DDR3, which ram should I pick?

Treekodar · 21 Jul 2009 at 18:47

I'm at a loss right now because I'm not quite sure which ram I should choose. I've been looking at the following:

OCZ Platinum DDR3 1600 running at 7-7-7-24 with a voltage of 1.65V. It's a 6 GB kit(3x2 GB).

Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600 running at 7-7-7-20 with a voltage of 1.65V, which is also a 6 GB kit.

Which should I choose? I'm getting an i7 920(which I'm going to OC).

Okay, but I'm not quite sure what to look at when I'm buying RAM. Is a 7-7-7-20 @ 1600 better than a 7-7-7-24 @ 1600, or should I be looking at something else?

im not really sure if you'll notice that much of a major difference

Going from personal experience I'd opt for this I'm currently running it at 1800 mhz ! 9.9.9.20 CR2 1.63v's

absolutely stunning stuff
