Thanks for the help, guys.
Well, this setup I'm building is for a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) only. No games, not even internet connected on this computer. Lots of processor loads, sometimes 4 hours long mixing sessions with the processor between 70% to 95% loaded all the time.
Probably no overclock unless it would be something super safe, cause I want this setup to last the next 5 years. That's why I asked about the 3970x, because maybe I can upgrade from the 3930k to the 3970x at any moment, so I want a dd3 setup that would not push down the 3970x performance also.
Another cons about overclocking a DAW is the fact that quiet operation is very important, so I'll be using a decent cooler, probably the Noctua NH-14s, but I wonder it probably would not handle extreme OC setting.
Unlike what I imagined, I've seen on the intel page that the 3930k and the 3970x maximum memory clocks are the same: 1600. So without overclock, doesn't make sense to use anything faster that that since the entire system will run at the lowest clock link, right ? Even tho the motherboard can handle 1866, if the processor is set at 1600 FSB, the system clock will be 1600, right ? Correct me if I'm wrong. So without overclocking this is the maximum I can get from this system ? If I decide to do a safe overclock what would be a nice memory clock to buy ?
