I'm looking to get a 32GB quad-channel kit for the X79 platform (still deciding which board).
I know that G.Skill recommends their Ripjaws Z for this platform. I had planned to go with this kit: F3-12800CL10Q-32GBZL
However, I am thinking of using a larger CPU cooler and was wondering if there are any similar kits with the new ARES heat spreader that might be just as compatible as the above Ripjaws Z kit.
How about this kit: F3-1600C10Q-32GAO
Is this recommended by G.Skill to use with the X79 quad channel platform?
I value compatibility over all else, so I will go with the Ripjaws Z if necessary, but if they are simply the same dimms with different heat spreaders, then I'd prefer the ARES.
Thank you for the help!
