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?
 
Solution
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
