Best Ram for ASUS RAMPAGE IV EXTREME?

[Raynoszs]

Howdy guys, just wondering if the experts here could suggest the best ram for this setup.

CPU: Intel i7 3960X
Motherboard: Asus Rampage IV extreme
GPU: GTX690
OS: Wimdows 7 64bit

I'm wanting to get G.Skill.

Currently have in mind

http://pbtech.co.nz/index.php?z=p&p=MEMGSK0432&name=G.SKILL-Ripjaws-Z-16GB-(4x4GB)-DDR3-1866MHz-(PC3-1

Thanks in advance.

That one will do great. Stick with that one.

Better on on your site would be . But it would be hardly worth the $$$ : )


G.SKILL TridentX 8GB(2x4GB)DDR3 2400MHz (PC3 19200) 240-Pin Ultra Performance DDR3 SDRAM Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C10D-8GTX

Those are a good set, you won't go wrong with them. If you're adventurous, you could grab 3 or 4 sets of these:

(I don't know if they ship to New Zealand) and then bin them yourself, and get them dialed in and running faster than the G.Skill set will. The set I linked are what many memory "manufacturers" bin and sell after attaching heat spreaders.

True true, that's actually what I was going to get, but the sales rep
Said its for the i7 3770 ivy bridge, lol I gave him a blank look and said its RAM, faster ram etc
Then he said its specifically tested for that and may not work too well on your system..
So I wasn't so sure, that one should be fine yes?
2400mhz trident X

Thanks bud.

Check these.


RAM speed comparison - We're looking at a less than 2% difference from the fastest to the slowest.

 

[Raynoszs]

True true, some good info, do you know why they say that certain RAMs can only be used with certain processors? I don't understand this, I thought RAM would work anywhere, specially the fastest RAM
Should work with no issues on the rampage iv.
The top speed ram from Gskill is only qualifies for ivy bridge :S

 

[nikorr]

The voltage, mostly.

Than its marketing : )

The Sandy Bridge too, but Intel says that u should use the 1333MHz : ))

The Sandy Bridge-E can use it too.

Lol. True, I guess I'll just go with the 1866mhz.

Thanks bud.
