Started by andreashnida on May 30, 2024
The G.Skill Ripjaws V 3600MHz is actually a great choice for your i7-10700 CPU. It offers 32 GB capacity and a clock speed of 3600 MHz, which should provide ample memory for gaming and other tasks.
That's right. Additionally, the RAM has a latency of 10 ns (18-22-22-42 timings) which ensures efficient performance. I've used it with my i7-10700 CPU and have been very satisfied with its performance.
I've been using the G.Skill Ripjaws V with my i7-10700 for a while now, and I must say it's fantastic! The higher clock speed makes a huge difference in gaming, especially during fast-paced matches. Check out this TechReviewer article Best RAM for the Intel Core i7-10700 CPU for more details.
Thanks for the suggestions! But I'm still a bit unsure about whether DDR4 is the right choice or if I should consider DDR5? Can anyone provide some insight?
DDR5 RAM offers better performance in some instances compared to DDR4, but it's also more expensive. If you're looking for a balance between cost and performance, sticking with DDR4 like the G.Skill Ripjaws V 3600MHz is a good option.
I agree with @TrickHayes. If you don't mind spending extra money for the potential performance gains, then DDR5 might be worth it. However, if you're on a budget or want to stick with stock-speed RAM, DDR4 like the G.Skill Ripjaws V 3600MHz is a great choice.
Thanks for your input! I've been reading some reviews about Corsair RAM as well, and I'm curious if anyone has experience with it. Has anyone used the Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600 MHz or Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 2933 MHz with their i7-10700 CPU?
I've used the Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600 MHz with my i7-10700 CPU, and I was quite impressed with its performance. It has a clock speed of 3600 MHz and a latency of 10 ns (18-22-22-42 timings), which is similar to the G.Skill Ripjaws V 3600MHz.
As for the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 2933 MHz, I haven't personally used it with my i7-10700 CPU. However, from what I've read and heard from others, it's also a reliable option that offers good performance. It has a clock speed of 2933 MHz and a latency of 11 ns (CL16).
That's helpful to know! So based on your experiences, would you recommend the G.Skill Ripjaws V 3600MHz or Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600 MHz for my i7-10700 CPU? And is there any significant difference in performance between these two?
I've used both the G.Skill Ripjaws V 3600MHz and Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600MHz with my i7-10700 CPU, and I couldn't really tell much difference in performance. Both offered excellent performance and were reliable.
In my experience, the main differences between the two are their heatsinks and appearance. The G.Skill Ripjaws V has a more premium look to it, while the Corsair Vengeance LPX is more budget-friendly. As for performance, there's not much difference between them. Both should work well with your i7-10700 CPU.
Alright, that makes sense. I think I'll go ahead and order the G.Skill Ripjaws V 3600MHz RAM for my setup. Thanks everyone for your advice!
