Memory Upgrade Question

zom247 · 21 Jun 2016 at 20:02

I've currently got 2 x 4GB Samsung Green sticks in my PC and I'd like to upgrade the ram to 16GB. Can anyone recommend some kits (2 x 8GB) to go with my board/cpu:

Maximus V Gene
2600k @ 4.4GHz

I mostly game nowadays but do use handrake for encoding now and again.

What type of cooler do you have? As often this may have an effect on the height of ram you can use.

I have a H100i so headroom not a problem.

Thats handy. Used team group ram in the past and found it to be pretty decent.

2133mhz is pretty much the sweetspot on the Z77 platform.
