Desktop Memory - Which one ??

[jomardi]

Hello dear community, What would you advise to take Memory, budget 120 $

 

I look for this one http://amzn.com/B00679QX0O G.Skill RipjawsZ 16GB 2133MHz 4x4GB

Please, if you have other options offer me.

 

Thanks advanced.

 

sry for my bad english.

Since these modules are on the DDR3 2133 Qualified Vendors List (QVL) for your motherboard you can't go wrong on these.

Check the list on Asus website for other brands that have been tested. G.Skill isn't expensive and I'm quite happy with my memory modules from them.

Thanks for feedback.

 

https://www.asus.com/au/Motherboards/P9X79/HelpDesk_QVL/ yes, here is in the list, but I'm not well-versed, there is grapha; "Part No." means, that must be Identical When choosing a model, or nothing )) also Only one of which is written "XMP" what is ?

 

 

And another, someone told me, that much higher MHz is not good for 2011 socket. it's true ? :)

Much higher Mhz is not good anyway's.

And usually not because it will cause stuff to break.

Just because you won't notice the difference unless specifically benchmarking for it.

 

Its more useful to spend your money on more RAM rather then faster RAM.

 

Before we begin, we'd like to make an important remark: overclocking your memory has a much lower effect on the performance of your PC than, say, overclocking your processor or graphics card. Here at Hardware.Info, we have often studied things such as the performance difference between outfitting your PC with DDR3-1600, DDR3-1866, or DDR3-2133 memory. Every time, we concluded that it is practically impossible to determine the difference using benchmarks that are not specifically tailored to memory, let alone to determine if there is a noticeable difference. We would thus recommend that "regular" users purchase more memory rather than faster memory. Hence us always putting affordable DDR3-1600 kits in our PC Advice systems.

XMP means that you can select a pre-defined overclock in the bios. If you search the internet for XMP profile you'll find more information. And there will be also information in the manual from your motherboard.

To me choosing these settings never gave problems, but it is always your own choice to make changes in the bios.

At least Asus shows in their list that they have tested these memory modules for this motherboard.

Whatever your choice, always make sure that you have enough cooling. Monitor temperatures with software like MSI Afterburner or CPUID HWMonitor.

159th_Falcon, hsth, thanks a lot! very helpful.

I have run Corsair Dominator ram for years with great success, have never had any issues related to the ram that I am aware of.

Higher Mhz is not good??? Where did you get that joke?

[159th_Falcon]

It's not a joke, its true.

 

Have a look on this overclocking Review;

PS, would there be a reason that they say on every RAM OC aritcle;

"faster RAM no longer has much of an influence on a PC's general performance"

Or something to that extend.

I see nothing which mentions that the faster memory is not good.

I think "not worth the higher price" is more appropriate for normal user. :v: But at the same price... Why not?
