codemanlee Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 which of these are better for me and how much better? CMP6GX3M3A1600C7, CMP6GX3M3A1600C8, CMT6GX3M3A1866C9. the first two are the same price but i dont know much about ram and all i really do is play wow but i do want it to be maxed out the best i can. dont think i will be overclocking cause i dont know how but maybe one day later i might learn. please help me with this and thanks.

trackrat Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Any of those three will work fine. Grab the CMP6GX3M3A1600C7 as the latency is slightly quicker (C7 vs. C8 - at the same price). You are not likely to see any real performance difference however between C7, C8 or C9 DIMMs nor even 1600 MHz. vs. 1866 MHz. on most applications You can learn how to read the Corsair part numbers at the link below from the F.A.Q.s: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=80808 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codemanlee Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 Do I have to put thermal Compound on RAM? I know I have to have some on the CPU. someone said something about putting something on ram in bestbuy. he said something about not to put to much on it but just a little. forgot what it was :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 No, you don't put themal compound on memory. The heat spreaders are permanently attached at the factory. Slap the sticks into the slots and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
