Hi guys I'm utterly utterly confused now so any help is appreciated
I need 32GB RAM for the following:
Asus Z170-A
6700K (planning to MAX overclock)
Noctua D15
1070 graphics card
For:
Virtual reality gaming
Music production (16+ tracks with live softsynths/effects etc)
Can you help please?
I know I need low profile for the Noctua (<32mm) and Corsair Vengeance does that.
I will be overclocking my 6700K as far as it will reasonably go.
I want it to be fast but not sure how fast. I know latency is important but I want biggest bang for buck as money isn't unlimited.
I was thinking the 3000MHz version (2 x 16GB) but I'm confused because on the one hand Asus says they can make the RAM go up to 3400, but on the other hand the datasheet says "JEDEC" or whoeever only allows 2133, and then I am reading forum posts of people saying their 3000 isn't working and they need to set it at 2133 then I see people talk about overclockign the RAM, still others are saying things like the 6700K won't support 3000 anyway!!!!!???
I am utterly utterly utterly confused here.
Should I get the 3000 RAM and can it then overclock to 3400 or whatever?
Or should I not bother going higher than the supported 2133... and then maybe OC that up to 3000?
I know overclocking a CPU gives good results but OCing RAM? High speed RAM? Worth it?
What RAM should I be going for?
Thanks in advance!!
