Would this be good memory for the a10 5800k?

[RenzoGuzi]

Im planning to get an APU buildand I will be gaming on it. Would this memory be good enough?

Im also planning to oc the cpu and igpu and the memory. Can I do all that on the stock cooler? Thanks.

If you are happy with extremely low setting then so be it.

Keep in mind these benches are done under BEST CASENARIO. So that means that this is average FPS on a benchmark run, NOT in a 64 player map with 64 players firing grenades and tanks and choppers and hundreds of things going on at the same time.

But as I said, if you are happy, then so be it.

I never thought of that. Ill see what I can do with my budget.

Fill out that template that I posted and then I can help too.

Alright. Thanks man.

At a minimum, you want 1866MHz. Sometimes, 1866 is priced reasonably close to 2133MHz RAMs.

This is from Xbit, I believe.

From the testing I have done, in order to taken advantage of the higher graphics clock, you also need fast RAMs --- bumping the clock with lower speed RAMs can sometimes actually ding performance below that from a stock iGPU clock.

Were these benchmarks testen on stock cpu and gpu speeds? No overclocking?

Yup. That is my understanding.

If I recall, Anand tested with 1600MHz RAMs (bu I'm to lazy to check, or even look up the Xbit link for you )
