Which ram?

DSS22 · 6 Mar 2011 at 13:03

I'm trying to decide which of these three I should get for an Asus M4A78LT-M 760G (Socket AM3) DDR3 Motherboard:

OCZ Special Ops 4GB

GeIL 4GB

Corsair XMS3 4GB

Any advice?

OCZ don't get brilliant reviews for their ram anymore, whereas both XMS3 and GeIL get very good ones.

There is practically no difference between XMS3 and GeIL, however apparently the GeIL overclocks a bit better.

I would go with the Geil or the Corsair.

I'd go with the Corsair XMS3. It's what I use and I've never had a problem with it

+1 for the corsair XMS3. Great ram and got it running at it's 1.6ghz easily. Low profile for large heatsinks

I would go with none and instead go for:

You are getting same clocks as the Corsair, but the ripjaws (generally) overclock much better

Have used G Skill in the past without problems but due to the fins on the top of the new DIMMs, there's a chance they could collide with aftermarket coolers.

OP: I would go for either the geil or the corsair, ocz don't have the best reliability.
