Will it work?! Gigabyte EX58-UD5...

<< < (2/2)

*looks confused*

12GB works fine on that board. It's just that making larger overclocks stable becomes mroe difficult when all the slots are in use that's all....

If it were me, I'd buy 2x 3*2GB 1600Mhz RAM with a tight CAS latency. 1600Mhz is more than enough for overclocking (most kits reach ~1800mhz) and will be better value. Zbrush, Photoshop, CAD - these programs will use the RAM, but at the same time, your PC will appreciate the tighter RAM timings as well for speed ;)

Also, I think Gigabyte have a mistake in that PDF because I'm using OCZ 2000mhz's... Although, what they might mean is that you can't run 2000Mhz natively (you have to do a very minor tweak/overclock to make it run @ 2000mhz)

Thanks a lot bex i am a lot more clarified now, and thanks again for everyone that helped me on the subject.

best regards bernardo

hi again i have been checking which one i should get now that i know a bit more what i am after but still its quite hard to decide >D cause i don't want to waste money.

first i was thinking in 2k mems but since board didn't allow it i changed to 1800 but since i just need to add a little o.c to it so i can use them i am back to 2k mems.

so first i was thinking on OCZ REAPER DDR3 3X2GB 2000MHZ TRIPLE CHANNEL but it's CL 9-9-9-30 so no good,
i saw some new ones from ocz the OCZ DDR3 PC3-16000 Blade Series Low Voltage Triple Channel with CL 7-8-7-20 those seem very nice but now the point is will i get that much of performance comparing with maybe these ones G.SKILL DDR3 PC 16000 CL9 3GB/6GB kit with CL 9-9-9-24 which is a little better then the first one.

because in the price there is a difference and ain't that small >D.

thanks again guys!

As been said you will notice virtually no real world difference from 1333mhz - 2000mhz RAM

Badbonji:
Try 6Gb for now, you can always buy more if you need to down the road :P
As for real life performance, no you will not see a difference between the 2000Mhz and 1600Mhz sticks, as there is plenty of memory bandwitdh available and the main bottleneck would be the hard drive and cpu. I would save the money for two decent SSD's in raid which will be a bigger difference in performance than getting 2000Mhz ram over 1600.
