Is this a good deal?

[Big Red Knows]

I'm looking at buying some memory for an editing setup and these caught my eye.

32gb (4x8gb) gskill Ripjaw z 1866 (10-11-10-30)

Cost is £212, which seems pretty cheap. Is a latency of 10 gonna be important to me (as opposed to 9) and does the fact I need to use something called XMP to change it from 1333 going to matter at all.

I have an x79 mobo by the way.

Looks like a good deal to me, cant find anything cheaper at Ebuyer or Scan not even at 1600MHz.
Using XMP or setting timings manually does not matter, it should work.

Cool. Do you think I might notice any issues using XMP - if I don't they appear to run at 1333mhz

Edit, I wrote this while you edited yours.

Should not since the ram is designed for that speed.
