hi looking to upgrade my 8gb ram to 16gb DDR3

also got to be able to fit under a Noctua D15 cooler

Which ram would you recommend

previous ram was 1600mhz team ram

processor is 4790k and a gigabyte Z97-D3H motherboard

Don't need any more than 1600mhz.

Seems to be some weird info around this and there is a rather big difference in some games. Here are some that I found with google and their are plenty more out.

Interesting. Wasn't aware of that. The DF results are significant.
