RAM upgrade

[Ratfink]

I'm looking to replace the 2x4GB RAM sticks I have for 2x8GB for DCS 2.0, but I am a bit lost as to what to upgrade to.

 

The HyperX Genesis I have are CL9, and this seems to be the closest match in 16GB...

Also does CL9 or CL10 really make a difference? Kingston also have HyperX fury, which claims to auto overclock but are CL10.

The CL dose make little difference, it is the speed of the ram in Mhz that you are looking to upgrade. I see you have 1866 mhz ram. Your mother board is able to take up to 2600 mhz ram. You relay don't need more than 8gb of ram. Just get a higher mhz or overclock what you have.

I run my 1866 ram at 1960 and it made a big difference in the speed of the PC over any other OC I did.

So if I went with this

I guess I just need to set the XMP profile to allow the 2400MHz and though it's CL11, it will be more RAM and quicker too?

decided to go with the HyperX in my OP. I know 1866 works well on my system as it is, no OC on any components and as long as I continue to hit over 60 fps then I 'm happy :)
