I see DDR4 hyperx ram cheaper because of NON ecc, should i buy it for gaming?

Honey · Mar 18, 2017

hi, im using ripjaw4 ddr4 2133 ram (4x2) currently,
I want to increase it to 16gb ram..
I found hyper x ram rupees1000 cheaper than other stick, i guess it is because of NoN ECC ram, i want ram for gaming(according to my budget)
What is problem in buying NoN ECC ram?
Ecc ram is 1000rs expensive but same 2133mhz, what should i do?

Ecc RAM is server memory, unless you are running a server, you don't want this RAM for gaming and it's incompatible for most consumer systems....

Non ECC is the RAM you usually buy.

infrared · Mar 18, 2017

ECC ram won't even work on most consumer grade stuff so you need the non ecc memory. If you have a bit more budget you could always find faster DDR4, 2x8gb 2666mhz+ or something, it'll give some games a bit of a boost.
ECC stuff is designed for server applications to help prevent errors and data corruption

Ecc is used for servers its not compatible with desktop motherboards.

Thanks for reply bros,
Is it better than previous?
Corsair Vengeance LPX 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz (PC4-19200) C16 Memory Kit, Black
It have more mhz would it nice?

In simple word your Asus Z170 Pro Gaming don't support ECC memory so don't even think about it.

Kingston is known to work in 99% of all motherboards or that's at least my experience depending on Hyper, ValueRam and so on so u r clear to go HyperX if u want.

Yep, it's not going to be a big difference though, so if you're just a casual gamer I wouldn't worry too much about the speed too much

2400 will work nicely, although I'd recommend 2x 8gb sticks for 16gb instead of 4x 4gb sticks, that way you can upgrade to 32gb a couple of years down the line without replacing what you're about to buy.

Or cheaper option is just to get another 2x 4gb 2133mhz sticks. It'll work.. Edit - but with a gtx1070 you probably would benefit from slightly quicker stuff. The difference will be pretty marginal though.

one more important question,
is sdram same thing?
im getting this at good price, and also 2400mhz,

It's just DDR4, should be fine.

To be sure that your new RAM will run at it's rated speed, look in the supported motherboard memory QVL.

ECC tends to cost more, unless if your motherboard bios has a ECC setting like mine does, you don't want to waste time and money on it, there has been a report of ecc ram affecting game performance with lower frames and hiccups.

SDRAM means Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory, it is Synchronized because of its Clock rate of 1200 (Real Clock) 2400 (Relative Performance)

Thanks for reply bros,
I didnt understood, is it bad than earlier hyperx i mention at first? Isnt it gaming as 2133 hyperx?

eidairaman1 · Mar 18, 2017

I just seen you are mixing ram from 2 different companies. There is no guarantee they will work with each other. Best case scenario is that the faster modules will clock down to the slower modules, worst case is wasting money on something that doesn't work. Safest bet is to look at another kit of Gskill ripjaws unless you intend on pulling the ripjaws out completely.

You don't need or want ECC ram for gaming.
2133 is just its tranfer rate.

Im using gskill ripjaw 4 2133mhz, can i buy another rip jaw kit with 2400mhz?
Also please tell me what is sdram is bad than ddram?

peche · Mar 18, 2017

its highly recommended to get an identical set like the one you have, avoid errors, compatibility and also voltages.... for telling you a few errors...

DDR1, 2, 3, 4 is SDRAM, stop worrying about that. Yes you can get a ripjaws 2400 kit, just expect to run them all at 2133 until you understand all nuances of computers.

Thanksalot, i dont want to annoy anyone, yes im not knowledgeable like you guys,
Btw, im not overclocker will i be able to do some tweeks on that ram? Just wanting to sure for small future..

Honey... no tweak's for ram for you. Just run it. :]

Honey · Mar 18, 2017

I had overcloking ram few years ago, but i have forgot, is it xmp profile and timings right?
Yes i know it will run and stock clock, but my question, is overcloking possible? Or its not compatible.

EarthDog · Mar 18, 2017

It's possible.. but not worth the time and effort in most titles... get some ddr4 3000 sticks, set xmp, and enjoy.

Read your motherboard manual if you have one about setting XMP or DOCP/AMP, then set the memory to all 2133 and leave it at that.

By the way you are learning as you go, I did alot of reading when I started messing with computers 19 years ago.

bro, i got one problem, the RIPjaw which i was going to buy, its not available in COD, but HyperX is available in COD, (my card having problem) will different companies interact?
sorry i dont want to bother you..

There is no 100% guarantee they will work, that question I would definitely ask Kingston and GSkill about, perhaps the board maker too.

thanks to all guys, i think i need to put another thread for different topic..
