Hi Everyone!
I'm currently in the process of building my latest PC, and I've got nearly every component except for the RAM as I've had a last minute moment of indecision.
So far I had locked in G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 64GB (4 x 16GB) DDR4-2133, however my Motherboard (Gigabyte X99 SOC Force) has 8 slots. Am I better off looking into an 8x8GB set instead? I have no idea what the advantages and disadvantages of either would be and the information I've found on the internet so far has been quite conflicting.
Also, as RAM is extremely important to what I do I was looking for a higher speed RAM, but my processor (Intel i7 Extreme 5960x) says max memory speed supported is 2133.. I haven't found any i7s that support faster RAM.. do these CPUs actually recognize and use faster RAM than this?
Cheers,
Kaine
