I'm building a rig with an AMD Phenom II X4 965 on an ASUS M4A79XTD mobo (at least that's the best bang for the buck I could match it up with). The mobo says it does DDR31800 (O.C.) with standard support for 1600. So my question comes in selecting the RAM. I came across two version of G.Skill Ripjaws memory:
Both were 2 GB sticks that were DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800). The differences were in the Cas latency, voltage, and timing. I'm not well versed in these things so I was hoping for some assistance. Here are the specs:
Cas Latency: 9, Voltage: 1.5v, Timing: 9-9-9-24-2N vs.
Cas Latency: 7, Voltage: 1.65v, Timing: 7-8-7-24-2N
I plan on using the computer mostly for encoding video and acting as a media server. My basic understanding is that lower numbers = quicker operation. Am I missing something else?
