Trying to decide between a couple RAM choices for my 2600k.

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231473
(Easy 4 sticks with good price, but higher timings)

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB x2
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231468
(Again cheap price but higher timings, lower voltage however)

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB x2
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231476
(A little more but lower timings and unfortunately blue)

Mushkin Enhanced Redline 8GB x2
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226200

I have never used Mushkin or G.Skill before, as I always got Corsair in the past. Any suggestions or opinions on the brands and timings? I mention it but price isn't really an issue.

If it were up to me, then I would choose the $109 kit of Ripjaws X (the blue ones) because of the tighter timings.

(the 1.65V isn't much of an issue)

I would get the second one out of all those. Low voltage is the winner, higher frequency can make a little difference, but to be honest it's not really noticable only in benching. Have a little read at the sticky in the memory section, there should be three article explaining memory scaling on SB.

i've only personally seen F3-17000CL9D-8GBXM.. can do 2200MHz without changing timing.. so i recommend that.. but i think the mushkin should be very similar

I have these guys in the 2x2 flavor and they have been rock solid since SB came out, but they do not like any tighter timings at 2133.

Go for the Cheapest one u wont notice the difference between the Timings

Thanks for the opinions guys! Think I'm going to go with those blue ripjaws.

the first two sets are the same IC's ..one is 16 gb the other 8gb<=i have this kit and i'm happy with it, will do CL10 1.575v (24/7),if you don't mind paying few extra bucks get the blue kit
(better OC potential )
