Heya guys!
So I'm planning to do a new build soon and I wouldn't be me if I wasn't looking for awfully specific hardware to go in it. Long story short; It's going to be an ITX build, so the motherboard will have 2 RAM slots, I want 16GB of RAM at 2133MHz or higher and the colour scheme is black and white.
It'd be awesome if the heatspreaders were white, but this is not a necessity, black is alright too. It's okay if it's a white/black heatspreader with a coloured sticker on it, cause I can just design my own sticker and put that over it. As long as it is not the heatspreader itself that is coloured cause I don't want to have to take them off to mod and accidentally pull a chip off the module.
So far I've been looking at the Kingston HyperX Beast series, but they do have a green PCB which kinda puts me off. Same for the Mushkin Blackline ones. I've also had a look at the grey Vengeance Pro, but I'm wondering how easy it is to take the top bit off the heatspreader so I could paint that white. The yellow sticker could probably easily be taken care of too.
The G.Skill Ripjaws X are all black with blue-ish stickers, so they would be a nice option, however they're not too cheap:
Patriot Viper RAM looks dead sexy, but they're only really available at one shop here in the Netherlands and they ask a stupidly high price of €220+ where all the other RAM I've mentioned so far tops out at €155 which is also around my max budget.
On Caseking.de I also spotted the GeIL EVO Potenza White Series DDR3-2400, CL11 - 16 GB Kit and Team Group Xtreem Series White, DDR3-2400, CL10 - 16 GB Kit but I'm not too sure about the brands. Anyone has experience with them? They do look pretty sexy:
TL;DR
Looking for a 2x8GB kit of 2133MHz or higher with a budget of €150,-
No coloured heatspreaders, just black or white. Sticker mods will be okay, heatspreader mods are a no-no. Vengeance Pro mod will be considered. Height doesn't matter as I'll be getting an H60 2013 Edition.
Your input guys?
Thanks in advance
