[SOLVED] Which memory to get?

[Daravolo]

Hi,
I need change my memory, but I dunno which.

my spec:
asus maximus ix hero
intel i7-7700k
gtx1080 asus rog o-8g
m.2 2280 WD Green 240gb for boot

I'm thinking about a 2x8gb or 2x16gb maybe trident or ripjaw, but i dunno

thank you in advance
(sorry for my poor english)

Very few games will need 32gb. Most of the time, 16gb is enough.
If you do video editing with a lot of different videos/images, 32gb may come in handy.

Also, frequency doesn't really matter for Intel cpu's. Either 2133 or 2400mhz is just fine. Just get the lowerst CL latency if you can.

and about 3000mhz+ change anything? and about manufaturer? good components and maybe a proper cool system for memory? trident vs ripjaw vs hyperX vs corsair?

here is a nice choice from g-skill choose speed you want and amount of memory https://www.gskill.com/configurator...524725352&chipset=1532077171&model=1532077754

🙁 i have a krakenx62 with a "RAM Clearace: 35mm" - trident is 44mm and ripjaw 42mm
have some memory with good components like the trident Z with 35mm or less height?
