chris-82 · 15 Apr 2013 at 16:27

i currently have this ram

kingston hyper x 8gb @1600mhz)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-094-KS

and im looking at changing it too this ram: (Patriot Intel Extreme Masters 8GB)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-068-PA

im only doing this because my case colour theme is blue and the kingstons are grey i wont be paying for them as im doing a build and can swap them so he has my ram and i take this new ram (which he knows about and prefers mine)

what im really asking is which is the better set of ram? more reliable,better warranty,faster and so on.

any help is much appreciated cheers chris

Nothing wrong with the patriot ram, I have the Patriot Viper Venom 2133mhz stuff.

wont be any performance difference but they do look good.
