Hi guys! It's worth buying a trident 16GB 2666 kit for my 4790k ? I am currently using the good old kit samsung green series @ 2200 cl9 but i want to upgrade to 16Gb .. the cpu is working @ 4.8 1.29v but i don't know if this cpu's can handle 2666mhz on the mems with this oc ... the second option is the slower 2400 model the difference between this two models is 32€ (final price) Thanks in advance!
2400 mhz Cl9 if you can get it otherwise cl10 is ideal for most z87/z97 mobos.. Very few mobos can use 2666 or 2800mhz with proper advanced 2nd and 3rd timings and make real 38-42gb/s bandwidth. From what i saw and experienced myself its mostly Asus that has this "bug".. 2400 cl9 is ~36,5gb/s, 2133 cl9 is ~32,5gb/s
