Hi everyone,
Looking at putting a new system together with an Intel i5 2500k matched to a Biostar TZ68A http://206.108.48.60/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=546&tab=3
I want to add 8Gb of 12800 (1600Mhz) memory and I suppose it boils down to the usual triple play of performance, reliability and price.
So, essentially this Crucial Ballistix Sport for £38. Never really overclocked memory so not entirely sure how the relatively loose timings and 1.5v fare on Sandybridge.http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-132-CR&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517
or this Corsair XMS at £43 with tighter timings but higher volts of 1.55v - 1.65v
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-290-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517
or Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey similar to Corsair above at £44 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-094-KS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517
or finally choice of two G-Skill being either the Ripjaws for £50 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-060-GS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517
or what I think may be the best option of G-Skill Sniper which is rated at 1.25V and available at a competitor for £45.
I seem to remember reading that SB setup and voltages dont always mix and that is why I am concerned with the first few ram choices being 1.5v to as high as 1.65v.
Thanks in advance for your input.
NB
