Title: What memory for GA z68x-ud4-b3?
Post by: cartoonistas on September 06, 2011, 07:49:41 am

I am about to build a new system from scratch. The mainboard gigabyte z68x-ud4-b3,the cpu i7 2600k, so I am wondering what piece of ram should I buy. I am looking @ 2133 .
What about these

http://www.mushkin.com/Memory/Redline/996997.aspx (http://www.mushkin.com/Memory/Redline/996997.aspx)
and
http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=397&c1=&c2= (http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=397&c1=&c2=)

Should i go for 2133? Are these two models run smoothly for this combination?

Thanks in advance

Personally I favour the Mushkin. You really will not notice the difference when running everyday programs whether your memory is 1600 or 2133, it only really makes a difference when benchmarking.
