Kingston HyperX Savage 1600 vs Fury 1866

chris0 · 05 Jun 2015

Im planning to buy 2x 4gb memory modules but im doubting between the Kingston HyperX Savage ddr3 1600mhz or the Kingston HyperX Fury ddr3 1866mhz, which one is better to take? my cpu is Intel i5 4460 and my motherboard: MSI H97 Gaming 3, maybe this helps in the decision too, I hope someone can help me.

Thanks,
Chris

Here you can find a quick review for those Kingston HyperX Savage 1866MHz & Kingston HyperX Savage 1600MHz

But i quickly looked at your MSI H97 Gaming 3 motherboard specs and i didn't saw support for 1866MHz, looks max is 1600 MHz

You can find the list of supported memory for your motherboard, here:
Support For H97 GAMING 3

If you're not overclocking your CPU you won't get any advantage from anything over 1600MHz anyway.

With that board and cpu, I`d just get the 1600 MHz.
