Hi, I'm looking to buy either G.Skill Ripjaws or the regular vanilla variety for my new computer build. Both kinds are on the Computer Memory Test Labs result page for my motherboard.
What exactly are the differences between the two SKUs? Are the heatsinks more efficient on the Ripjaws? Are there any performances gaps between the two (even though they're clocked the same)? The regular G.Skill RAM is $2 cheaper per 2 x 2 GB kit. I'm looking to buy 8 GB (2 x 4 GB), so if one will last longer than the other, I'm in favor of that kit.
G.Skill Ripjaws F3-10666CL9D-4GBRL on Newegg x 2 @ $54.99 each + FREE shipping = $109.98
G.Skill F3-10666CL9D-4GBNQ on Newegg x 2 @ $52.99 each + FREE shipping = $105.98
And just to be sure, will there be any problems using 4 DIMMs in 4 slots on this motherboard? I had an issue with an old Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 motherboard and 4 x 1 GB Corsair PC2-6400C4 RAM in all four slots until a BIOS update was released.
Thanks in advance for your help.
