What is the best memory out for SB?

[Phaseshift]

Looking for the best memory money can buy right now for sandy, I would like to use it for benching.

I was looking at these

what do you guys think?

overpriced

[Phaseshift]

well yeah I know that but they are the only ones compatible with the EK Ram block. Do they OC well?

[Leeghoofd]

why 8gb for benching ? Gskill RipjawsX or Pis CL7, very very nice ram.... watercooling ram is pretty useless... either you want performance or looks...

can't I get both lol? I chose 8gb cause I also do encoding and its nice to have the extra 4gb

What motherboard? The Asus mainstream boards work well with G.Skill Eco 4gb kits so should do with the 8gb CL8 kit too. If not I'd be tempted to go with the 4x2gb Pi 6-8-6 kit.

Of course if you really want to watercool the mem and want 8gb of overclockable ram from newegg you've got no choice, so a bit pointless asking?

Im using the WS Revolution, what are Pi kits? I'm just seeing what options I have in case I decided to scrap the whole watercooling ram idea.

Yeah thats cool - just pointing out youre kinda limiting yourself there .

If you look on newegg > ddr3 > 8gb kits theres a g.skill 4x2GB 1600mhz 6-8-6 kit for a chunk less than the corsair. It'd give you the opportunity to bench with the best 2 sticks and shove the other 2 in when you want to encode etc. They should do around the same as the Corsair in terms of ultimate clockspeed but cost a bit less and may bench higher in 2x2gb compared to the Corsair. That's just guesswork - the CL6 Pi kits were pretty good on P55.

On Sandy all ram is fast, i'd tend to recommend against spending vast amounts of money on memory.

I noticed that as well, however the 2200 9-9-9 kits are still in stock, thinking of grabbing a set

i was lucky to buy a set of 4gb gskills ripjaws X 1600mhz cas6 1.5v for 21$
they maxed out 2133 cas8 but good for 1900 cas6 1.65v

now that is killing it, especially for the price

I can run 8GB's of the 2133 8-9-8 kit at 1866 8-8-8-24 with 1.65v
