decent memory for older ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 mainboard

Eberhart · Dec 2, 2016

One of my ram modules just died and so I need a new pair. So far I found this one to look alright "
G.Skill DIMM 16 GB DDR3-1600". Can anyone recommend 8 gig modules (16 gig total) for under 150 $ for the ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3?

What speed/data rate do you want? If fairly basic would look at the GSkill Ripjaws X or Sniper lines of DRAM in 1600/9

I often run virtual machines and it should be fast enough for gaming, so more on the fast side.

With a K model CPU - I'd look to about 2133 max on your mobo

Tradesman1 :

I got an i5 2500K, but mobo specs say it supports 2133 only with overclocking the CPU, which I don't want to do.
