Which is the better RAM?

If your mobo supports 2133 memory and you have enough money ($15), then go for Ripjaws, I would. If you google memory timings, you will find a lot subjects about timings, even here on Tom. 1-3% increase is not much. For example, if you edit video and with Corsair your editing ends in 5min, and with Ripjaws ends in 4:54. Does this 6 sec really means something??

Do you know what the bracket represents exactly ? They both start with 9 is that where the CAS 9 listing comes from but then 24 and 11 11 does it get slower?

Thanks !

Switching to the G.Skill Ram will only cost me £10 extra ($15), I am tempted but according to Linus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWgzA2C61z4 the effects are not really noticeable, still that video is from 2013 things might have changed.

But more recent 2014 forum post :
It all depends on what you do (and how you do it), for strictly gaming and email a little browsing, etc then no you won't really see much difference if going to say 2133 (maybe 1-3 FPS in the gaming, however if you really USE the computer, multi-task, video. imaging, VMs, CAD, large number of open windows and use memory centric apps or large data sets, then yes, faster DRAM is well worth it, and Haswell does like faster DRAM more so than previous gens like IB and SB....you also see gains if using the CPUs on board GPU rather than a discrete GPU - especially with AMDs APUs
Click to expand...

I do use CAD and video edit, so still not sure what to go for, using haswell i7 4770k.

One more thing if you unlock XMP to get your RAM from 1333hz to advertised 2133 or 2400 for example, will the latency change from the one advertised or is the latency advertised the one when the RAM is already under XMP?
