Memory best performance/price point memory for sandy bridge

I am building a video-editing pc around the new sandy-bridge 2600K processor. In the bit-tech review article it seems the sweet spot for memory is 1600MHz CL9. What would be the best 16GB kit to buy there seems to be so many brands and options available?

 

As per the article any reputable manufacturer (corsair, Kingston etc etc) will do but they state there is not much point going past 1600mhz and keep it low latency

Yep the CPC review is recommending that you use 1.65V RAM, in which case this would be ideal:

That's good if you have 8 ram slots

Otherwise 2 of either these are probably ideal

The 2nd one is 1.50v does that matter?

 

Good point... lack of reading on my part

 

The first one.

 

One word of warning: the memory controllers have serious issues hitting frequencies higher then specified (1333) once you start raising the amount of ram and the amount of slots filled. Most of them still hit 1600 with 16GB, but be prepared to have to run at 1333 to get more stability.

 

my primary concern is "video editing PC"

what software ?

does it need a SB CPU and 16GB of RAM !!!

unless your doing pro-video editing its massive overkill

 

Indeed, 16gb is a massive amount of RAM which casual editing would not need and as posted above, maxing out the slots could require RAM to be slowed, so unless you really will be making use of that much RAM it won't be worth getting.

 

Its for running premiere pro CS5

 

fair enough then

have you thought about GPU aceleration too ?

 

I'm about to build a rig for exactly the same use, are you also going to be using After Effects etc? What cabinet are/have you used - I'm looking at the RV02 or Fractal R3.

Cheers.

 

This is really good RAM

This is for an i7 1366 machine as SB is dual channel ONLY.

 

Corsair Vengence 8GB kit for just over £100 is best perice/performance as far as i can see.

or just plain Corsair XMS3 8GB kit for £100, but they are 9-9-9-27 instead of 9-9-9-24 on those Vengence.

 

GSkill F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL - 2x4GB, 1.5V, 1600 CL9. What more can you ask ?

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-060-GS

 

that thier not from overclockers

 

That was just a link, it's not like only one shop sells the GSkill F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL kit . My point was that it is a DDR3-1600 CL9 kit running at 1.5V.
