lower voltage RAM (which I posted) is better handled by most of the motherboards, and it should be less prone to failure, hence it is better in this situation and it is also an important factor here, cause Elenadavid wants to do RAMDisk.

 

[mickypheonix]

1600 mhz for the kids should be fine

 

[KryssNova]

1600 mhz for the kids should be fine

Normally yes, I would think so too.
But the prices contradict the worth of the RAM.
I couldn't find any 1600MHZ that was cheaper than 2133MHZ ones I posted.
Which was weird, maybe I just didn't search good enough.
But otherwise, since the prices were same, no reason to go for the slower ones, if the faster are just as expensive.
