xclock Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 wanted to replace my old XMS 3x4GB 2000mhz kit. looking for some vengence pro quad channel kit. i see the nominator is also good choice. my old kit is running fine @2400 11.12.11.33 with 1.60v. just that need more ram in my system. so what are the options. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emissary42 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 If you're already set on 4x8GB, Vengeance Pro and DDR3-2666, then that would be CMY32GX3M4A2666C11R. The Dominator Platinum alternative would be CMD32GX3M4A2666C11. However availability you'd have to check for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xclock Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 thanks i cant fine the 2666mhz kit only this kit is on the site http://www.corsair.com/en/vengeance-pro-series-32gb-4-x-8gb-ddr3-dram-2800mhz-c12-memory-kit-cmy32gx3m4a2800c12r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emissary42 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Hm, it seems the two kits i mentioned are not listed anymore after the websites redesign (i don't know if this is intentional or just an error). However there also is http://www.corsair.com/de-de/dominator-platinum-series-32gb-4-x-8gb-ddr3-dram-2666mhz-c12-memory-kit-cmd32gx3m4a2666c12 Edit: found one http://www.corsair.com/de-de/dominator-platinum-series-32gb-4-x-8gb-dual-quad-channel-ddr3-dram-2666mhz-c11-memory-kit-cmd32gx3m4a2666c11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xclock Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 may be ddr3-2800 looks better choice over ddr3-2666mhz if cpu can manage. thanks emissary42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegotico Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 your motherboard (RAMPAGE IV GENE) only supports up to ddr3-2400 (OC). So maybe you are better off with 2400 or 2133 speeds. 32 gb of dominator platinum at 2400 http://www.corsair.com/en/dominator-platinum-series-32gb-4-x-8gb-ddr3-dram-2400mhz-c10-memory-kit-cmd32gx3m4a2400c10 32 gb of vengeance pro 2133 http://www.corsair.com/en/vengeance-pro-series-32gb-4-x-8gb-ddr3-dram-2133mhz-c11-memory-kit-cmy32gx3m4a2133c11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegotico Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 i dont follow out dated manual. could you supply some proof otherwise http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/RAMPAGE_IV_GENE/specifications/ there are no bios updates that indicate that ram over 2400 is supported.

emissary42 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 You need to have a decent Ivy Bridge-E processor (Intel Core i7 4xxx series) and thats about it. If you know what you're doing OC-wise, that certainly doesn't hurt either. There even were some presentations at for example Computex using the board with 4x8GB DDR3-2666. Also almost every of the initial reviews clearly stated that DDR3-2666 divider was available right from the start (it was however pretty hopeless to get memory clock that high with a Sandy Bridge-E cpu). I personally wouldn't really pick DDR3-2666 or DDR3-2800 over a DDR3-2400 kit for 24/7 use, but hey... to each his own =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nichrome Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 2400 is more than enough for most CPUs. Some can't handle 2133 (my i5 can) but in fact I see no point getting higher than 2133, not much performance increase in games, and in things like graphics editor or video editing it will be maybe 5-10 seconds difference in e.g. 10 min compression progress. Get those that are 2133 or 2400 and if you'd need higher, just change settings :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
