[austin@]

Cant seem to find the answer anywhere so maybe you guys can help

Does this ram support x79 socket and quad channel MBO?

the first one has lower latency and better timings but i want to make sure its going to work with my x79 chip-set

You would be better off with quad channel kit that is optimized.

 

[nikorr]

BTW, why only 16GB?

 

[austin@]

im only using it for gaming i cant see me using more than 16gb of ram, why that one over the one i picked? my cpu can only support 1600 and the timmings and latency is way higher

 

[nikorr]

U can use XMP profile or OC manually.

 

[austin@]

cpu is 3930K

 

[nikorr]

What is most important, that it is @ 1.5V

 

[austin@]

that ram is a little out of my price range since i need 8 sticks

 

[austin@]

so your suggesting i get something optimized for quad channel ? stay away from "duel channel"?

 

[nikorr]

With more sticks u are increasing the chance of bad RAM stick.

It works fine in most cases. But there is a reason for it.

 

[nikorr]

Get this one.

i guess what i don't understand if u compare that one to

this has lower timings and lower latency so wouldn't it make it faster? or am i missing something
