Top 10 Best RAM for Gaming in 2022

Kingston HyperX Fury 1600

Specifications:

Marca: HyperX

Model: HX316C10F/4

Color blue

Dimensions: 13,3 x 3,3 x 0,7 cm

Weight: 49.9g

DDR: 3

Frequency: 1,600MHz

Sizes: 4GB and 8GB

Dissipator: Yes.

Additional: You can choose color

Well, we start with a recommended DDR3 RAM for gaming. It is available in two possible capacities, 4GB and 8GB.

They are extraordinarily cheap, we will notice a price difference between DDR3 and DDR4 later, but in the first cases, they are worth all pockets.

If you are in a hurry and need to increase your RAM memory or replace a burnt one, this will be perfect.

Your operating system will still gobble up the same amount of your memory, but now you’ll get a noticeable performance boost for many applications.

Things to keep in mind:

Depending on the brand of this Kingston HyperX FURY RAM, you can buy them in kits of two cards, but it is not possible to do that from Amazon, although you can perfectly increase your RAM with 8 or 16 GB by buying a pair of 4 or 8.

To take advantage of the performance increase by inserting them into add-on modules without spending a fortune. Although the 8GB version is almost double the price of the 4GB version, it is still one of the most affordable options for RAM for gaming PCs.

Corsair Value Select

Specifications:

Brand: Corsair

Model: CMV4GX4M1A2133C15

Colour: Black

Dimensions: 15,5 x 7,6 x 1,3 cm

Weight: 45.4g

DDR: 4

Frequency: 2133MHz

Sizes: 8 and 16 GB

Heatsink: No. That which looks like a heatsink is a sticker

If you know the battles in forums discussing whether AMD or nVidia, or PS4 or XBox or Switch, or Real Madrid or NY, in the case of RAMs there is the Kingston vs. Corsair rivalry.

They are the two most recognized brands internationally and the arguments tend to be over minutiae that connoisseurs with big budgets tend to worry about.

We are facing a competent RAM from a great brand, although the Value Select imply a medium-low range. If you don’t need a speed, this RAM is fantastic DDR4.

Things to keep in mind:

Do not be too scared by the absence of heatsinks in the memories you have or buy, because they do not usually get as hot as other components.

The CPU and the GPU could burn out with their heat control systems, while the RAMs continue to do their thing without problems.

Even with everything, this Corsair Value Select RAM presents a good price for a DDR4 with the possibility of choosing 4, 8 or 16 GB. Perfect for tight budgets and common computers or designed to play. The 8 GB version is cheaper than 2 of 4 GB, ideal to buy 2 of 8 GB to reach 16 GB of RAM.

Kingston Fury Beast

Specifications:

Marca: Kingston

Model: HX318C10FW/8

Colour: Black

Dimensions: 13.34 x 3.4 x 0.71 cm

Weight: 36.05 grams

Series: ‎Memoria Kingston FURY Beast DDR4

Sizes: 8GB 2*16

We bring you a RAM Memory with a most elegant and striking matte black design, which includes a heat sink with a very wonderful design that we guarantee will be your best purchase choice, at an economical and affordable price for you.

This RAM includes a high-performance update that will undoubtedly be very profitable, and will be the best choice for those who are looking to build their own PCS, their own operating system or for those who want to update the system of something.

But again, you don’t need a massive investment in frequency if you’re going to use your PC for spreadsheets, internet videos, or the best graphics game on the market.

Things to keep in mind:

This wonderful RAM Kingston Fury Beast is compatible with Intel XMP, they affirm that their engineers have predefined all the profiles of all Intel Extreme memories, which are designed to be able to give the maximum possible performance of our memory module, and can reach a speed up to 37233MHZ¹.

Which is also compatible with AMD Ryzen, so we can enjoy a memory fully compatible with Ryzen, being able to integrate perfectly with our AMD system, it increases the performance of our PC, being the most reliable and fully compatible. And, last but not least, its functionality with Plug N Play Overclocking, which is totally automatic, reaching up to MHz¹, and for this we will only have to update and don’t worry because it will be the fastest and safe securable, after doing this, it will automatically accelerate, to the speed that can be allowed by the system BIOS.

Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro

Specifications:

Brand: Corsair

Model: ‎CMH32GX4M2D3600C18

Series: VENGEANCE RGB PRO SL

Colour: Black

Dimensions: 13,4 x 0,1 x 3,1 cm

Weight: 124 grams

DDR: 4

Sizes: ‎32GB

We bring you another Corsair brand RAM, the Vengeance RGB SL DDR4, which is characterized by its great RGB illuminated design that gives our RAM a more striking touch, with a GB touch.

With a compact and ideal size of only 44 mm high, so that in this way we have greater compatibility for our CPU heatsinks.

And in addition, each of its modules has ten RGB LEDs that are individually controlled so that their lighting is better and brighter.

Things to keep in mind:

We can control the Corsair ICUE software and customize it to our liking with lighting in each of its modules so that in this way we can adapt to our system, and we can also configure our own lighting profiles to be able to put them completely to our liking in pure style.

And it also includes a printed board, which is designed to the right extent that will give us incredible signal quality and so that AMD and Intel DDR4 motherboards have greater stability.

At the same time as its latest generation chips that are specially made to select the maximum process of overclocking. And indeed, this memory is the most ideal for those hard 3D animation jobs that are difficult to run or our most consuming video games, whatever you need, with this incredible RAM, you can play it.

G.Skill Ripjaws V Series

Specifications:

Brand: G. Skill

Model: 202702

Red color

Dimensions: 13,7 x 1,4 x 0,4 cm

Weight: 99.8g

DDR: 4

Frequency: 2400MHz

Sizes: 8 and 16 GB

Dissipator: Yes.

Additional: 8GB in 2 x 4GB kits and 16GB in 2 x 8GB kits

A RAM that has in its 16GB version the lowest price possible for motherboards with DDR4.

If you need to greatly expand your computer to get the peace of mind that you won’t fall short in the next 5 years of new games and you also need RAM to edit videos for YouTube, without being too heavy, it’s perfect.

As you have already seen, RAM manufacturers are very sure of the qualities they offer in their products and this brand also has a lifetime guarantee.

Things to keep in mind:

Like some disk hard drives, they are components that will outlive our PC.

Although it has an 8GB version for purchase, I recommend deciding on this if we choose to increase our RAM by 16GB.

G.Skill Ripjaws V Series price is lower than the rest of our list, so if you need to reach these numbers, for whatever reason, this is your new RAM. But remember, DRR4.

HyperX Fury

Specifications:

Marca: HyperX

Model: ‎ HX426C16FB3/8

Colour: Black

Dimensions: ‎33.02 x 11.43 x 0.25 cm

Weight: 59 grams

DDR: 3

And again, another Kingston HyperX Fury. This time the DDR3 version, a good brand capable of withstanding what they throw at it, without problems will be able to survive most of the components that the PC has inside.

With the certainty that it has a lifetime guarantee.

This HyperX Fury DDR4 RAM memory comes with the heatsink that we have already seen in the Fury, but, unfortunately, it does not come with its color selection, nor even the option to choose the number of RAMs in kits.

Things to keep in mind: We have made an interesting leap in clock speed and they are RAMs with considerable memory capacity and continue to maintain the price/byte ratio of DDR4.

G.SKILL F3

Specifications:

Brand: G. Skill

Model: ‎F3-1600C9D-16GXM

Color blue

Dimensions: 14 x 4 x 1 cm

Weight: 118g

DDR: 3

Frequency: 1600MHz

Sizes: 8GB

Dissipator: Yes.

Additional: 8GB in 2 x 4GB kits

Again other G.Skill from the series of the previous one, but with an interesting subject, one of the highest speeds of the DDR3 series in its clock frequency.

While only above the DDR4 minimum, the DDR3 minimum is well under half of it.

It is one of the highest speeds that a DDR3 compatible motherboard has and at a very competent price.

If we said that the previous RAM was ideal for 16GB increases on your board with DDR4 modules, this is the best price for 8GB increases on DDR3 boards.

If your motherboard does not reach those speeds, it does not matter, the RAMs will work at a lower speed without problem.

The maximum speed of your computer is equal to the speed of your slowest component. But with this RAM you make sure it won’t be her.

