bL1nd3R · Jul 10, 2014

Hi, I have a FX-6300 on a ASRock 970 PRO3 R2.0.
What RAM should I buy?
PLS search for RAM on this site http://www.pcgarage.ro/memorii/.
I want 2 sticks each of 4gb. So 8 gb in dual channel.
Thanks in advance.

1600mhz with lower timings or 1866mhz with higher, your choice if you think you are able to oc to 1866mhz.

Consider these Gskill Ripjaws if the price is good?

Hello,

Here is perhaps the cheapest option available with 8GB (2x 4GB) 1600MHz CL9

You looking for performance ram for overclocking and benchmarking or just typical usage ram.
Here's the cheapest 1600mhz 9-9-9-24 ram from a reliable brand: http://www.pcgarage.ro/memorii/crucial/ballistix-sport-8gb-ddr3-1600mhz-cl9-dual-channel-kit-1/
For OCing I would go either with this: http://www.pcgarage.ro/memorii/mushkin/8gb-ddr3-1600mhz-cl7-radioactive-frostbyte-dual-channel-kit/
or this: http://www.pcgarage.ro/memorii/cruc...-pc3-14900-cl9-15v-kit-4gbx2-ballistix-elite/

I had the last kit for 1 and a half months to play with and it was awesome. Clocked to 2000 8-9-8-25 on 1.65V however I couldn't get them above that no matter how much I raised voltage or loosened timings. But FX X3XX chips aren't know for highspeed IMCs and prefer low timings which this kit has.

I'm not looking to overclock that much, i just want the ram for gaming.
