    Advise on new memory

    Hello,

    Been looking in new memory lately since the current (bought as temporary) memory is bleh.
    Currently have 4x 4GB Corsair Vengeance PC12800 / 1600MHz (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B).

    MSI Z77A-GD65
    Intel I7-2600K

    What I am looking at:

    G.Skill RipjawsX F3-14900CL10D-16GBXL (2x8GB PC14900 / CAS10 / €88)
    G.Skill RipjawsZ F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH (4x4GB PC17000 / CAS9 / 1.65V / €135)
    GEIL Evo Veloce GEV316GB1866C10DC (2x8GB PC14900 / CAS10 / €113)
    GEIL Evo Corsa GOC316GB1866C9DC (2x8GB PC14900 / CAS9 / €115)
    Mushkin Blackline 997072 (?) (2x8GB PC14900 / CAS11 / €115)
    Patroit Viper 3 PV316G186C0K (2x8GB PC14900 / CAS10 / €125)

    Which brand should I avoid? And which should I consider most stable/best performance?

    What about the RipjawsX F3-14900CL10D?
    Can't find a difference between the rest of the PC14900 modules besides the CAS-latency. It is however more than €25,- cheaper than the rest, anyone knows a reason for that? Or is it fine memory? (Not just one shop with a discount/sale, prices above are the average of 8 shops)

    i don't think there are brand you should or shouldn't avoid.
    a lot of times they are all the same in the end just based on what you get

    imo i'd look into which one of those are the samsung hch9 ones, they are pretty clocker for next to nothing comes to price
