New DDR3 1866 or 2133

Dbiggs9 · Dec 21, 2011, 01:22 AM

Picking up some ram for my 2011 build.

G.Skill 1866 1.5v 9-10-9-28 ( i have 2x4 in my i7)
G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DD...

G.Skill 2133 1.65v 11-11-11-30
G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DD...

Only $10 more for the 2133 vs 1866. i dont know to much about timing but would the 1866 with cas of 9 be faster the 2133 @ 11? What would you pick and why!
This will go in a x79 Evga board with a I7 3920.

Just a though but you might check to see if either of those kits are on the qualified list of ram. It doesn't mean if it is not that it will not work, just that if one is and the other is not that the one that is has a better chance of working out of the box without any fuss.
