Memory modules for Msi Big Bang trinergy

[slithor]

Hey forum,
i want to buy some memory modules for my trinergy mobo because the ones i had earlier also proved to be incompatible. I would like to ask you if there are any memory modules besides the ones recommended from the MSI site concerning my mobo. I am looking for a 2x2 gb ram kit with a heat dispenser so it can work around 1600mHz. Thank you in advance 

P.S Is the list on the site the only one? i mean are there any updated versions of it with more high end memory modules tested?

Ideally you would provide us with your fullsystem specs first >>Posting Guide<<
From a memory perspective, the reason these modules have heatspreaders is mostly due to marketing and to impress the potential buyers. The secondary reason is that most manufacturers sell you overvolted and overclocked 1066 or 1333 chips on a 1600 marketed module that needs 1,65V instead of the standard 1,5V. Your memory controller is part of the CPU and natively only supports 1333 at 1,5V.
If you really insist, then at least get yourself a 1600 kit that does this speed at 1,5V. One of the modules that seem to work well are the CMZ4GX3M2A1600C9 from Corsair. From a user perspective, the mem modules from Crucial that you see in my signature come highly recommended as they have been proven to work on the P55 platform whenever used.

My system is consisted of :
Cpu : intel i5@2.66
mobo msi big bang trinergy 1156 socket chipset: Intel? P55+Nvidia? NF200
ram: Corsair XMS 4GB DDR3-1600 Intel Core i5/i7 Ram Kit (2 x 2GB, PC3-12800, 9-9-9-24, CMX4GXM2A1600C9)
vga: MSI Nvidia 560 ti Twin Frzn , mem 1024Mb
HDD : Seagate  ST3500413AS 500GB HDD 3.5" (16MB Cache, 7200RPM, Sata 6Gb/s)
O.S : Win7 64 bit

PSU : Coolermaster GX550
DC Output +3,3V - 24A
DC Output +5V  - 24A
DC Output +12V1 - 44A
output 500W

As far as the corsair brand is concerned since my rams failed i tried the rams of a friend which were the Corsair Value Select 4GB Kit DDR3-1333 (2 x 2GB, PC3-10666, 9-9-9-24, CMV4GX3M2A1333C9) and the also failed to boot the system. So i have some reservations concerning the vengeance ones..

I was also thinking of buying the Kigston hyperX  KHX1333C9D3K2/4G. Is it going to work with my system?

 

[Bernhard]

Can't see a reason why not. The Crucials in my signature are an excellent choice as they have performed well with everyone thats been using them.

 

[Henry]

I use the same RAM as Bernhard and agree with his recommendation. I would also suggest getting a better PSU, most of those CM like yours are not very good. Corsair would be much better PSU.

I dont think that its a PSU related problem though. Its not the best available I admit but it isnt like I have a random one.  In due time i ll buy a new one but until then it will have to make do.

Update : the kingston hyperX ones with part number KHX1333C9D3B1/2G failed to boot as well. What the hell is wrong with the compatibility issues of this mobo???  :rolleyes_anim:
