Hi, I'm new to the GSKILL TECH FORUM, but fairly experienced with computers.
I'm building a quiet Workstation for Computer Aided Design, and I'll be using lots of memory with RAMdisk Plus (for Page and Temp files). Except for the memory, the main component selections are as follows:
Board: ASUS PX79 WS (chosen for the PS/2 ports, passive VRM cooling)
CPU: Intel Core-i7 3820 overclocked to 4.50 GHz (1.25 x 3.6 GHz) or 4.75 GHz (1.25 x 3.8 GHz) (whatever I can achieve at < 75 C load with < 1.4 V to the CPU)
Cooler: Phanteks PH-TC14PE with three Thermalright TR-TY140 fans (running quietly)
VGA: Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 OC 3GB or Toxic 6GB (possibly in 2x Crossfire)
PSU: Seasonic 1000W Platinum
Case: Lian-Li A70F Full Tower with Bitfenix Spectre Pro fans and AcoustiPack Ultimate
SSD: OCZ Vertex 4 256GB, with highly over-provisioned spare area (for OS files)
HDD: Western Digital RE4 2TB (RAID 1 pair) (for data and image files)
Keyboard: Leopold Cherry MX Mechanical (PS/2)
Mouse: Logitech Mouse M110 (PS/2)
Two G.Skill Ripjaws Z memory kits with 8 DIMMS are being considered:
8x4GB: F3-17000CL9Q2-32GBZH (9-11-10-28-2N), used at DDR3 2000 (1.25 x DDR3 1600), with a CR of 1N instead of 2N desired.
8x8GB: F3-19200CL9Q2-64GBZHD (10-12-12-31-2N), used at DDR3 2333 (1.25 x DDR3 1866), with a CR of 1N instead of 2N desired.
Q1: Are either or both kits compatible with the P9X79 WS ?
Q2: If both, would one kit be significantly more compatible / easier to stabilize ?
Q3: For each kit, is my desired 1N CR feasible at stock VDIMM (1.65 V) ?
Q4: For each kit, what other voltage settings would you recommend ?
Any guidance would be welcome Thanks !
