AMD Memory

[Modrick]

Hello Everyone,

I've decided to upgrade my PC with Gigabyte GA-F2A85X-UP4 and AMD A10-5800 APU that was reviewed by AnaandTech. I would also like to use same memory, AMD DDR3-1866. However I can only find DDR3-1333. Is it not out? Anyone know where I can buy it or recommand DDR-1866 RAM to go with?

Um, The Google?

Here are 263 options:

Newegg lets you sort by: brand, amount of RAM, user review, price, etc.

Microcenter has good prices too.

There are other online retailers too.

My recommendation?

This samsung:

Or one of the Gskills at newegg.

Corsair is excellent, Kingston, Micron/Crucial, Mushkin--all good.

Check out some reports on that samsung, which is what I use. I admire it for its purity: no heat sinks, no blinking lights, just performance. And the price is right.

Crucial Ballistix 1866MHz CAS9 is what I use and I would recommend it.

Both excellent.

Lol I didn't even know they made ones with LED light support

Some people also like Samsung low-voltage 1600Mhz CAS11 for oc'ability but the Ballistix 1866 CAS9 do well on both speed and latency and don't require days of memory stability testing.
