new haswell cpu does not support 1.65v ram?

[marcusg83]

Just wondering what kind of ram 1600mhz ram (optomized for gaming) to get for this cpu because apparently the ram I chose has too high of a voltage lol

Thanks in advance

What Haswell, what mobo? The K model haswells will basically take anything you throw at them (up to 4 sticks anyway)....would suggest sticking to 1.5 voltage sticks through 1866, if getting 2133 or higher DRAM then 1.65 is fine

oh yeah sorry for not including that, i knew i was forgetting something. its going to be the 4670k and an asrock z87 extreme4

just wondering what is the best memory 1600 memory for the money. most likely it will be 2x4 so a total of 8 gigs

For 2x4GB 1600, biggest bang for the buck would prob be the Ripjaws X 1600/7

with the CL of 7 much better performance wise that the more staid 1600 CL( set, this particular set also OC's rather easily to 1866, and I've run them at 2133 all within spec limits

how do you think this build would work out? i know almost everyone is doing the same thing now that haswell has came out but i'm just wondering your opinion. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1foH9

You grabbed my vote early on a good rig 4670K/EVO/EX4 and the DRAM, I don't see a thing wrong with your selections, you obviously put some time into it, so Congrats, think you'll be well pleased with this rig

I would grab the 2400 cas 11 for less money

i've been thinking about this for the past couple of weeks and posting as many questions as i could on here to make my decisions because you most likely know that i haven't made a computer in my life. will all of these be okay within the next couple of months because i still need to save up for everything. i'm only 19 lol

The way these ran at 2133 1.6, CL9...might be able to run 2400/10, had the set in a SB w/ a 2500K and 2133 was tops it could carry

I'm a dinosaur 55, started with big iron in 1980, got hooked on PCs with the 286s digging through the memory maps to find an extra few K to make available to the system, like the believe it was 8K reserved for RGB video when you were running VGA - all kinds of junk, a lot of times I'm surprised at all I do remember - not many out here have prob ever seen coax ethernet cables that look like a garden hose
