Does the colour of the RAM colour matter and what do numbers like this mean in RAM 11-11-11-27

And why is the 2133 RAM cheaper that the 1866 ram

no, not at all. look on the manufactures website about your specific model, or see if there is a sticker on your ram that says the timings.

The timing numbers 11-11-11-30 : LOWER is better

Frequency higher is better , but if the timings are larger to run at a higher frequency then the gains are offset

Make sure you use RAM rated for 1.5 volts or less with modern processors

So are these two good RAM's

Danbuscus25 · Apr 28, 2014

well, the timings are 11-11-11-30, which is ok, but do you know the frequency?

No but what about 11-11-11-27?

sorry, didnt see you posted the links in your OP. they are both good, but the corsair ram is better and cheaper

Danbuscus25 :

They are both corsair lol but are there any better ones?

Danbuscus25 · Apr 29, 2014

sorry, this one is the better on: http://www.ebuyer.com/370075-corsair-vengeance-8gb-2133mhz-ddr3-red-heatspreader-cmz8gx3m2a2133c11r and if you want better ram, you have to pay more. but your motherboard may not support super fast ram, what motherboard do you have?

Danbuscus25 :

I don't have one yet but I am considering getting the Asus Z87-A, Gigabyte Z87X-D3H OR THE Z87X-

And i am scared that this RAM is more value for money than performance

Danbuscus25 · Apr 30, 2014

it will run just fine, and usually the speed of ram doesnt affect performance.
