Hello, I just registered to ask this because I will be building a new PC and I myself only bought ValueRAM in my previous computers but now I'm going to build something that's focused on gaming so I decided to check out high quality RAMs as well.
Here's what I got for MB+CPU -
Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3 Rev. 1.0
CPU: Intel i5 2500k 3.3GHz
And here are the RAMs I'm currently checking out (All 2x4GB) -
F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR
F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR2
F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR
First question, I couldn't find those specified models in Mainboard's Memory Support List so I'm a bit worried, are all of them "fully compatible" with my MB and CPU and works out of the box? (I will probably upgrade MB Bios if it's needed though) I only see the 8GBXL heavily promotes "Designed for 2nd Generation Intel Processors" but not that much on other models.
Second question, which one of 4 models I listed, performs the best regardless of price? (Please no other model that's not listed here) Is it the F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR one? Also with 8GBSR2 model, I notice the Test Voltage is only 1.25V, any advantages/disadvantages?
Also if I install Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus, will I be able to fit 8GBXL (Ripjaws X) with that CPU cooler installed?
Thanks!
