picking the right ram ?

dunny87 · 24 Oct 2009 at 19:13

Hi guys im at abit of a loss as to what ram to buy and would like some advice the rig is being made for gaming

MB- MSI P55-GD65
CPU - I5 750

CPU - Memory Controller: Dual channel DDR3 800/1066/1333 MHz
MB - Memory: 4x DDR3 DIMM 2133(OC) / 1600 / 1333 / 1066 MHz

soo i would need ram at 1066 or 1333 ?
planning to use the OC Genie feature, but i dont know a lot about overclocking so wont be trying to push it much more than what the OC Genie gives.

would the below be suitable or is there something around the same price which would be better ?

That Corsair memory would work, you probably wouldn't notice the difference in performance if you got some slightly slower ram instead: e.g: THIS for £15 cheaper

I'm looking at this too and wondering about this. I'll be running the i5 on a Noctua and wonder what o/c I'll get

i decided to go for the corsair due to

"from MSI, *To enable OC Genie, we suggest you using the new 1.65V XMP memory modules and a high efficiency CPU cooler."

and the corsair is 1.65 and XMP, if that actually means a lot to the hardcore OCers i don't know, but to me it means it should work fine
