should i get faster ram for gaming? 4770 +z87 sabertooth mobo

victortsoi · May 24, 2015

so i have the G.SKILL Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C7D-16GTX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231628.

I have the 4770 CPU with z87 sabertooth. Should I get faster RAM, or is my non OC CPU bottlenecking before games anyway, with this setup?

faster ram will have no effect on your gaming performance.

Just OC your Tridents, they are capable of 1866 and prob 2133

Tried overclocking and must have done something wrong, I couldnt figure out how to accesss the voltage settings on the z87

1866 8-8-8-24 and DRAM Voltage to 1.6

Tradesman1 :

by the way, i finally figured it out, but you should know, 8-8-8-24 caused a boot error, had to set to 8-9-9-24. But thanks...ill see how much faster this set up is for me...

Try it for awhile, then might even be able to squeeze 2133 with it
