Need advice on RAM

[be_pedersen]

Hi all. I recently got a rampage black edition mobo and would like some advice on RAM for it.

I'll start off with my current specs
ASUS Rampage Black Edition
Intel I7 4820K overclocked to 4.5GhZ
EVGA GTX 770 4GB Overclocked edition
Corsair H100i water cooler with 2 corsair SP120 fans
Cooler Master Storm Sniper Case
Corsair HX1000 PSU

I would like 1866-2400mhz ram, Kinda looking at the 2133mhz g.skill ripjawsZ 16gb (4x4GB) set

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!


Thanks!

Don't use the 4820k. If you buy an LGA2011, it is worthless to get the 4-core CPUs. Get a 4930k. The Ripjaws Z is good.

Strangest thing i've ever heard...care to explain your rationalé behind this statement?

The i7-4770k outbenchmarks the i7-4820k, and is just as OCable. The RIVBE has the X79 platform, and is around here 500USD. An expensive mobo, and with features no better than on the best LGA 1150 motherboards. You could get a cheaper motherboard and a better CPU. X79 is intended for extreme-end enthusiast builds. Why the 4820k is worse than a mainstream end CPU puzzles me.

until LGA 1150 has 10 mb L3, and multiple lines of x16 pcie LGA 2011 Wil always dominate.


to the op: ripjaw z series.

If this F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH kit is the one that you're looking at, I highly recommend it. Very good frequency with a low CAS Latency. 😉

I was actually looking at http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX37137

as the other one is special order and that takes 3-4 weeks to get
