Which ram should i take or would these be fine?

[ThatAfricanDude]

ok so a lot of people say there isnt really a best ram, you should just go for the cheapest, but i can grab patriot viper 3 16gb at my local computer store for cheaper than what it is online, how is this ram compared to Kingston hyperX fury, and corsair vengeance pro, and gskill ripjaws?

If the timers are the same, along with the speed and you see the quality is as good as the other brands then go for the cheaper. Most probably you buy the brand and the cooler in other brands.

You want to look at speed which will be something around 1600MHz and latency which will look like 9-10-12-18. The higher the MHz the better and the lower the latency the better. I would look out more latency though.

The most stable speed is 1600mhz. After that you get a very low performance boost and a lot of instability as many people have reported.

It is 1600mhz, the specs are identical as all the ram ive listed, so should i just go with the cheapest?

Yeah go for it. The differences are minuscule in most cases so it really shouldn't make a difference unless you can perceive milliseconds.

I mostly dont care because 16gb is such overkill, im just asking because its cheapest

 

[CreationP]

I think you have all the infos you need from me and MT6Anime to make a decision. There really aren't any more "hidden" options. After that is the brand and the cooler looks. Nothing else.

If it's a good buy, go for it, it may not have OC headroom of other brands, and might be a hair slower than others, which won't matter a whole lot with 16GB.

 

[ThatAfricanDude]

True, that's exactly what i meant, and it can apparently OC to 2100mhz or something
