Was thinking to get
http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/memory/#m=17&Z=8192002
but wasnt sure if they are good quality and what mhz should i pick

That link just shows all the ram available for the mobo.

Get 2 x 4gb, 1866 cl9, 1.5V

PS - the 212 evo comes with thermal paste already on it.

Tradesman1 · Aug 13, 2014

I'd look at the Snipers from GSkill 1n 1866/9 (or even 2133/9 w/ your CPU)

Tony Donev · Aug 13, 2014

i7Baby :

I thought it would link to G.skill ram
Isn't the arctic silver thermal paste better ? also
why 1866 why not 2133 or 2400

Tony Donev · Aug 13, 2014

Tradesman1 :

This one http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f317000cl9d8gbsr also isn't higher mhz better or ?

i7Baby · Aug 13, 2014

Its 1.65V and cl?. If cl11 or below then OK. The price is OK.

Tony Donev · Aug 13, 2014

i7Baby :

This one is CL9 and 1.65V which i gues is not a problem for my CPU?

Tradesman1 · Aug 13, 2014

That would be perfectly fine, I like to keep to 1.5 w/ 1600 and 1866 (unless high performance I.e. CL7 or 8), and 1.6 - 1.65 is fine for 2133 and up

Tony Donev · Aug 13, 2014

Tradesman1 :

Should i stick with my corsair 2x4 1.5v 1600/9 or switch to the g.skill sniper also do you have any suggestion on ram with higher performance

Tradesman1 · Aug 13, 2014

If you want higher performance, I'd go to the Tridents (my favorites) have them in most of rigs (a few in sig). The 4690K should be able to handle up through 2800 and depending on your individual CPU, even higher

i7Baby · Aug 13, 2014

The 1866 is best price/performance now. If you have the budget, get faster.

Tony Donev · Aug 14, 2014

Tradesman1 :

How are these for Tridents

i7Baby · Aug 14, 2014

That's pretty good cas 10 for 2400MHz

Tony Donev · Aug 14, 2014

i7Baby :

Do you know whats the difference between Trident and Tridenx in terms of performance

Tony Donev · Aug 14, 2014

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f32400c10d8gtd

Which one do you think is better

Tradesman1 · Aug 14, 2014

Both are great, the Tridents were the original model that were 'replaced' by the Trident X line back around May of 2012. The X line uses a newer line of memory chips and may be the better bet

Tony Donev · Aug 14, 2014

Tradesman1 :

Went with the Tridentx 2x4GB 2400mhz
