Should i get this for asus maximus vii hero + intel i7 4790k? or better a 2400mhz?

The specs of the motherboard you have (ASUS Maximus VII Hero) say that from 1800 Mhz, you'll have to overclock. If you don't plan to overclock, I say that this RAM at 1600 Mhz is great.

Get whatever's validated by Asus to use on the board. If you can afford 2400 and don't mind the marginal performance difference over 1600 (do you really need 2400?), then get 2400. I'm just fine with 1600 until I upgrade my system to a new socket and ddr4.

This memory looks great, is very stable, and personally I love the stuff. For gaming, this set is more than enough, but if you plan do to content creation, then go with the 2400MHZ.

the software included with the motherboard has utility to update your bios by itself, just open it up it will scan to find the bios you need for the newest update.I have the 4790k as well, runs great. what was your issue with the chip if you don't mind me asking?

I didn't try my i7-4770K on this machine. The ASUS spec. said it will support this i7-4770K and I checked the pins can fit into this MB. However, you might want to consider to use i7-3770 or (K) CPU instead since this MB is built with Intel Z77 Chip-set. And, i7-4770K should be best paired with Intel Z87 Chip-set to maximize the benefits of the new gen-4 i7 CPU. Another consideration is that this MB has 16GB RAM limitation due to its two-sockets for RAM. So, the i7-4770K CPU might be a bit wasted on this small MB in my opionion. For me, I use my i7-4770K CPU on my other ASUS Z87-A MB with 32GB RAM (DDR 2400) set-up. It was flying fast with many VMs for my purpose. Best luck and have fun.

according to the MSI website you should be good.. http://us.msi.com/support/mb/760GMP23_FX.html#support-cpu

It goes very well very good mother is the maximus V, While You Might be better with better memoriesCorsair Dominator Platinum 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 2400 MHz (PC3-19200) Desktop Memory CMD32GX3M4A2400C10

Discard my first answer, It does not support the speed 2400MHz but it will still run at 1866MHz which is still very fast but, if you need the 2400MHz then you should definitely find a different board, cause this one is not the one you want, other wise get 1866MHz ram you can go with corsair they are a fine brand, I have corsair ram in my system and I have had 0 problems.

I have no experience with that cpu. I'm running the intel 4770 k at 4.2 ghz I have it looped through an asus maximus iv formula mobo so it's pushing twice the route that it is designed for. benchmark is 984 at 86 degress Celsius. I think the only better option is the koolance stand alone unit but it's pricey

Thanks a lot for your response Askal, I have a core i7 2.98 Ghz with 4 GB RAM I will get the unit.

Your Intel Motherboard is a P67 which was one of the first Sandy Bridge (17-2600K) boards out. You will need to check with Intel and their QVL (Qualified Vendors List) as far as what CPUs will work with that board. Some P67 boards will work with it (The 3770K is an Ivy Bridge) if they have a BIOS update to accommodate them and some won't. Most (not all Z68's and forward will). Sorry I misunderstood your question. I thought you were asking about the 4790K.

Yes. And keep the timing tight thats where you get the performance. I run a Maximus vi hero Intel 4770k, Kingston 2400Hz and time it down to 1866Hz. Best memory sticks I ever had so far

It is...but when I set my mobo's configuration for 2400 MHz RAM, it failed...It defaulted to 1333 MHz, barely half of what is claimed.

4790 by slightly, it would more so depend on your gpu and ram. It's comes down to additional price vs slight performance increase.

Use OC profile 1 at your bios... it will automatically configure to use 2400 MHz Ram speed..

Yes, but you need the newest Bios Revision. (F9)http://www.gigabyte.us/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4487I recently upgraded to the 4790K and have had no issues.

Assuming you are trying to ask if the i7-4790K is compatible with this board, then yes, as the 4790K is a S1150 chip. http://ark.intel.com/m/products/80807/Intel-Core-i7-4790K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_40-GHz#@product/specifications

but you going to find problems on this CPU with the RAM (all x79 MB have this problems with the RAM) , get 4930K will work OK with the RAM :)

I would check Gigabyte's website or ask it on Tom's Hardware forum. They know everything!
