Best X99 Ram

Evening All,

What's the best DDR4 Ram to go with for my up coming X99 build, are Corsair still the default standard?

Ideally in a 16Gb or 32GB configuration.

Thanks

I think for X99 Kingston Predator 3000mhz 16gb are a great kit and very reliable or 32gb 2666mhz Kingston are also for me the way to go.

For Z170 Corsair are the stand out brand at the moment for sure.

Lovely thank you.

Have Corsair dropped the ball now days or are they just overpriced?

No not at all. They are doing some great stuff on Z170 reallly awesome with Samsung IC. I just think X99 certainly Haswell E prefers the Hynix IC offered by Kingston. Its really that simple.

Is the same still true for Broadwell-E CPU's now we are out of NDA?

Some nice looking Corsair led ram. Vengeance and Dominator announced at Computex.

I've had some great results with B Die Samsung on Haswell-E with the Trident-Z kit. Straight 13s with 32GB at 3200Mhz is a very nice place to be with an 8 core for a daily OC
