Can someone explain how to pick the correct memory for a motherboard and CPU?
For instance, if I were to purchase an Asus X99-DELUXE motherboard and an Intel Core i7-5960X CPU what is the correct DDR4 memory?
On the Asus X99-Deluxe product page (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132260) it says the following memory is compatible with the board: "DDR4 3200(O.C.) / 3000(O.C.) / 2800(O.C.) / 2666(O.C.) / 2400(O.C.) / 2133 MHz"; but on the product page for the Intel CPU (http://ark.intel.com/products/82930/Intel-Core-i7-5960X-Processor-Extreme-Edition-20M-Cache-up-to-3_50-GHz) it says this product uses the following memory: "DDR4 1333/1600/2133."
I'm confused because the only number that matches between the Asus motherboard and Intel CPU is 2133 which if I understand correctly is the speed. I want to use this computer to run CAD, graphic design, moderate level 3D modeling, and flight simulator (X-Plane) software. I will also use it for the Microsoft Office.
I am sure this is a question that many people would like to see answered. I am hoping someone would be so kind and help me.
