I seem to remember reading on one of the threads on here that the Samsung Green MV-3V4G3D/US 4GB sticks which are found here were compatable. Could someone please clarify this. I've just bought 32GB of these to run along side an i7-3930K and will begin to build the system in the next week or so.....

This system is very close to what I am looking to build.

I am still curious what the deal is with the memory needing to be Samsung low voltage - not that I am opposed to Samsung especially, just curious as to why it is important.

I saw someone else was talking about Mushkin low voltage RAM also...

I like the look of the Plextor SSDs - I was going to go Crucial but the Plextor is very tempting.

You might want to consider a USB3 Card Reader?

Cheers! Dave.

Greetings everyone.

I'm new to this forum and am currently building a new computer for Premere Pro. I have been using an I5 setup with a Radeon that would encounter serious lags during production/montage. I don't want to start a new topic as my question is very similar to this one (same motherboard) Could you please have a look at this setup and tell me what should I look to improve (I know now from reading that 1GB on the GPU may not be sufficient)  or what components should I avoid.

Sincerely Jacob

ASUS P9X79 PRO

INTEL Core i7-3770 3.4GHz LGA1155

PATRIOT VIPER XTREME DIVISION 4 DDR3 4x4GB 2133MHz CL11 ELK

Asus DCII OC 1GB GTX 560

OCZ Vertex 2 SATA 60GB

Thanks for catching my CPU mistake Harm. I have been copy-pasting the configuration and got the wrong CPU in the list.

The one that I'm interested (financialy capable now of purchasing) is

Intel Core i7-3820 processor

I read mixed reviews and opinions about it on this forum... But I can's seem to find a good alternative. I'm an art student and most of my work is well... Art. I am trying to get the parts I need for around $1300. Could you please advise on the CPU and elaborate on my choice of RAM why do you recomend chaning the Patriots?

Hi folks I have a similar question. I already have purchased most of the components for my new build, including the following:

Gigabyte GA-X79-UD5 2011, X79, EATX, 8x DDR3, PCI, 5x PCI-e, Crossfire, SLi, 4x SATA-300, 6x SATA-600, 0, 1, 5, 10, 1Gbps, 2x eSATA, FW, 7x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.0, PS/2, 7.1,
Cooler Master HAF X
Intel Core i7 3930K Boxed Socket 2011 cpu 3,2GHz
Noctua NH-D14 Special Edition (LGA 2011) 140mm
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1000W 80-plus-gold
2x Intel 520 120GB 120GB SSD (OEM) SATA-600
Zotac GeForce GTX 580 AMP2 815MHz 3GB GDDR5

The last component which I still haven't figured out is the RAM.

As I understand, the 3930k works (best) with 1,35v ram. My question is, will this 1,35v ram work on the Gigabyte mobo, which supports 1,5v memory? Or do I have to adjust something in the Bios in order to make the ram work properly? Or do I have a major problem here?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Any other suggestions on this build are welcome!

Thank you Harm!

I forgot to mention that I will add a 1TB 7200rpm and a 2TB 7200rpm harddisk from my previous build.

1st SSD is for OS.

2nd SSD is for global performance cache

1TB is for output

2TB is for media and project files.

I also will use an external hard drive for backups, as well as blu ray disks.

Any idea where I can find those Samsung sticks in the Netherlands? Tweakers is not listing them properly.

there is something i dont understand about ram Voltage....... from what i read as i understood 1.35 is better then 1.65, if say true i did not know its something to think about at all.....

here is what i am goign to build:

INTEL X79TO SOCKET LGA2011 DDR3

INTEL CORE I7-3930K 3.2G 12M SOCKET LGA2011

INTEL 520 SATA3 SSD 120G 2.5 MLC 25NM 10 - C drive

16GB  DDR3-1600 HYPERX KIT OF 4x4GB KINGSTON (about 140usd)

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 580, 3000MB DDR5

the rest i already have on my curent system and i ll use it.......(box, HDDs, 800W power)

as i understand my RAM uses V1.65, at least its own website states it in spec pdf - DDR3-1600 at a low latency timing of 9-9-9-27 at 1.65V (but also they write Power (Operating) 1.410 W* (per module))

so 1.65V is no good? they also say - It’s designed to deliver maximum performance when paired with Intel’s Sandy Bridge-E processors and X79 Express motherboards....

so do u think i better change it to 1.35v?

i wonder if some one can suggest a pci express card with many sata 3 connectors on it? not just 2, but maybe 6 or more? are there any like that at all?

about GPU - really hard to decided..... can go with 680 or 670 as well ..... but cant decide what is better...... and just decied to stop at GTX580 with 3GB hope its something good

I'm really thinking to just go for a 32gb set of these:

http://www.corsair.com/vengeance-low-profile-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-mem ory-kit-cml8gx3m2a1600c9w.html

or these:

http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?imodule=CT2KIT51264BD160B

My patience is reaching its limits, so I probably won't be waiting for the Samsung sticks to be available in Holland.

Or would these be a very bad choice?

You mean something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816151121

no not that one! as its also a raid controller thats is extreamly expansive! i would prefer more simple one just with sata 3 ports.... something like that:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816129087

unfourtunatly the next one with more sata is 400$ right away..... would like to find it cheaper....

Correct me if I`m wrong, but I always thought that a  lower latency is the better choice, in this case the corsair having 9 over the crucial having 11. But I `m probably wrong :-)

The second thing I don`t understand is the low voltage. They both run on 1,35v, so what is the difference?

Please explain, I am really confused at the moment.

so we really need 1.35v on x79?

Loving this thread! Thanks in advance to the folks helping out here!

Cheers! Dave.

is that what u r talking about? SamSung 4GB DDR3 Desktop SDRAM (1600MHz PC3-12800)

• DDR3 30nm
• PC3-12800 Design
• 30 Nano Class
• DDR3 SDRAM
• 1600MHz (PC3-12800) Write Speed
• Compatible with1333MHz (PC3-10600)
• CL11 (11-11-11-28) @1600MHz CAS Latency
• 1.65W Power Consumption
• 1.35V Voltage

So only 1.35V is important now for x79? these high CL numbers are not that important anymore?
