uncertain which is the right memory for a i15 mobo checked several posts and think all three of the 1600 ripjaw kits have been recomended
 
C7 - anything else will slow you down. It might not be anything massive, but it does just feel snappier with lower latency RAM.
 
What they say is that in games it makes little or no difference. That's a perfectly valid conclusion but if you're overclocking or just using the system for Windows, it makes a lot of difference.

It doesn't make a lot of difference.

You may get more points running 3dmark 2001 an slightly better times running super pi though :p

Have you tried them back to back in general use? I have recently built three identical machines which are in use side by side - one with C7 RAM and two with C9, all running at 1600MHz. Everyone (7 users) has said they like to use the C7 machine more but they can't quite put their finger on why. It just seems quicker opening windows etc. It may be made more noticeable because the machines are all using separate SSDs as their boot and data drives however in all respects other than the RAM kit used, they are identical.

I have no doubt that it will also help memory specific benchmarks, and as Bit-Tech have already said, it makes very little difference in games (<1fps I think) so my recommendation for the faster stuff is simple - if you want a better experience, get the lower latency stuff.
