What RAM modules should I take ?

[Cov]

Hi,

my upcoming computer is going to have the following hardware:

CPU _ Intel i5 2500K
Mainboard _ Intel DH67CF
RAM _ G.Skill xxxxxxxx

The system should be power sufficient, reliable and silent.
If I could, I would underclock & undervolt, but afaik the mainboard does not allow that.

The mainboard has two banks which can take up to 16 GB of RAM modules.
My question: can you recommend compatible G.Skill RAM modules for that system, please ?

The chipset is called H67, suitable for DDR3 1333/1066-MHz RAM.



Would it work if I took one single 8GB module only instead of 2x4 GB, or do both banks have to be filled ?

Otherwise I would go for either 2x4 or 2x8 GB.


As far as I can see, these following modules seem to be compatible:

1. F3-10666CL9D-8GBXL (4GB2x)
2. F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL (4GBx2)
3. F3-10666CL9S-4GBRL (4GBx1)
4. F3-10600CL9D-8GBNT (4GBx2)


My favourite design:



F3-10666CL7D-8GBECO

... but they are designed for the Intel P55 chipset only. Are there similar looking modules for the H67 chipset existing ? I don't mind taking RAMs with higher specs than the motherboard is capable to use. They are all downwards compatible anyway, right ?

The ones on the picture have 1.35 instead 1.5 V .. would that make any difference in power consumption and/or heat generation ?

Thank you
