CPU/Mobo Intel B75 + Pentium G2030 + RAM--> 1333 0r 1600?

[serpent_rider]

I am planning to purchase the following combo but i am not sure which RAM will work with these.

Mobo - Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H
CPU - Intel 3 GHz LGA 1155 G2030

RAM - here i have 2 options.
1. Transcend 4GB DDR3 (JM1333KLH-4G)
2. Transcend 4GB DDR3 (JM1600KLN-4G)

I don't know whether 1600 RAM will work with above combo. Intel website says that RAM supported is 1333 on G2030 but on Gigabyte website it says that this mobo supports 1600 RAM provided the CPU is ivy bridge or 22nm which G2030 is.

So i am not sure about the RAM compatibility. If someone is using the above combo then let mo know your experience.

I have the same cpu/mobo combo with 1600mhz gskill ripjaws, they get underclocked to 1333 cause the cpu does not support 1600mhz. Get the 1600 if you plan to upgrade to a better cpu later on.

If the difference is not much, get 1600, however check the latency at 1333. If both have the same ratings at 1333, then the cheaper is the better.

I dont forsee a long term benefit since PDC is usually good enough for most office stuff.

Great. I was bit apprehensive before committing myself.

Yes. There is not much difference in price therefore i want to purchase the 1600 but i'll check the latency.
Thanks

As proved multiple times, there are test done where 1333 or 1866+ have little to no real world performance. Unless you're benching you'll find very little difference. But do get 1600 if the price difference is not too much
