Hi guys

Going to place an order tonight for some stuff that I need. I am going to put a new set of RAM in because my old ones are going into my brothers system.

Question is, which set would you have?:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Avexir Blitz 1.1 Original 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17000C9 2133MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit (AVD3U21330904G-2BZ1) £89.99
1 x Kingston HyperX 8GB (2x4GB) PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black/Red (HX24C11BRK2/8-OC) £67.99
Total : £167.58 (includes shipping : £8.00).




Personally I like the look of the Avexir one better due to its light effects. Which one would you go for?

Thanks for any help:)

I'd go for the Kingston. It's clocked higher than the Avexir. Also, fancy lights don't make your rig perform better. ;)
 
Well the Kingston sticks run faster but with slacker timings, and are considerably cheaper.
The Avexir sticks run slower but with tighter timings and are considerably more expensive.

I suppose it boils down to how much you like the look of the Avexir RAM.
 
TeamGroup have a 2400MhzC10 kit that is better rated than both.

Also I move a lot of your threads to more relevant sections, can you please make sure you start a thread in the correct section rather than just using GH all the time.
 
Either or, both will tighten up to c10 at 2400. Though agree with stulid, for a little over £70 you can get the team group 2400c10 kit
 
Lower timings are better. Even though the Kingston runs at a higher Mhz the Avexir has much tighter timings so they will probably perform very similarly. The faster you go means you are trading timings for speed and it get's to a point where a faster speed ram is no better than a slower speed ram with tight timings. At the end of the day it makes bugger all difference to gaming anyway.
 
Okay so say this rams discription is this:


Features:-
- Module Type 240Pin Unbuffered DIMM Non ECC
- CL-tRCD-tRP-tRAS 11-13-13-35
- DRAM Density 128x8 / 256x8 / 512x8
- Data transfer bandwidth 19,200MB/Sec (PC3 19200)
- Heat Sink Aluminum heat-sink
- Working voltage 1.55V-1.65V
- Warranty Lifetime warranty
- Haswell & AMD Richland compatible


I would look at this bit:
CL-tRCD-tRP-tRAS 11-13-13-35
and the lower the numbers the better
