  • Memory Performance & Size Questions

    Hello:

    I am having a problem deciding which memory modules to purchase for my new motherboard [Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3] and CPU [AMD Phenom II X6 1075T 3.0GHz (3.5GHz Turbo)]. I do not intend to overclock my system, except for the Turbo mode that the processor uses automatically. So, to my questions:

    I would like to purchase 8GB (2x4BG) of PC3-12800 1.5v - most of the modules are 9-9-9-24 but there is one that is 8-8-8-24. Will this make any difference in the performance?

    Regarding this RipjawsX series, can you please give me the height dimensions? I am also trying to find a cooler for the CPU that will fit over the memory modules.

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Regards,

    Yes, there is a slight performance gain. The lower the latency the better.

    RipJaws X are 40mm tall. Most CPU coolers can clear this. 2-3mm will fall into the slot.

    Thank you
