Hey there, Gamers, Crazy Overclockers! Swaggers! Extreme builders! And Man-Cavemasters!

A problem has emerged after an order on hardware, and I get the chance to change ram maybe it seemse.

The choice stand between these.

Ripjaws 4 2666 MHz vs Corsair Vengeance LPX 2666MHz.

And last, but least possiable "since it will be harder to acquire for them", 3000MHz Ripjaws 4, which my cpu has confirmed can run about "2750MHz" functional.
My computer originally had them put in "As a bonus", but an order mix up / problem got my ram switched over in another pc. By mistake - This is not the subject
however.

Which of the ram choices would be would you choose?

Price is no object cause I ain't gonna pay more for the mistake.

Ram/Memory choices:
Ripjaws 4 2666MHz:

That would be my choice. I've always used the G.Skill brand mainly for their awesome performance at a low price formula. The Ripjaws 4 is a perfect match for the Rampage V Extreme.

Both are great kits. Pick the one you think has the coolest heatspreader 😛

Say hi to the next generation.

Cosair Vengeance LPX 2666MHz: So faar these will be my choice due to the fact that Ripjaws 4 don't ship to Scandinavia because of bad sale.. Sadly the last pair was
mixed up into another order so I must suffienct with Corsair it seemse. Though they do look awesome and seemse awesome too 🙂

The DDR4-3000 kit offers a good chance of being able to run as DDR4-2666 with tighter timings.

Corsair kits tend to mount taller heatspreaders which can impose compatibility problems with bulky CPU coolers.

The LPX kit has tall heatspreaders? 😛
