So... I am FINALLY putting together my new build that has an i7-3770K Ivy Bridge and an ASRock Z77 Extreme6... I am in need of some advice for 16gb or RAM. I checked the ASRock MB RAM support list and it doesn't give great options but I've read where people use G.Skill or Corsair and it runs fine... I am thinking these for those 2 brands:
G.Skill: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C9D-16GXM - Newegg.com
Corsair: CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Desktop Memory Model CMZ16GX3M2A1600C9 - Newegg.com
I'm going to be doing some mild overclocking but with the RAM I don't think going higher than 1600 is really needed... I could see maybe going with 1866 speeds but it doesn't seem that necessary. If you have some suggestions for 16gb of 1866 I'd be ok with listening. Thanks in advance for any help.
