Which memory should i keep for a 3930k ?

alexnode · May 16, 2014

I have a Kingston 16 GB 4x4gb set, 1600mhz 1.65v 9-9-9-27 command rate 1 and a
Corsair Vengeance 16 GB 4x4gb set 1600mhz 1.5v 9-9-9-24 command rate 2
Which one should I keep and which one should I sell?
I am on a rampage gene iv with 3930k at 4.3ghz 24/7 offset overclocking with 1.33v on load one graphic card gtx 680. Both are tested for years and work great i am not sure which one is faster. Should i go for the low voltage ? the CR1 ?
I am not big fan of Corsair neither Kingston so the brand doesn't really makes the difference.
I prefer to keep the lower profile kingston to be honest but i never liked the 1.65v

technically the 1t is beter... im surpriseed it needs 1.65v for that though.

either way in the real world... there will be no noticeable difference either way outside of mem benchmarks. so i'd prbly go with the 1.5v setup

keep the corsair for sure. I dont understand why people get high end systems and then get low profile RAM. Its very backwards imo.
RAM speeds are a mixture of timings and Mhz. You want as low timings as possible and high Mhz. In this case between the two the Vengeance is the better modules. Plus its not LP which reduces heat and the voltage is lower, again reducing heat.
However in the grand scheme of things you wont notice any difference between the two.

@ Dark Antz I prefer low profile - low voltage because it is easier to reach inside tight m-atx boards and cases with push pull radiators and gigantic GPUs. I am not a big fan of hedgehogs too : )
