What Ram to choose?

Wojciech_1 · Jun 18, 2016

So i'm looking at Ram to upgrade my PC
16Gb, 1600 MHz, Ddr3 memory
I thought of choosing either the Corsair Vengeance (CL9), Vengeance Pro (CL9) or HyperX Fury (CL10) .
Is there any other good RAM and which should I choose

First it's better to check and see if the ram is supported by the motherboard and is compatible with it.
any way i think the Corsair Vengeance (CL9) is a better option for more memory with a 20$ difference.
and of course your motherboard and CPU should be powerful enough to handle the frequency and capacity of the RAM you choosing.

What mobo and CPU? Are you planning to add DRAM (not a good approach as no guarantee new will mix and play with old) or simply looking for a 16GB set?

The i3 4170 support up to 32 GB of 1333/1600 DDR3 ram according to this:

and the Memories you mentioned (part numbers : CMY8GX3M2A1600C9 and CML16GX3M2A1600C9 and HX316C10F/8) are not supported by the motherboard according to this: (list of supported memories by your motherboard)

I'd go the Fury in 1600 2x8GB, which should be fine. The memory QVL linked above is but a small sampling of the DRAM available that is compatible

At the top it says...
Memory modules listed below are for reference only. Due to massive memory models on the market, we can only verify some of them.

Of course, it's not like if they weren't on the list they are not compatible at all , i mean the exact ram you chosen is not on the list , however you can see other part numbers with exact same specs with those rams. it's not a problem just make sure that the brand and other rams like the one you chosen are there,to make sure they are compatible.
