Last response: in Motherboards

Hi,

I've got an Asus P6T Deluxe V2 board and I'm looking at getting a new kit of RAM. However, I don't know much about RAM so I was wondering: what's a good choice of RAM for a system that's going to be used strictly for high-end gaming? I'm looking for the best performance I can get; cost is not an issue.

I was looking at this one: http://www.amazon.com/G-Skill-PC3-12800-1600MHz-CL9-9-9...

Any suggestions?

Not really, the QVL of the mobo is only a guide to know that the mobo support that RAM speed.

If the RAM isn't listened in that list, doesn't mean that don't work with the mobo, just means that the mobo wasn't tested with that specific reference.

Well the price of the Corsair is $399.99, very expensive. Is CL6 and comes with RAM cooler, but you probably won't see any difference if install that cooler or not.

If you want a RAM CL6, you can go with the Mushkin Redline, are more cheap and you get the same performance that with the Corsair.

I'm more concerned about it working with my motherboard. The Corsair website has a memory compatibility tool, and it's recommending me http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... as the best "guaranteed" compatible memory for my mobo. :??: 

The problem is I have to order through 3rd parties since I don't live in the US. So even though money is not a problem, I've to make absolutely sure whatever I buy will work with my mobo because returning the memory is almost impossible.

No, the QVL isn't really important.

Like I say up, is like a guide for the costumers about what RAM can buy. But isn't necessary that the costumer buy the RAM that appears on the list.

The Mushkin Redline are a very good option for your.
