Need ram recommendation

[nlam]

Just picked up an asus vii hero z97 motherboard. Will be putting in a 4790k. Looking for 16gb ram recommendation. Planned to OC to 4.6-4.8ghz. Which ram do you guys recommend to go with this combo?

I'd suggest this ram

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231619

it's fairly cheap at 160 shipped and it's 2133 1.5v ram cas 11

another option is
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231615

it's 150 shipped but it's 1866 1.5v ram cas 9

If I were shopping for high quality memory, I would use the following parameters as a guide...

* DDR3 rated at 1.5v or lower
* DDR3 rated at the lowest CAS I could afford
* DDR3 rated at the highest clock speed I could afford
* Limit the scope of my purchase to G.Skill, Mushkin, Samsung, Corsair XMS or Crucial (non-Ballistix)

While not wavering on the voltage point, I would balance the other issues with my budget.

Remember, my goal is not pure "benchmarking" performance, but simply finding the highest quality memory I can afford. ^_^

The only reason I pay a premium for low latency, high speed, low voltage memory is...
Quality and quality alone.

1.5v is the JEDEC DDR3 voltage standard.
Stay with 1.5v or less if you can afford it..
