I recently bought a single stick of 8GB HyperX FURY DDR3 1866, CL10, 1.5V via a combo deal through Newegg. But it seems that in nearly all of Tom's System Builds he uses the GSkill (Ripjaws) memory, DDR3 2133 at 9,11,10,28 timings.

Question is: Is there really a noticeable, real world difference between CL10 and CL9 in terms of gaming? Am I better off just buying another HyperX FURY 8GB stick to match the one I have, or should I get the 2x4GB GSkill kit that Tom likes and save the HyperX stick for another build?

Thanks!

The Hyper X will be fine for gaming, few games really use DRAM for much other than a data conduit, if your rig was more app oriented and you were more interested in multi-tasking and use DRAM intensive apps like video, imaging, VMs, CAD that type of thing or large data sets, the tighter timings would be better for you, as far as in general builds for Haswell, I've founfd the Tridents to be strongest, on the AMD rigs I lean to Snipers and GSkill X
