Green is about ram
if you can answer the first to will be helpfull thanks ,
I am going to build a pc so I need some answers.
First of all there are two editions of i5 4690
the K one and the not K so first of all I need to know which to buy
couse the difference is 20 eyro
I think the K version is the unlocked
one (for overclocking) if thats true it means that
the other cant be overclocked?
...(not that i will try to overclock in the first mounths
of using the cpu but for the future).
Also i want to know if i need to buy a cpu cooler or does it have one?
Do I need one(better than the stock if it has)
If 'll buy the K version and not overclock(yet);
Also i am thinking of Ashrock Asrock-Z97-Pro4 but I dont know if its compatible whith the rams I chose so look and inform me G.Skill RipjawsX F3-14900CL8D-8GBXM the motherboard says 1866(OC)...does that means that it wont work if I just place them to the matherboard and that I need to overclock to get them work. Or that it will be fine and that If I want more speed(not that is so better from 1600) I have to overclock. At the end I need to know If I buy the Kversion of the cpu the mb and the rams will these be fine working together and what overclock will be Needed
 
Solution
the DRAM is compatible with either the K or the non-K (would go the K), and both are fully compatible with the mobo. Yes, simply enable XMP and it will set the DRAM up for you to correct freq
You are correct as far as the "k" signifying an "unlocked" CPU, the non "k" model is not capable of overclocking (in any real sense of the word).
The GSkill Ripjaws-X F3-14900CL8D-8GBXM does list itself compatible through GSkill's ram configurator tool http://www.gskill.com/en/configurator?manu=52&chip=2146&model=2150 (about 1/2 way down the page) the ram will default to 1333MHz but enabling XMP in BIOS will put the ram at spec'd frequency and timings
No overclocking is needed (other than enabling XMP) but will be an option later if the need arises
