As stated on the thread tittle, I am in the process of building a new rig. Mostly for gaming and while Ive decided on most parts, I simply dont know what G.Skill set to get.
The mobo is an ASRock Z77 extreme4 which has the following Memory specs:
- Dual Channel DDR3 memory technology
- 4 x DDR3 DIMM slots
- Supports DDR3 2800+(OC)/2400(OC)/2133(OC)/1866(OC)/1600/1333/1066 non-ECC, un-buffered memory
- Max. capacity of system memory: 32GB*
- Supports Intel? Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) 1.3 / 1.2
and the CPU is the Intel i5 3570k that has the following memory specs:
Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type) 32 GB
Memory Types DDR3-1333/1600
# of Memory Channels 2
Max Memory Bandwidth 25.6 GB/s
ECC Memory Supported No
I might be wrong but Im pretty sure those are the components that matter when choosing the best RAM set for the rig.
I checked both G.Skill's list for sets qualified to ASRock Z77 extreme4 and while at it checked ASRock's one as well.
I found it weird that ASRock lists some sets that aren't on the G.Kill link provided.
And thus my decision on making this thread.
I originally indended on getting a 2x4GB model with the highest clock speed I could aford (since the mobo supports up to 2800mhz), since I assume that the higher the better. (Misconception?)
Should I limit myself to cross referencing the lists? Doing so limits my self to this set F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR, that has a speed of "only" 1833mhz.
Im really torn about this and any input would be greatly appreciated. And I apologise If this kind of thread is incovenient.
