mire9000 · Feb 1, 2015

Hello again awesome people.... i have the question which bother me alot lately,
i got myself new mobo and cpu , all the rest components are from old build and i would like to change the ram memory but i dont really know to pick the right one.
only thing i know is that it must be HyperX kingstone tehnology

The specs at this moment are

M5A97 R2.0 EVO
FX8350 @ 4.2ghz non clocked
Nvidia GTX650 1gb OC
2x2gb kingston ram at 1066 or 1333mhz
550W LC Power , SuperSilent LC6550 V2.2B
HDD WD Blue Caviar 500gb 7200
SSD HyperX 3k 240gb

I will need some HyperX ram with 2x4gb for now ... and in closer future i will get one more kit of those. So reccomend me some ram i more likely use my PC to watch movies , tv shows and making music , but over time i play some game then and there.... they need to be gaming ones i would like to play GTA 5 when it comes out.
Thanks all in advice i know that u guys will rock it with answers , love ya all

Buy cheapest ddr3 ram 2x4gb kit from 1066 to 2133 mhz and it will work.

Can i be 100% sure that will any of ram i pick work with my mobo??? i was expecting more precise answer

mire9000 :

You can mix brands, but it has to be with same specs. And it will work

When picking ram you want to use the highest speed the motherboard can support without overclocking.

http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/M5A97_R20/specifications/

Shows that 1866 speed is the fastest without overclocking.

It can support 2166 with overclocking but this support is not always guaranteed.

mantukis5000 :

hmmm will it afect my PC performance if i put new 2x4gb rams i pick and my old ones 2x2gb ???? will they slow down one each other

and for what this 1.5v and 1.65v mean ????

derekullo · Feb 1, 2015

If you want the most precise answer only use ram listed on the "Qualified Vendor's List".

1.65 volts is for overclocked memory so that the memory is stable.

You could look at these,
http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/compare/corsair-memory-cml8gx3m2a1866c9b%2Ccorsair-memory-cmz8gx3m2a1866c9b%2Cgskill-memory-f314900cl8d8gbxm%2Cgskill-memory-f31866c9d8gab/
the Gskill ripjaws X 1866mhz@cas8 are a really good choice.
The tall corsair vengeance might get in the way of a bigger cpu cooler so keep that in mind.
You could also loo at the 1600mhz ones form these.

Vic 40 :

i got CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO as cooling system and first ram slot is under a fan it have space for like two slim sticks one on each other...

and there is a one minor problem like market dosent have wide Corsair choice here in Serbia..... so if u could look for some HyperX kingstone rams because our market is full with them ... literaly it have like 100 different hyperx rams

this is our site for like all pc shops in serbia so u can search every ram we have here in search box on top right corner , look there please

mire9000 :

Which site? Link to the ram page.

Look at 1866 with latency's<9 (@cas8 would be really nice) the same for 1600mhz ram.With four sticks in the future are you probably not going to get over 1866 and maybe even just 1600mhz so no need to go for higher speeds.

Like these,

with leds (ornage/blue) if you ,like that,but are more expensive,

and a 4x4 set for better compatibility at once,

Vic 40 :

okey ... but i got one more question ... what about those Fury , Beast , Savage ... what all that mean ..... the price isnt that much important i just want to get something which will be OK for my performanse with FX8350 and that mobo ... so if u can explain as shorter u can what all that mean.

Vic 40 · Feb 1, 2015

mire9000 :

Are just names of ram,speed,timings and voltage are more important.The crucial for instance is more expensive,but is faster with a latency (timing) of cas9 at 1.5V.For gaming does the speed difference of 1600->1866mhz not matter that much so is 1600 really good enough.

mire9000 · Feb 1, 2015

well i will go with the kinstone option u give me thanks dude for helping me to pick the right one

Vic 40 · Feb 1, 2015

That first Kingston is a good choice.

And you're welcome.
