Alright so I am a heavy gamer and do some 3d rendering and photoshop. Question is what speed should I get. 1600,1866,2133,2400. Prices all are the same for the Ripjaw series, Also if i get a faster speed do I need a ram cooler?
The fastest your CPU can handle, don't get 2400 with a non K CPU. If the same price you can run them but best will probably be 1866 maybe 2133 and setup will need to be manual as 2400 sticks have XMP profiles for 2400
Even if it does not run at its rated speed it will run at slower speed and improved timings. Really does matter what board and CPU you are using to get fast ram to run on specs.
