Hello!

I need some help and advice, on wish ram would be the best to upgrade to. if it's worth upgrading offcourse 😛

currently im using Crusial Ballistix sport DDR4 2400mhz 16gb Quad channel ram with 16-16-16-35 timing

i want the best ram with best performance in the 2400mhz line

i'm looking at

Kingston HyperX 16 GB DDR4-2400 Quad-Kit 12-13-13-33 for 122euros wish is cheap and fast timings.
G.Skill 16 GB DDR4-2400 Quad Kit Timings: CL14 14-14-34

would i see an improvement in speed with games and overall experience? compared to my ballistix what im using right now?

i could go higher speeds like 2666mhz, 2800mhz or 3000mhz but only if it benefits overall usage.

Hey,

Alot of folks here went with G.Skills since (when it came out at the time) it was the best $/performance ratio. I think they still are. Their marketing is very aggressive and they deliver in terms of reliability and performance. I've always been a Corsair guy but since DDR4, i feel like Corsair tried to pull a fast one on me by cranking up their prices and delivering less than stellar cas/frequencies compared to their rivals. In their case, your reaaaallly just pay for the name. Stick with G.skills would be my recommendation.
