Best RAM Module for gaming

hey guys i have a question which of this RAM module is best suited for gaming

1. Patriot Sector 5 G
2. Corsair Vengeance
3. Kingston HyperX
4. Wintex AMPX
5. Corsair XMS3
6. G.Skill Sniper
7. Adapta XPG
8. G. Skill Ripjaws
9. Corsair Dominator

If all of them have the same latencies, I dont think you would notice the difference.

Unless you are overclocking or reducing the Latency. you won't find any real world difference between Rams running at same speed and latency. In fact after, 1866 MHz speed, the improvement in performance with higher speed Ram in gaming is really negligible. Also each of the models you have mentioned, have different versions with different speed and latency. Better quote your budget and let us choose one for you.

I am confused between
1. Dominator® GT with DHX Pro Connector — 1.5V 16GB Dual/Quad Channel DDR3 Memory Kit (CMT16GX3M4X2133C9)
Specification :
1. 16GB
2. 2133MHz
3. 9-11-10-27 latency
4. Intel XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) support
2. Vengeance™ Memory — 32GB 2400MHz CL10 DDR3 Dual/Quad Kit (CMZ32GX3M4A2400C10)
Specification :
1. 2400MHz with headroom to allow overclocking
2. 1.65V
3. 10-12-12-31 latency
3. G skill trident x

DDR3-2666 PC3 21300 16GB(4GB x 4)
CL 11-13-13-35-2N 1.65V
4. Intel XMP 1.3 (Extreme Memory Profile) Support
Also compatible with Intel and AMD dual channel DDR3 Platforms

what about
G skill sniper x
F3-2666C11Q-16GTXD
DDR3-2666 PC3 21300 16GB(4GB x 4)
CL 11-13-13-35-2N 1.65V

my recent config: i. core i5 3570k
ii. ASRock extreme z77
iii.Sapphire Toxic 7970 hd
iv kingston entry level 6gb ram (dont know what model it is , but it is just a basic 1333 mhz one)
but the problem with the g-skill one previously i mentioned is it does not support any amd chip so in recent future i wanna buy a configuration with fx one (maybe fx 8350) then i will have problem.
also out of the subject of this thread can u tell me which soundrcard will be better not only for game also for flac music
1. creative soundblaster fatalty
2. Asus xonar ESSENCE STX

what about
g-skill sniper tridentx
DDR3-2666 PC3 21300 16GB(4GB x 4)
CL 11-13-13-35-2N 1.65V

and beside my budget is around 6000 rs :-?

my budget is around 6000 rs

I got sniper 4*2 gb sniper bundle for 4k from flipkart. Pretty satisfied from it and its heatspreaders dont interfere with my evo

*Which extreme z77 ?
None of them support quad channel memory.

*I havent heard of memory chip compatibility problems unless the ram type is different (ie ddr,ddr2,ddr3). :-?

*I would go with the Asus sound-card.

16gb @ 6k is a tough fight.
Check this : G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 16GB (2 x 8 GB) PC RAM (F3-12800CL10D-16GBXL)
The CL9 is better, but costlier. Check local market for lower rates.

You dont need 16gb for gaming. Higher clocks aren't going to visibly boost frame rates in gaming. 1600mhz 2x4gb is enough. If you are into OCing, prefer gskills.
I would suggest you take this. G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 8GB (2 x 4 GB) PC RAM (F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL)
Save the extra money.

Both RipjawsX and Dominator are great ram's. The only problem that can arise is the interference of heat spreaders with the (aftermarket) CPU cooler. BTW which cpu cooler do you currently own?

i have corsair h80

i have z77 extreme4 , yea now isee it doesnt support

and it ie true the g-skill tridentx F3-2666C11Q-16GTXD only support z77 motherboard no support for 990fx,because at there website there is no AMD board in there support list.

See here: G.Skill TridentX F3-2666C11Q-16GTXD 4x 4GB 2666 MHz C11 Review | techPowerUp

Those guys were using the Trident on an 990FX mobo (see the logo on liquid cooler on the cpu besides the ram).

but wait this is not supported for my board and so what should iget in 2 channel (2*8) by the way i will overclock AND BY THE WAY I CAN STRETCH MY BUDGET AROUND 2K MORE

Although I seriously doubt the compatibility issue, I think Dominator is ~= Trident.

will Corsair Vengeance DDR3 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) PC RAM (CMZ16GX3M2A1866C10R) be great .i saw its price 9063 rs in flipcart and though i am stretching my original budget around 3k but i think it is great

Seriously, 9000 for RAM??? There would be no visible difference between 1600 MHz and 2133 MHz or a 1 ms lower latency.

but it gives me a ram cooler with it which most of the module does not include & as a overclocker it is eye catching.

9000 rupees for something eye catching and ram cooler??? just get the G.Skill ripjawsX 1600 MHz 8 Gb and a ram cooler.

the extra ram is not for just gaming but also memory intensive program like 3ds max , & photoshop & then video encoding & also audio ripping.

Save the money and stick to 8GB G Skill RipjawsX. Next time, please put all the relevant information such as system configuration, budget and purpose on the first post. If you want bling, you're better off wasting money on LEDs and stuff, but its your money and your wish.

FYI, Dominator platinum 2133MHz use Hynix. Its the higher ones from Corsair Dominator platinum and Avexir that are well-known great memory kits as they're higher binned Samsung ICs. But if you're not going to overclock and fine tune them, you're wasting the potential of the hardware and money just for bling.

if you read the thread from the first post the u would see i have given my spec. and what is the reason of the post is my current module is nbot sufficient so i need to upgrade it.

It will suffice anything you'll do on a PC. 8 GB is just fine for anything other than running 6-12 VM's simultaneously.

8 GB is fine for the tasks you have mentioned.

If you need heat spreader and want to overclock ram, get the cheapest one from kingston hyper x, corsair vengeance, ripjaws x, sniper etc.
Abd forget wbout mobo compatibility, asrock isnt gonna test all the modules in the world. Chance of an incompatible ram with right specs is very low.
Overclocking memory like cpu is luck of draw based. Get the bundle rams, they are manufactured in same batch and is the best bet for good overclock.

Go for the 8GB kit suggested by myth. Moreover, prices in the local market are way lower than flipkart. I got the same module (single stick 4GB) for Rs1400 from Nehru Place a few months back.

Id go for the one which offers best warranty dude.. Check service nearby, then decide

Avexir has some serious bling.
Get G.Skill. Difference of latencies or higher clocks over 1800 mhz hardly adds up to anything,but the money!
