ASUS Crosshair V Formula's QVL= Qualified Vendor List
Hi again guys,
I am going to get the Crosshair V Formula motherboard and the FX 8350 next week but the rams I could get are the following (these are the available kits in my nearest hardware store)
Which ones should I get? I want 16GB of ram for rendering and 3D editing.
CORSAIR 16GB(2x8GB) Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz CL10 Dual Kit Ram = CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10
GSKILL 16GB (2x8GB) RipjawsX DDR3 1600MHz CL9 Dual Kit Ram = F3-1600C9D-16GXM
GSKILL 16GB(2x8GB) RipjawsX DDR3 1866MHz CL10 1,5V Dual Kit Ram = F3-14900CL10D-16GBXL
Also, these ram kits are not listed in Qualified Vendor List in ASUS's Crosshair V Formula motherboad. Would I have any problems installing the above mentioned ram kits?
Thank you.
PS. Should I really worry about CL9 vs. CL10.

Don't tell me no one has a clue. :))

Ignore the QVL.
As for the choice - personally, I don't think it matters. It all becomes much the same, CL9 vs CL10 etc. Typically, the higher the MHz, the higher the timings (i.e. CL). Ideally you want high MHz, low CL, but you end up with a compromise somewhere down the line.
It wouldn't shock me if the two GSkill sets are identical but with different labels stuck on them.
