Wondering what kind of ram I should get that will go well with this mobo?

teeties · Jul 31, 2014

Have this mobo in my build. I am getting 16 gb of ram but I do not know which brand to go for as far as compatibility and power.

Mobo: ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

You can use ram with frecuencies from 1333Mhz to 3300Mhz on that motherboard.
I recommend going for modules that work with 1.5v or lower, any that requires more for high frequencies are old models.
1600Mhz~1866Mhz is ok and not very expensive. For those frequencies you want CAS latency (CL) of 8~9, not higher.
