Help Me Pick Memory ASAP Thursday, January 26, 2012 1:56 PM (permalink)

Or

2x of this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231443

The Vengeance looks better to me (Physically). But it also has more bad reviews about Corsair support, etc. BUT the G.SKILL is 8-8-8-24, instead of 9-9-9-24 like Corsair.

Which to get right now? It's for my new Z68 build.

Ehh, too much black for my rig... I want my rig to be blue, black, and white.

Outta the two in the OP, or these, which is best?

Those whites are 1.35v, is that too low or whatever for SB? I just want it to perform great. Not looking into OC'ing my memory, since I can't lay alot with BCLK on SB chips.

I like those white vengeance's. I'd say go with those!

I would get any one of those, just depends how much your looking to spend. I personally like that last Vengeance kit, 16GB for $90 shipped? A steal right there.

LOL. Okay! Sorry for my picky choices! Now it's outta the white LP's or those last blue ones. Money isn't a prob. Which should I go with? I'll have white tubing, blue compressions, and the Asus (Blue, black, and white board).

Will the white LP's go good, since they're artic white?

If you got one of those blue kits, theres a chance it wouldn't match well as opposed to the white ones just being white.. lol what could go wrong?

Lol true, true.

ONE more question! I am getting 18 Monsoon compressions.

Should I get blue with white tubing? White with blue tubing? Or just buy red in case I go back to EVGA boards (Jacob said they'll release the Z77 boards soon). I just am nervous paying about $110 for compressions, and not liking the color in a month or so.

But no not really. 8GB sticks will be harder to OC. BUT 4 sticks will take a bigger load on DIMM voltage, and NB voltage. So it goes either way. For the price, I would get 4x4GB.

Yeah Z77 is like right around the corner. I'd say stick with all white for compression's and tubing, would look better IMO.

I like how they're shiny. Plus I have the white memory, so I don't want too much white.. And when Z77 releases, I might just get another Asus, so I can keep my "Arctic" colors going on.
