Z77 Extreme4

Hello,

Im about to buy a ASRock Z77 Extreme4 motherboard.
Can anyone recommend any good memory for it?

Im looking for a 16GB setup. (2*8GB) 1600mhz.
Would be great if it has CL8/Cl9.

I like corsair. Tom's like G skill or somehing like that. They have a memory review from a while ago. It should be easy to find. The one thing you want to keep in mind is make sure that it is low profile. That way your options are open for whatever cooling solution you want to employ in the future.

You have a good point with Low Profile.

I can only find this with Low Profile
Corsair Vengeance Low Profile DDR3 PC12800/1600MHz CL10 2x8GB (CML16GX3M2A1600C10)

But its CL10 :/

You're thinking 4GB density with 4GB CAS, CAS 10 have the least problems with 8GB/stick density.. Ares kits (high frequency/density) are bad, the VCCIO/VCCSA requirement is too high.

Otherwise Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 (9-9-9-24) Model 997069 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226337
