Best RAM for i7-4790k with ASUS Z97-A ? (Video Editing Purpose)

[krishna_balajee]

Suggest me RAM with a good amount of memory and the speed that would suit my i7 4790k CPU and ASUS z97-A Board, I need it for my Video and VFX Editing and rendering purpose.

2133/9 or 2400/10 Gskill Snipers or Trident X in 2x8GB is normally a good choice for 16GB, which will suffice for most, if running big editing jobs might consider same in 32GB

I'm lil confused! What's the difference between 2133/9 and 2400/10 gskill snipers? Do they go well with my mobo and CPU? No heat problems? And should I overclock my CPU to run them in 2133mHz? I want my rig to be iron stable. Coz the data i work with are more important than anything to me. Coz in the Intel website the 4790k memory type is given as DDR3 1600 and DDR3 1333 only. Thanks for the Response.

No worries, I have some clients that do video for a living, and both they, and those that do it for fun, hobby, part time, etc all prefer faster DRAM. The base DRAM spec on your CPU is 1600, but they easily handle faster sticks. My two primary rigs are 4770Ks and I've got 32GB with each, one running 2666 and the other running 2800 DRAM and both are rock solid. 2133 or 2400 is a good choice for both the higher data rates and price, 2666 and up is pricier

That sounds satisfying. Thanks for the Answers captain!

The 2133/9 would be fine, Newegg has the 2400/11 set (not sure where your at) as well as the Trident Xs

Problem! Retailers don't sell GSkill products in our country. So they are suggesting me Corsair Vengeance. Same memory and speed, it's little cheaper too. Shall I buy that? Or Is there a better option? Thanks.

The Vengeance are good sticks (if they have the Vengeance Pro line, they are a little strionger and more OC headroom)

I should get on it and check it. Thanks for the response.

No worries, let me know how the build goes 😉
