Ram for my sg05 sandybridge rebuild?

gizmo1990 · 28 Mar 2011 at 14:54

I thought I'd post a new thread on this as I think I'm missing out on a lot of peoples views after my initial broader post. Plus I can't delay much longer.

I need some ram (4gb but would go to 8 if around £80 mark?) for my sandybridge build but I can't decide which to go with.
It'll be running in a sg05 with a intel dh67cfb3 board. Because of the chassis and cooler location I'll likely need low ish profile ram so none of those huge fins. I need it to be stable and quality ram plus I won't be oc'ing.

Please suggest some sticks for me!

No offense dude, but there's a ton of RAM on Overclockers, you're not exactly stuck for choice - have you even looked around?

Plenty of 1.5V low profile kits there. OK, H67 can't go faster than 1333MHz but these kits will slow down to match.

If it was me I'd consider GeIL. Not for any specific reason other than they use 6 layers PCB (need to check if for all varieties) instead of 4 like other brands.

Edit: The extra layers probably have no benefit.

If you're not overclocking then go for the cheapest you can get at the right speed (or higher) from a quality brand.

I got some of this when it was on offer at £26. Prices have gone up!
