Best choice for MPOWER board?

MrAnthony · 23 Nov 2012 at 10:15

Hi everyone,

I'm really set on getting the MSI MPOWER, but in regards to RAM I'm stuck on what my options are.

I'm relatively new to building PC's, and all the numbers they put with RAM confuses me. There's 9-9-9-24, then 10666, etc, etc.

Firstly, what does it all mean. And second, what's the best choice for me if I want to go with 16GB.

And if possible, it'd be nice if the aesthetics could be factored in too, although not essential.

Thanks,

- Anthony.

Ahh, excellent! That will match perfectly.

Thank you very much.

have 2 of the 2400MHz in mine and they do look great, have seen 4 running and they look awesome.

It's just ever so convenient that they have the same yellow stripe/pattern

Nicely priced too, which is just ideal.

Thanks again.

they have the same stripe pattern because they are designed for this board
