Looking for a memory kit for my build

Samoyedog · Nov 21, 2014

Here's my build:

I am unsure what memory kit I should use but I am thinking about getting 16 GB of Kingston HyperX Predator. Also if you have any suggestions for other parts please do tell. Thanks a lot.

I'd go 2x8GB (16GB) of GSkill Tridents in prob 1866/2133....if lots of multi-tasking or memory intensive apps, maybe even 2400

I saw somewhere however that G.Skill memory kits are really unstable, is that true?

Tradesman1 · Nov 21, 2014

Been using them almost exclusively for about 6 years now, and no problems, I go through prob 4 or more sets a month between new builds/upgrades and testing. What you see a lot of is people that don't know how to set DRAM up, especially on AMD, that and people that take the bad advice to mix sets of DRAM

Thanks a lot. By the way is Trident X worth getting or should I just stick with Trident

Tradesman1 · Nov 22, 2014

Trident X is the main line out there, there are some of the early Tridents from a few years back, the the Red Trident X is what most all of us simply refer to as Tridents, they have the tall removable fin and as said are red, the early model is primarily a black heatsink, I'm running these on my Z97 and Z87 (32GB sets 2800 and 2666) and may put them on my amd rig in 2400/10, the current Snipers on the AMD are CL 11

Okay thanks a lot. Do you have any suggestions for my build? I am doubtful about my cooling kit as NZXT Kraken X61 is supposedly better.

How high an OC are you looking to? If looking at the H100, I'd consider the CM Nepton

Samoyedog · Nov 22, 2014

Probably 4.6 Ghz. Thanks for your input.

Tradesman1 · Nov 22, 2014

A hyper 212 EVO would do fine up to and at 4.6 and a number of other air coolers, need at least a h100 to beat the air coolers, I'd go the Nepton

Samoyedog · Nov 22, 2014

I have another question, do you need ram cooling and stuff, I'm really confused about this cooling thing since most commercial coolers seem to be only for cpus

Samoyedog · Nov 22, 2014

And somehow I can't pick your thing as solution
