If your build can take DDR4 you can pick up Corsair Vengeance 2100-2400Mhz RAM for about £5-10 more, this isn't bad for people currently stuck on 1150 socket PCs tho

Out of curiosity, why do you think people are stuck on LGA 1150?
I built three 1150 systems this year for my sons and myself although each time I could've done with Skylake.

you don't need it but you will be the alpha nerd... RAM capacity is what cars are to douches, penile extensions... :stuck_out_tongue:

long shot asking this on here, but I have 16gb of hyperx beast 2400mhz, will it function properly if I get 2 of these or am I best to get the same as what I already have? or same frequency at least?

RAM generally adopts the speed of the lowest speed stick in the configuration. There can be incompatibility issues between RAM sticks. I would think this RAM will work with your existing RAM.

The speed will drop for the 2400mhz units to 1866 (though I doubt you'd even notice any real change). These will be fine working in conjunction with what you have now, talking channel support, assuming you're running two sets of dual channel it shouldn't be an issue at all, if however your board supports quad channel and you wanted to use that I'd go for the same. Though again were talking about probably tiny percentage increases. Hope this helps
Cracking deal

just stick to same make/model, or get 4 of these and sell your current ram, thats what i did (only i bought 2 not 4)

Same frequency at least. Your motherboard should accept this ram but will run all modules at the lowest ram frequency which will be this 1866mhz.
Will you notice the difference? Depends what you are running. If you are running integrated graphics then you may see a difference, or if you have overclocked your system.
That's my opinion of course. Others will have their thoughts on this.

Thanks for replying it is a 4790k i7 oc to 4.7ghz, gtx970, gigabyte z97x gaming 7 mobo, so yeah probably better off getting the same as what I've already got

Heat. I'd already spotted this on Amazon. :man:

I cant find a single game on Steam that recommends 16GB let alone the fact that most of them work with 4GB. People who edit 4k video or heavy 3D work are the ones where the extra 8GB doesnt sit there totally redundent.
