    Memory for Z87 sabertooth/i1-4770k?


    I can't seem to get the memory right for my update build (have changed my mind many times).
    What I want is;
    16gig DDR3 2x8 gig OR 4x4gig.
    I want to purchase from HERE.
    Budget $200 to $300 AUD

    Can I use 2400 or 2133mhz?
    Do not want to manual overclock (mess with Voltages Etc.)
    Want to use XMP.
    I am completely lost in determining what to use.
    Of course I want the fastest possible within my budget.
    Thank you in advance

    EDIT
    Looking at Gskill 2x8g 2400 will it run on my build?

    Brian check out this site the fellow running it is an absolute whiz with G Skill stuff at least and I am not slighting the others as we have some top class advisors here but I got onto to this bloke "Tradesman" when I was doing my Ivy Bridge and he was brilliant.

    Welcome to the G.SKILL TECH FORUM

    PS My main supplier too and depending on how much you want get the matched sets mate 2x8 is better than 4x4 in my own personal view.

    Get these

    Or as John says get 2 8`s now and add 2 more later, but that`s overkill, but hey if you can afford it

    Kodi I have these and am clocking them at 2400 and they are just the ducks innards
    G.Skill Ripjaws Z F3-2400C10D-8GZH 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 [GS-F3-2400C10D-8GZH] - $119.00 : PC Case Gear - 2x4GB cheaper too and I think you will find the ones you have picked are very tall and may interfere with whatever air cooler you have if you are going down that track. I know because I have some spares here that my son used in onre of his builds and it was a problem.

    Having said that I have this for cooling . Intel BXTS13X Liquid Cooled Thermal Solution [BXTS13X] - $99.00 : PC Case Gear - had a problem with the previous model but they replaced it with the above model and it is really good and I am clocking the CPU at 4.2

    Forgot this is the 4x set http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?...ducts_id=25081

    Motherboard arrives Friday.
    Using a Noctua NH-C12P cooler, have to send away for the free adapter from Noctua and it will take up to two weeks.
    Will have time to measure and check what ram will fit.
