Best Ram for £40-45?

[Kenjiin]

Hiya

Looking for 8GB of DDR3 for my new build. I don't know a whole lot about Ram in terms of speeds and stuff. Just looking for the best set of 2x4gb for around £40-45.

Any suggestions?

Samsung green are cheap now and a great little kit, really low profile.

Agreed the Samsung are the way to go, and will at the correct settings out perform ALL other decent priced memory

I have the Kingston Hyper X, usually when I try to set them to tighter speeds my pc becomes unstable.
Would it be worth me changing to theses? Would it make much difference for gaming?
I have a i5 2500k at stock (not worked out how to get a stable overclock yet cos am a newb)

Samsung green at 10 10 10 28 1T 1.5v 2133MHz

Ran some Super PI at the above timings and looks stable, but needs more testing and tweaking.

It's just so easy to get this memory to great speeds for the price you pay for it. Buy this memory, you'll be more than happy you did.

Ordered the Samsung Green earlier Wanted something that looked a bit more flashy But can't ignore all you're recommendations ^_^b

Just installed it and I'm @ 9,10,10,24,1T 2140MHz 1.555v

the strange MHz is down to running @ 100.3 bus speed not 100

I failed to boot @ 2400 but I may try later Maxmem2 gave a

Memory copy of: 22924 MByte/sec
and
Memory Read of: 23606 MByte/sec
and
Memory Write of: 19412 MByte/sec

and a latency of: 49.2

I'm chuffed to bits

As much as I wish I did, I have no idea what you just said.

I have a lot to learn
