Their Differences and performance to justify the 36.3% price difference

from C$179.99

Price difference is C$48 (or 36.3% more)

If i ever overclock in future it will be a safe one.
I would appreciate your comments and opinions

Well performance between those two kits shouldn't be that different. They use the same memory ratio and the G.SKILL kit even has the better timings. So i don't think paying 48$ extra would be a smart choice.

As far as overclocking goes, DDR3-2400 basically is the sweet spot for performance with Haswell and Devils Canyon already. For higher clocked kits it might be necessary to manually tweak secondary and tertiary timings for performance (because many boards do drastically relax those at higher ratios for compatibility reasons).

Thank you emissary

I have an Asus A88XM-E AMD FM2+ Motherboard with 2 memory slots.
I also use Windows 7 Home 64bit (which supports up to a maximum of 16GB Ram memory)
The processor is AMD A6 6400K Black Edition Dual Core FM2 Model AD640KOKHLBOX

1. the G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C11D-16GXM priced by Newegg.ca at C$ 132...

2. G.SKILL Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C10D-16GTX is priced at C$ 165 also by Newegg.ca

3. What are their differences and why C$ 33 price higher for the Trident one?

4. I understand they are both compatible with my motherboard and the AMD processor.
4.1 I also understand that both your memory kits will allow me to overclock my system.
Am I correct with both my information of questions 4 and 4.1 above?

Thank you kindly

Should I swap memory kits for best performances?

I have purchased the G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C11D-16GXM.

Now having said this and judging from your and other opinions i've read around forums i would like to ask the following:

I already had a system working with following components:
- Intel i5 4670K (not yet overclocked)
- Asus Z87 Sabertooth motherboard
- 2 x 8GB DDR3 Dual 1600 Ram
- Windows 7 Home 64-bit OS

the new system I am now putting together consists of:
- AMD A6 6400K Black Edition Dual Core APU 4.1/4.0 Ghz FM2
- Asus A88XM-E AMD FM2+ 2xDDR3 with 2 memory slots
- Windows 7 Home 64-bit OS

To optimize performance of the 2 different kits of RAM would I be better off to use the Model F3-2400C11D-16GXM on the Intel/Sabertooth system and the DDR3 1600 for the new system AMD A6/Asus A88XM-E?

A consideration is that Window 7 Home 64bit has a maximum support for 16GB of Ram.
Also, do you know if same RAM limitation will exist in the freely upgradeable upcoming entry level Windows 10 OS ?

Lastly, could you lead me to tutorials about how-to safely overclock RAM, processors and motherboards?

I would appreciate your knowledgeable contributions.


Thank you kindly

Yes, the 2400 kit would work better for the Intel platform.

Win 10 will not have that memory limitation

Search ASUS Z87 overclocking guide and you should find lots of information you need.
