Hi All

I ordered some 2400Mhz Vengeance Pro but they have now gone out of stock so looking at more options.

I have narrowed down to the above two, which one would be best, the Trident's are £15 more but I don't mind paying the extra for quality if it makes a difference.

Also would both be compatible with my board?\

By the compatibility list for your motherboard the gskill 2400c10d or the corsair cmy16gx3m isn't on the list. Here's the link to your compatibility list to go by so you know what is compatible/tested with that board, also verified to run with no problems. http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/Memory/mb_memory_ga-z97x-gaming-g1-wifi-bk.pdf. By the way that is an awesome processor, Its what i am running. Very fast I use only 43% cpu when playing battlefield 4.

Thanks,

on the QVL list the same g skills ram but 4 x 4gb model is listed, surely the 2 x 8gb should work then?

Would appreciate any advice.
