4770k Maximus vi Formula RAM

Soumil · Mar 5, 2014

Hi people.
I am soon going to build a video editing/Gaming rig..
One of the biggest problem I have is ram.
I decided on I7 4770k and Maximus vi formula/hero.

I read some articles which said
Max your FSB (processor speed) first.
Then work on bandwidth.
Then on reducing timing

I started from second step and chose to get 32GB 1866mhz ram, a sweet spot.
RAM here in India costs a lot. $350 ram = $500
Though, money is not much of a problem but it price to performance is.

I love Corsair Dominator platinum and g.skill ripjawsx or trident rams

I went with the Trident X, best price/performance I've found with Haswell (in sig), starting using them with Ivy bridge builds have the 32GB 2400 set in that rig (also in sig)

What is FSB? How would 32GB 1866mhz Cas 9 RAM play with 4770k according to FSB?
And what about substimings. Like 9-..-..-.. 2N?

FSB has basically gone to the wayside, with Haswll and OCing you use the multiplier and/or the BCLK, DRAM is more independent. For performance DRAM I look to 1866/8, 2133/9, 2400 10 etc...1866 is a good choice, see here:

I did read that article before posting this..
I had problems with this
In case of Corsair Dominator platinum 32GB 1866mhz
Now
9-10-9-27 vs 9-9-9-24

1866/8

That looks just perfect. Any Dominator platinum with similar substimings?

Tradesman1 · Mar 6, 2014

Think the best Corsair has is their 9 set, it Platinum but 9-10-9-27 and about $80-90 more,

Why am I failing to select the best solution? I click pick solution, page refreshes. Nothing happens

Tradesman1 · Mar 6, 2014

It should! TRy again, if no joy, let me know and will pass it to the site programmers, may be a glitch

Soumil · Mar 6, 2014

Still not working :-!

Tradesman1 · Mar 6, 2014

Will report it to the powers that be

Tradesman1 · Mar 7, 2014

They are going to take a look, wanted to confirm, you are clicking the button here in the thread itself?

Soumil · Mar 7, 2014

It's not working. Have tried multiple times..
I pick you solution, it refreshes, nothing happens

Tradesman1 · Mar 7, 2014

Will drop them an update, and Thanx, both for the Best solution and letting us know of the problem

Hey Tradesman
I was using PC partpicker when it showed me, this
G.Skill Trident X Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory operating voltage of 1.6V exceeds the Intel Haswell CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.

Does that just means that I have to enable XMP to make it work or will I have to change voltages too?
