I've been looking to complete my shopping list for system upgrade to IB / SB setup and am ideally looking to include 2x8GB 1600MHz sticks rather than 4x4GB if it can be helped. I'm going to be using a Noctua DH14 in an FT02 case so presume I will need something low profile. However, all I can find is what I've linked below and some G Skill ARES 2x8GB 1333MHz sticks.

Vengeance 1x8GB 1600MHz - with large heat sink

Do I have any other options?
 
Not on ocuk, they are still uncommon but that will probably change towards the end of the year. There is nothing wrong with getting two of the 8gb vengeance sticks.
 
I'm not sure that they will fit under the cooler otherwise I would probably go with them...

I've found the code for the G Skill 1600MHz 2x8GB set - F3-1600C10D-16GAO. Would be ideal if OCUK stocked these.
 
Thanks Bee - I've added a post to the product suggestions and in the meantime found a German site with the G Skill product listed. Seems to be a reasonable euro price provided I don't get stung on card / delivery fees...

Anyone have experience of buying from european websites? I presume this is OK for discussion. If not, let me know and I will edit ASAP.
 
Buying from the EU is ok, you won't get charged anything extra apart from probably a higher delivery charge.

Anyway if you buy the corsair from OCuk then you can remove the heatsinks if needed, however I'd imagine this would void the warranty.
