As the title says I'm building new system. I'm going with the i7-930 and the Gigabyte EX58-UD5 mother board. Problem is I can not decide on what ram to get. Should I get DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) or DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000)? I'm going with 6gb ram. The cpu will be under water cooling and will be overclocking to max 24/7. Right now I'm thinking of getting these G.Skill Trident 6GB DDR3 2000 F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD. What do you guys think?
Just reading review i would go with those tridents they are a great chip and excellent for overclocking and are at a great price especially if you compare them to corsair.
Corsair is expensive but uber reliable, g skill is cheaper but also very good! Id say if corsair are out of the budget stick with the g skills, there great chips.
I got those Trident sticks you are planning to buy (3*2gb 2000MHz). I havent really pushed these to the limit or anything, but works fine. I wonder if there is any difference between Trident and some quality Corsair/Mushkin sticks.
yeah I couldnt make up my mind.. For the speed and the price I think im gonna go with the 2000 g.skill. Now the fun will begin tring to learn i7/x58 settup.
