RAM Recommendation?

HorseDrawn · 20 May 2013 at 18:18

Hey all,

I have around £130 - £160 to spend on some RAM, my motherboard can support speeds of up to 2133 MHZ (OC) and has 4 DDR3 slots. I guess I am looking for around 8GB.

Could someone please recommend some good ram that is within that price range?

I would be extremely grateful

Thank you

you can probably get 16GB for that price range. Going to 2133MHz doesnt give you the extra performance you might think it would or is there another reason for looking at that speed? Also do you need LP memory or normal size?

I am not looking for that particular speed for any reason, That is just the maximum my MOBO will support. I would like the best performance within that budget but a minimum of 8GB is what I require.

Regarding the size of the RAM, normal size is fine.

Thanks for taking the time

Also which cpu cooler are you using as this is a deciding factor in ram height?

I am using a stock Intel cooler, ram height will not be an issue, I also have a very large case.

If you could link me to those particular RAM sticks I would appreciate it, I am not sure which ones you mean.

Which motherboard is it???

For 2133mhz you could always get Sammy Green as suggested above and overclock them.

These Hynix based IC are great at this speed.
