LangZone Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hey guys. Recently I've begun switching from a red and black build to a white and black build. Current build is here (make sure to scroll to the bottom for updates if you want to look.) The only thing that's static red in my case is my 32GB (4x8GB) 1600mhz Vengeance ram. I figured, who needs to buy new ram, I'll part those heat spreaders no problem and paint them with heat conductive paint (not that it matters) warranty be damned. Well, perhaps I went a bit too fast with the heat gun because I ended up breaking a chip off of the PCB of one of my DIMMS. Egg on face. Moving on from this sad life lesson, I've decided to buy the Dominator Platinum that I've always wanted. I'm looking for 16GB (2X8GB) and can't decide if I want: 1866mhz http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233287 or 2133mhz: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233401 What do you guys think? Is it worth getting the 2133mhz or should I grab the 1866 and try to OC? I know that after 1600mhz there's not really any real world performance gain but come on, we all know why anyone buys high end ram kits. Case Cred! Thanks for your input.

emissary42 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 The CMD16GX3M2A2133C9 can oc to DDR3-2400 ez, but with the CMD16GX3M2A1866C9 it depends a bit more upon what ICs you get on them (if you're buying local try to get a V4.xx or V5.xx kit).

HOODedAssault Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Go 2133. For the price difference why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wytnyt Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 regardless what you buy,,you need to see what speed memory your cpu can run with as it does have a limit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LangZone Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 3570K will handle 2400mhz no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
