Samsung Ram

Low profile,a lot of OC head room (i have heard of people getting it up to 2400) and a good price

2x4GB set (almost always out of stock on newegg but you should be able to get it from micro center site or store)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147096


4GB stick (i just grabbed 2 of these recently for a build im collecting parts for as the 2x4GB set is usually out of stock)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147094&Tpk=MV-3V4G3


and if you wanna see how the ram is you can read what others have posted about it here

Is there disadvantage at all to getting two separate sticks rather than the dual channel kit?

  • stubass
  • Want to go sub-zero and bench :)
no, no problems/disadavantages at all that i have ever seen...
tho i have not bought single sticks before, i have bought 2 x 8GB (2x4GB sticks) kits a few times for the same rig or 2 x 4GB(2x2GB sticks) kits in the past with no issues

sometimes i can be cheaper too to buy single sticks.. smile.gif
