Ripjaws or Hyper x fury or vengeance??

[Jay Kay]

Hello everybody !! I want to upgrade my ram but i'm not quite sure which ram i should take...I want a dual channel kit 2x4gb ram sticks!! So which one should i go for?

1)RAM G.SKILL F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL 8GB (2X4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHZ RIPJAWSX DUAL CHANNEL KIT
2)RAM KINGSTON HX316C10FWK2/8 8GB (2X4GB) DDR3 1600MHZ HYPERX FURY WHITE SERIES DUAL KIT
3)RAM CORSAIR CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B VENGEANCE 8GB (2X4GB) PC3-12800 DUAL CHANNEL KIT BLUE

My other components are : cpu AMD FX 6100 BLACK EDITION 3.3 ghz
gpu GEFORCE GTX 960
mobo 960GM-GS3 FX
PSU 500 W

So, they are very similar. Same voltages and all 1600MHZ.
Only difference is that the Hyperx has CAS 10, not 9 so I'd say between the G.SKILL and CORSAIR just go for the cheapest or nicest looking.

Finally an easy question, G.Skill of course

Why not get some 1866 or perhaps even some 2133? 1866 in CL9 at 1.5v is not much more and easy to find.

I don't think that my mobo will support something higher than 1600/1800

Your absolutely right, sorry I did not check your board first, well it looks like 1600 it is then. I always suggest G.Skill never the less....

I'd go the GSkill RJs, a good alternate wiould be their Sniper series, and yes stick at 1600, many 6100 CPUs can't even handle 1866

The point is simple. In case your motherboard, or your CPU does not support high frequencies, your RAM will just throttles (reduces its frequency) until it matches the highest frequency supported, but if your max frequency supported on the CPU is lower than the motherboard, the RAM DIMMs run at highest one supported by CPU, and vice versa.Feel free to get a higher frequency one. I recommend getting G.Skill ones, even a budget RAM - 8GB AEGIS. My CPU only supports 1333 MHz RAM, so it is running at 1333 MHz, which is why I kept the latency down to 7.
