expensive ram worth the extra cost?

[smilertoo]

Hello,

I have one of the original OC overclock setups (i920@4ghz, 6gb ram) and i'm thinking of adding another 12gb.

My 3 choices are:
Corsair Vengeance 12GB (3x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz £125
Crucial Ballistix Sport 12GB (3x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C10 1600MHz £68
Kingston HyperX Genesis 12GB (3x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz £66

I'd like to know if the corsair is worth paying nearly twice the amount of the other 2?

Thanks

Not really, stick with the Kingston.

Kingston all the way at that price

As mentioned it's not worth the extra cost - the Kingston or the Ballistix sets are just as fast in every day computing.

The (very slightly) tighter timings of the more expensive sets have no discernible effect in day to day usage.
