Discussing the issue of overclocking 6600k RAM
I have a query about overclocking.
My system specs are
i5 6600k
Z170A MSI Krait Gaming 3X
Cryorig H7.
I want to know what RAM would make it easier to overclock my CPU. Would it be
G.SKILL 8GB NT Series 288-Pin DDR4 PC4-19200 2400MHz or
Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200)?
Additionally, one more question: can I buy one 8GB RAM at a time with the same model and timing? Would it function as dual channel or quad channel? Or does it need to be two 4GB modules for dual channel?
Thank you!
It's best to purchase all the DRAM you require in one package. There are no assurances when combining different DRAM sets. For OCing the CPU, it doesn't depend on the DRAM type; either set would work, compare prices, and often you can find 2666 or even 2800 units for a similar cost as 2400.
