Best 8Gb memory on OC?

highfive · 7 Jun 2014 at 08:54

I am so confused, I wish you could filter by reviews/rating (highest first) on the shop.

I have seen the teamgroup vulcan red with 9-9-9-24, then i also see other modules are 7-7-7-21 does that mean these are faster? There is also 9-11-9-24, guessing these are slower than 9-9-9-24.

I want to best 8Gb Ram for around the £60 mark, my mobo can accept max 1800Mhz o.c. so a set of modules that are good for o.c. would be great.

Guessing it is better to buy 1866+ memory to o.c. to 1800mhz or is that wrong?

As many suggestions as you can give would be appreciated and reasons behind.

Thanks,

IMHO grab a decent set of 2400mhz ram. Use Xms profile and enjoy. The timings make little odds .

I should mention my build is;

Phenom II x6 1100T
ASUS M4A78LTM
2GB GT610
300w PSU (Upgrading to superFlower 400/450 soon)
WD Caviar Green 500GB 7200RPM

Thanks,

If you want to OC then aim for a high speed set. The timings are important for performance but you want high speed tight timings. If you search you will see some comparisons on speed vs timings.

You won't get much out of an 1100t memory wise, aim for a decent 1600/1866 kit.