Things to keep in mind:

If your board supports those speeds, you will be able to use design programs somewhat discreetly, if you need your computer to behave like a beast the weights of those programs, you should upgrade your computer to DDR4. And as you know, lifetime warranty, very long life and those things that all RAMs share.

Corsair Vengeance 8GB

Specifications:

Brand: Corsair

Model: CML8GX3M1A1600C10

Series: ‎8GB 1600MHz CL10 DDR3

Colour: Black

Dimensions: ‎15.24 x 1.6 x 7.62 cm

Weight: 45 grams

Here we have a series of somewhat confusing half options to start with, but it presents us with the maximum speed of most motherboards compatible with DDR3 and 4 RAM modules at a very attractive price, 32 GB with 4 x 8GB if we choose it in blue and 1,600MHz.

If we need to expand our RAM to those amounts because we need to process large amounts of information, if we have a CPU capable of it, this option will save us headaches simply because of the raw amount of RAM we have.

Although its speed is somewhat low, if we want to increase it by 10% the price shoots up more than 30%, so, as a recommendation, stay with the 1600MHz version. If you plan to use RAM to accompany you in your games, 16GB is excessive for any game.

Things to keep in mind:

None to date, except for some experimental or rare, asks so much for the recommended specifications, that is, everything at ultra.

While the options are great, its slow speed and high memory capacity might not suit almost any buyer, but if you find that you need 16GB of RAM, this is your best option.

Corsair Vengeance LPX

Specifications:

Brand: Corsair

Model: CMK32GX4M4C3000C15

Colour: Black

Dimensions: 13,5 x 3,3 x 6,9 cm

Weight: 177g

DDR: 4

Frequency: 2133 MHz – 4266MHz depending on the model.

Sizes: 4, 8, 16GB

Dissipator: Yes.

Additional: Great variety of possibilities to choose from. And 2 colors

This is the Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM you’ll need if you’re looking for speed.

With a very large selection of possible kit and speed combinations, with its most expensive option falling to the 64GB of 4 x 16GB RAM at 3000MHz being the highest capacity.

Instead, the fastest, reaches 4266MHz maximum speed, but allowing only 16GB of RAM.

Although that speed has certain problems, because many systems are not compatible, other pieces of hardware are not compatible either and I recommend that for intensive use of the computer, the 3000-3200MHz are more than enough.

But if you’re into this, I guess you already knew that.

Things to keep in mind:

A recommended option, balanced and not insanely expensive, is the 4 x 8GB version at 3200 MHz that outperforms the same capacity but at 3000 MHz by more than 7% performance at less than 5% additional cost. Even allowing high performance options, the most discreet versions of this RAM are quite cheap, resembling the rest of the list with a little more price, with the addition that if you want to put them in your tower with a window, you have quite an intimidating finish.

Corsair Dominator Platinum

Specifications:

Brand: Corsair

Model: CMD32GX4M2B3000C15

Colour: Black

Dimensions: 16,5 x 16 x 1,7 cm

Weight: 159g

DDR: 4

Frequency: 2133 MHz – 3200MHz depending on the model.

Sizes: 4, 8, 16GB

Dissipator: Yes

Additional: Great variety of possibilities to choose from white LEDs

Other monsters designed for high-performance computers and to get the most out of design and editing programs.

If you need to render at 4k the 64GB version of the 4 x 16GB at 3000MHz is 20% cheaper than the same RAM option above on this list.

And there is the possibility of acquiring that amount of RAM at 3200 MHz.

This is the option I would choose for a demanding work computer, and although it has many other options, less speed and capacity.

The Corsair Dominator Platinum price is very high compared to others on this list without offering anything additional, except for a heatsink with a spoiler and perhaps with excessive size.

Things to keep in mind:

If you don’t need that many GB but you have your eye on those speeds, you can always buy RAMs of different sizes in pairs and same speeds.

For example, you can buy the 32GB of 2 x 16GB at 3000MHz at a great price and add another 16 GB of 2x 8GB at 3000MHz from the previous product on this list.

Doing the same thing with only these RAMs or only with the previous ones is more expensive than this combination.
