Recommended RAM

[samhfoley]

I am rebuilding my HTPC. SO far I have an ASUS P8P67 Deluxe motherboard, an Intel i3 2100 CPU, an OCZ vertex 3 60GB SSD, and a Silverstone cooling fan SST-NT07-1156. I am now looking for memory to wrap up the rebuild, but most of the recommended memory from the P8P67 QVL are unavailable in Japan. Perhaps the list is dated? Anyhow, I was thinking of going with Crucial
CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9 [DDR3 PC3-15000 4GB x 2]
CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8 [DDR3 PC3-12800 4GB x 2]

other suggestions? Thanks

Go with CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8 [DDR3 PC3-12800 4GB x 2]. This CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB 1600Mhz module is great. It overclocks well & latency is low. Here's a link:

For a build based around Sandy Bride the general guidelines I recommend are either 1333MHz or 1600MHz, timing 9-9-9-24, and minimum 1.5V. You can get by with 1.6 or 1.65 as well.

CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 [DDR3 PC3-12800 4GB x 2 looks better and is cheaper by a dollar.

or

CMX8GX3M2A1333C9 [DDR3 PC3-10600 4GB x 2

or

G.Skill F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL (DDR3 PC3-Disc 12800 4GB x 2)

Go with the Ripjaw - that looks like your best option so far.
