What Memory should I Get For My ASUS Rampage IV Extreme?

[Fox Seven]

Ok so i am about to get the ASUS Rampage IV Extreme Motherboard now I need some help in choosing what brand and what "speed"?

I see this at neweggdotcom but I am confused about all those numbers.
"8×240pin DDR3 2400(O.C.)/2133(O.C.)/1866/1600/1333/1066"

I will be doing some over clocking to both my asus gtx680 and my i7-3930k.

only 8 gigs for me at this point is enough =)

Any suggestions?

After doing some research on different brands what is Latency some say "9" others "10" and so on.

Latency is related to the delays in transmitting data between the CPU and SDRAM. Low latency means low clock cycles, which is better.

Thanks for your answer, one last thing what about RipJaw? Are they better than the Kingston HyperX Beast?

I have the very same motherboard, video card and processor and I went with 16gb of Corsair Dominator 1866mhz, by enabling the XMP Profile I have the ram running at 1866 mhz. It defaults to 1600mhz when first installed and all you have to do is enable the XMP Profile to get the ram running at the rated 1866 mhz. I also have the CPU overclocked to 4.8ghz and the 680 overclocked to 1200mhz.
I would get the Corsair Platinum 1866mhz and I would have bought that same ram but it didn't come out till after I had started my build. Personally I would go with this kit if you can afford it.

If not then you will have too go with a dual channel 8gb kit.

Nope! In no way RipJaw is better than Kingston.

As for the case go with this COOLER MASTER HAF 922 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119197

For the case I have the Cooler Master HAF-X RC 944 and with the Asus Rampage IV Extreme being an E-ATX form factor board you have to make sure you get a case that will fit it.

I can't get any results from google as a HAF-X RC 944 i se only 942. I have decided to go with one of these two.

HAf 932 advance
Rosewill:BLACKHAWK-ULTRA
Rosewill:Rosewill THOR V2


Thanks, What's the bigger: "ATX or "E-ATX"?

 

[inzone]

E-ATX. Sorry about the typo I meant to put 942.

The 932 is also a full tower and is very close to the 942 but has no window.

You can´t get wrong with either HAF 922 or 932, as they both are very good ones.
