I've been planning an upgrade to Skylake. Still need to decide which ram kit to buy. I wont be overclocking, but would like to get RAM that allows me to overclock if I change my mind in the future.
HyperX Predator looks best performance-wise, there's 4 kits with different clock/timings available:
#1 HX430C15PBK4/32
- 3000 MHz
- CL15-16-16 @1.35V
- 432€
#2 HX428C14PBK4/32
- 2800 MHz
- CL14-15-15 @1.35V
- 412€
#3 HX426C13PBK4/32
- 2666 MHz
- CL13-14-14 @1.35V
- 383€
#4 HX424C12PBK4/32
- 2400 MHz
- CL12-13-13 @1.35V
- 359€
#5 HX421C13PBK4/32
- 2133 MHz
- CL13-13-13 @1.2V
- 408€
Prices are almost the same for each of these kits, so it comes to sacrificing clock or timings. Downsides for Predator kits are price and the size of heatsink (most likely can't fit a large CPU cooler with these).
Then there's HyperX FURY. HS is smaller and price is lower, but so are numbers:
#1 HX426C15FBK4/32
- 2666 MHz
- CL15-17-17 @1.2V
- 300€
#2 HX424C15FBK4/32
- 2400 MHz
- CL15-15-15 @1.2V
- 280€
#3 HX421C14FBK4/32
- 2133 MHz
- CL14-14-14 @1.2V
- 296€
Is there some other brands/kits I should be looking for? The ones I listed stood out from everywhere I looked at.
I know most people will say 'just pick the cheapest one and be happy', but I wan't to get best bang for the buck, even if the difference would be marginal. I'm not in a hurry to upgrade.
