Recommended Memory for M5A99X + FX 8350

[Ofesad]

Hi everyone!

 

Im Ofesad from argentina.

Im upgrading my pc, so I already bought a AMD FX8350 + Asus M5A99X EVO R 2.0 motherboard.

 

The question I have is:

I wanna put 16gb of ram. (2x8gb).

Running at 1600mhz stable.

I see that there's too much information over the internet, but, also, many problems with configuration.

So, what memory kits would you recommend?

 

Sadly, here, in Argentina, I dont have a lot of options (Kingston, Gskill, Corsair, mostly). In fact, finding a 2x8gb kit it's quite difficult.

 

I was browsing and a local store has the CMY16GX3M2A1866C9 and CMY16GX3M2A1600C9 for almost the same price.

That, of course, would be my first option, but still I wanna ask you what would you recommend?

 

I have been overclocking other pcs but this time I would like to not deal with all the problems and issues related with the stability and running tests.

I mean, if you say that some other sticks would work even better or have a better "compatibility" with the mb/processor to get 1600mhz, I will try to get those memory kits.

 

Thank you for reading, Ill be expecting your comments and ideas.

Should both run just fine. I'd get 1866 kit n if u have issue at that speed drop to 1600 9-9-9-24. For moderate price diff might as well.

your processor supports 1866 ram

and your motherboard supports up to 1866 without overclocking

 

so get the 1866!!!

Thank you guys!

 

I just found a local store that also has the CMZ16GX3M2A1866C9, more expensive than the other (i dont know why).

 

Is there a real difference between the Vengeance and the Vengeance Pro?

What kit you think is best to get a easier and faster stable and working gig?

 

Thank you!

Another option:

 

GSkill (Sniper) F3-1866C9D-16GSR

 

Cheaper than any of the others.
