Best ddr3 for Asus Maximus Gene V

[Flanno]

Hi,

I am about to buy 2X8GB ddr3 for a new build which will be an Asus Maximus Gene V and 3770K. I'm trying to stick with red/black dimms to match the theme of my case. Probably cooling with a megahalems red or h80i. So am seeking some advice.

I was wondering what would be the best kit to get from the ones I have listed below. Also is it safe to run at 1.65v.

It would seem the only 1.5v memory is the 1866mhz CAS9 and 2133mhz CAS11. The only exception being the 2400mhz Geil Evo CAS11, which I assume could be tightened up at lower speeds.

All the Team stuff 2400mhz stuff is 1.65v CAS10.

Which is the best kit ?

If it was me I would buy the Team 2400 C10. This should tune well at all frequency's. I personally use Team Xtreem in two X79 rigs with great effect.

Thanks mate for the quick reply. Much appreciated.

One question on the Team 2400 C10.
Is 1.65v safe and will it run at 1.5v on lower speeds (like the 2133kit which is 1.5v)

thanks

edit : doh.....you already said it will tune well at all frequencies....

These Team tune nicely at all levels.
