Ram Selection from list

[satchmo2002]

I am getting the "Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W" processor and the "MSI 790FX-GD70 http://www.msicomputer.com/index.ph...ncat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=1740#menu" mobo which supports a variety of ram specs.

I would like everyone to give me their opinion on what memory they would pick from the list below if cost was not an issue. TY.

CORSAIR DOMINATOR-GT 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145272

Kingston HyperX 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1800 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104135

Patriot Viper II Sector 5 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1800 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220433

G.SKILL Perfect Storm 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 2133 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231288

The kingston ram should work fine. Just check rma requirements on kingston's website. Any brand of ram can fail, especially when overclocking.

If the rig was mine, i get the Corsair.

Or someone of this:

From the link my vote goes for the Crucial, i have 4GB DDR2 and are really good in performance and OC stability.

That's why i'm confused when it comes to ram, b/c if money was not an issue in your choice why wouldn't you go with the fastest ram?

-------------------------

Is a basic point in electronics and systems. Not always the more expensive or more "fast" is the best, you also need think in all the system, and the DDR3 1333 are the best option price/performance or this article said this

[satchmo2002]

I'm not concerned with price/performance, just raw performance that i could get.

Ok, but how i said up, not always the more fast or more expensive is the best.

 

[satchmo2002]

Yes I know this is the case that's why I posted the original question, one of my concerns is if I was to get the 2133 could i even get it to work at 2133 speeds

 

[saint19]

In the mobo that you post, yes, you can run at 2133. BUT need set the all the specifications manually in the BIOS. The CL, the voltage....

 

[satchmo2002]

How much strain would that put on the CPU b/c I would have to set the FSB to ~1066mhz right?

 

[saint19]

1066MHz or more for get the 2133.

 

[satchmo2002]

Will the processor be stable at that, or is it no prob for the processor?

----------------

Maybe yes, maybe not. You only can know this if buying the RAM, and install this on your system.
