just to let everyone know what I have tried:
1. I bought another SSD (Samsung Evo 256GB) – very fast SSD, but no help despite I tried various settings (Media Cache, ratch disk…)
2. I bought a set of 32GB RAM – very limited improvement (may I say, very limited if any at all)Let’s say I returned both above and back to square one.
Conclusion, so far, it is got to be the processor not fast enough to handle 4K. Well, I am done, don’t want to upgrade the entire mother board and processor. I am not sure if upgrading software help or not, I doubt it. I will live with rendering after each little edit or use a lower resolution ones and then replace them at the end. Painful but I don’t edit that much anyway.
Thanks again for those who tried to help.
Sincerely,

OK, I don’t give up easily… haha… well, I pulled off one of my 128G SSD and dedicated that as my Cache and Media drive. I still don’t see much improvement. I then tried open the CPU Usage Monitor, to discover during Video Preview of my 4K video, it only takes 25-30% of the CPU. In fact, 2-3 of the cores does not even move up very much. Memory use was only 5.3G (I got 32G). So, not sure what is bottle necking my video preview in PPro now. Ahhhhhh….

Chris, TY for your tips. Yes, I can do that or I can render every bit of the 4K video but am just trying to avoid that. I think I am at a point where besides upgrading, I just have to live with this.

Does anyone know? (would upgrading to Win10 or CS6 help?)
How about putting the Videos on a SSD? Who that help with the preview lags?
TY.

would upgrading to Win10 or CS6 help? I don’t want to upgrade to CC continue to pay Adobe indefinitely as I only edit video nowadays once or twice a year!

Brent, ty so much for helping. I tried what you suggested as far as Media Cache folders… It really does not help much.
System:
Intel Core i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50 GHz
32 GB RAM (max for my system)
Win7 64bit (don’t think Win10 will help)
C Drive: 250G SSD
V Drive: 1.5T free (7200rpm)
S Drive: 100GB free (for video Cache as you suggested) (7200rpm)
several other external drives…PremPro CS5
Any other suggestions?

BTW, system drive is a 256G SSD while video drive and 2 others are HDD 7200rpm. Ram is only 16G.

Jeff, ty for your help. Processor is i7. It doesn’t stutter after render or after output to h.264 1080p. Just having hard time editing. Yes I realize CS5 is old but can’t afford to upgrade at this time.

Can someone please help answer this question. Why wouldn’t my setup good enough to edit (in Premiere CS5) for 4K video? Would upgrading the RAM to 32G help?

Jon, TY for your reply. I am talking about editing in the timeline, not export. Export are fine. Just very sluggish editing. I can preview ~2s in realtime, but, it starts stutter/sluggish preview on the editing window. TY
