What is the best RAM for Haswell?

Ruski Husky · Sep 8, 2013

Hello! I have been looking all over the forums for this specific answer, but have not found it yet. I am going to be building a new Haswell 4770k i7 gaming system, using an MSI mPower Max, Corsair Power Supply, MSI 770 GTX Lightning, and a CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i Water Cooler. I am planning to get 16 GB of DDR3 RAM using only 2 RAM slots so I can upgrade later. Any suggestions on what kind of RAM I should use? Thanks.

Any DDR3 memory will work, here's a list of ones you can go with:

Vengence Pro:

G.SKILL Sniper Series

G.SKILL Ripjaws X :

Any memory at 1600mhz, 1866mhz, 2133mhz, 2400mhz memory with low timings will work fine from Corsair or G.Skill.

From which store will you be purchasing? I'll take a look into what they offer and see if I can suggest you something.

Oh by the way, do you prefer Corsair or G. Skill?

Kelthar · Sep 8, 2013

Both are great. I for example took Corsair just because it looked better on my case (since it's blue and black themed so I got 2 black sticks and 2 blue sticks).

Pick whichever you prefer.

G.Skill is a little better in the memory department, but I go for Corsair usually because I do Corsair/Asus builds.
