What RAM to get

[beret21]

The Jedec standard for Ivy Bridge is 1600MHz, not max performance. They don't go by FSB anymore like they did back in the day.

As for the RAM being compatible with that board........that is one of the most popular Z77 boards around, find some GSkill or Corsair and it will be compatible.

I think there has been a disconnect somewhere so I will attempt to fix it.......Get the Corsair 16gb 1866MHz 9-10-9-27 kit for less than $100, you can decide whether you want it in blue or black.

The End

THnx for the update

Thanks KB I was looking at those and some Kingston but might just stick with the G Skill

If i am not wrong !
i5 3570K processor memory specs show that it can give max performance with 1600mhz DDR3 .. . . .
Any thing above that will work for sure but wont give the performance it is made for !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One period at the end of each sentence is plenty. :sarc:
