Unless your going for extreme overclocking (especially with exotic cooling) where the rules all change again - for normal use/moderate overclocking I look at the sticks with even tRCD/tRP as they are likely to be Samsung ICs - aslong as your not paying a big premium don't be afraid to buy 2400 sticks as these seem to more often have Samsung ICs - then stick em in at 9-10-10-21 @ 2133MHz if they are stable at that (should be without needing any DRAM adjustment) and you get pretty much optimal bandwidth and latency for overall use on the z87 and x79 platforms. Above that you will only see any real world advantages if your running 8/16 or 10/20, etc. core/thread CPUs or highly specific situations.

EDIT: Ooops noticed AMD CPU in sig - not sure if the same rules apply there.
