Hi all
what kind of Corsair ram is recommended for the Rampage black edition , I am going to use 4930K CPU and I have a Asus 680 top video card so far, I will go quad channel but I am not shore if I go low cas like 1600 hz or go for 2400 type or even 1866 can any one shine some light of help ? Thank you

I use gskill ripjawsZ series 2133 works great no problems at all..

From corsair I would get a single quad channel Platinum kit.

Choosing a frequency is sometimes also complicated a bit by the timings of the RAM. There is a formula that can help you in deciding if one kit is faster than the other when the timings are taken into account.

(CAS/frequency) x 2000 gives you a number in nanoseconds for comparing speeds.

Say you see a 1600 kit at 7-8-7-20 and a 1866 kit at 9-10-9-28 which is faster?

Well 7/1600 x 2000 = 8.75 nanoseconds; 9/1866 x 2000 = 9.646 so the 1600 kit actually looks quicker.

1st question should be, what are you going to use this system for? gaming mostly? editing a lot? a mix of the two?

I HAVE THE BOARD ALREADY but I am waiting to buy some good ram in the past I had trouble with Corsair ram and it was replaced but still what a hassel working that out any way would be good to know how the build goes?
I am still using my Rampage 3 Extreme board O/C from 3.07 to 3.9 very stable for 3 years now but as usual ram is alway letting me down

The RipjawsZ is the perfect match for the Rampage IV Extreme Black. I've never seen any problems of incompatibility or conflicts with those two.
