Corsair Vengeance Pro v.s Kingston HyperX Beast

[Ahmad Moheb]

Hi guys , I need the best RAM for my new build .... so can anyone tell me which is better for best gaming performance ?
a-Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB (2 X 4GB) DDR3 2133 CL9 V1.5 Dual Channel Memory Kit (Red)
b-Kingston HyperX Beast 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2400MHz CL11 1.65V
BTW , this is for a GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 with AMD FX-8320 .
Any other recommendations in my built will be appreciated .
Thanks and sorry for my bad English .

The 2133/9 will provide better overall performance, 2400/11 will generally run 2133 at CL 10 which is a bit slower

Thanks boss for your help .
another question , In my country there's a $30 difference between them , so does the corsair worth the difference ?!

 

[Tradesman1]

To me in general, No, but on the other hand if it fits in your budget without adversely affecting other components then Yes. I look to squeeze all I can, performance wise out of a budget

It has been mentioned on Gigabyte website the following
''Support for DDR3 2000(O.C.)/1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz memory modules (Note 2)''
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4642#sp
is that true ? that max MHz supported by this motherboard is 2000MHz only and the 2400 of the Kingston HyberX beast will be useless or what ????
sorry I'm noob at this .

You can often try running higher, or can lower freq and tighten timings, their are few AMD mobos that handle 2400 sticks well, (that's one of the reasons I went with the Crosshair Formula for my AMD build, I've long used fast DRAM and lots of it)

 

[Ahmad Moheb]

Is there any alternative rather than the two types mentioned above that can give equal high performance in gaming ?
My budget is $100 .....

 

[Tradesman1]

I'd look at the 2133 Snipers in CL9, had good luck with them on AMD mobos/rigs...A lot will also depend on the individual CPU and how strong the MC is, it will vary from 8320 to 8320

 

[Ahmad Moheb]

What is more better in my case ..... a single 8GB RAM or 2X4GB kit ?

 

[Tradesman1]

2x4GB runs in dual channel, and can provide up to about a 10% gain performance wise

The RJ X are great sticks, give them a try

 

[Ahmad Moheb]

Ok I will , thanks very much for your help .
