For SB, SB-E and now IB there's little help going faster than DDR3-1600 CAS 9 RAM.
Answers:
(i) I need 240-pin DDR3. ; Yep
(ii) DDR3 1600 seems to be the norm. ; Yep
(iii) lower latency is better, but how low? ; Helps but not too much -- depends on the densities and frequencies, for DDR3-1600 4GB/stick CAS 7 (9 is typical) & 8GB/stick CAS 9 (10 is typical). However, ultra low i.e. fast CAS typically tend to be less stable relative to higher frequencies. See 'Chart' below.
(iv) Timings will need to be tweaked. ; then get a set of Corsair Dominator's the Vengeance don't like to be 'tweaked'
(v) I would like 32 Gig ; IF you're doing any form of Rendering (3D, Video, Data) and/or need are RAM drive then sure. However, (now) 8GB/stick density is VERY touchy so I ONLY recommend a SINGLE kit of (4x8GB) matched set.
*The CPU will be i7-3770K OC'd. ; DDR3-1600 is fine to whatever OC you obtain on the IB.
Here's my SB-E with DDR3-1600 8x4GB in DDR3-1600 - http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2320509
4x8GB Sets that I recommend with SB/IB; note all 4x8GB are going to be listed and optimized for Quad Channel -- I'm not currently aware of any that are listed for 'Dual Channel' but they should work.
