Can decide which one to go with I'm looking for a 1600 mhz ddr3 for an Asus p6t (maybe delux1 or 2). I've got it down on the corsair side side to TR3X6G1600C8D and Can decide on the OCZ side if I should go with the Platinum or reaper series and on the platinum the got 2 versions (http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/ddr3/platinum_series)
a OCZ3P1600LV6GK and a OCZ3P1600LVA6GK. Can someone please tell me which of these 3 are best?


P.S. Needless to say looking for 6 gigs.


Thanks,
Sebastian

Only question I have is the price the OCZ3P1600LVA6GK cost about $365 and the OCZ3P1600LV6GK about $98. Do u really think its worth it? Can the 920 really take that kind of OCing?

P.S. The corsairs TR3X6G1600C8D corsair (163.50) are in the middle.

Taking cost into mind do u really thing "Lvas" area really worth it?

Just get the cheapest one. Triple channel memory will give you more than enough bandwidth before overcoocking anyway.

I heard that unless u get the i7 Extreme Edition 965 and instead go with a 920 u cant really OC the memory and its a waste of money to go more the 1333 mhz, is that correct?

P.S. Which of the mem speeds is best(most practical/bang for the buck) for the 920 and an asus p6t mobo? Looks to me like its 1600mhz (though u really cant Oc it that much anyways)

That mem is too expensive for me its almost how much I plan to spend on my GPU. My budget for me is around 150 for 6 gigs on an asus p6t and a I7 920

Both are top notch companies. The best in the business. It looks like between the 2 your are looking at the OCZ has better timings. The dominator and reaper are my two personal favorite models. I am running the DDR2 version of these and they are great. If you have the room this ram will give you some OC head room.

Then you shouldn't have included it in your options. :)

Go with the other OCZ as I said before.
