Hello, i am planning a new DAW/rendering build, it will run 24/7.
The chosen specs are:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K, 4x 3.50GHz, boxed
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD5H
RAM: 32GB / i wanna go with G.Skill TridentX which have removable top fin, but i don't know which model
HS: Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 (because of the PWM fans)
HS/MK: Noctua NM-i115x Mounting Kit
POWER: Super Flower Golden Silent Fanless Platinum 500W ATX 2.3 | would be better a "Super Flower Golden King Platinum 550W ATX 2.3" ?
SSD: 2x Samsung SSD 840 Pro Series 256GB
BD: LG Electronics BH16NS40
CASE: Fractal Design Define R4 Titanium Grey
OS: Microsoft: Windows 8 Pro 64Bit
SOUND: RME Hammerfall HDSPe AIO
I am not plan to overclock OOTB. First i wanna check how it will perform without any overclocking. Maybe try water/OC later. For the RAM i am really indecisive, which one to choose from. The motherboard specs tell that it wants 1.5v while on the G.Skill RAM configurator listings also the 1.6v & 1.65v. So it should be fine? I do not want to be plagued from bluescreens. Will the CPU be somehow throttled when using higher MHZ than 1600 MHZ without overclock? (I remember i read somewhere something?)
RAM models i take into consideration (directly from the G.Skill RAM Configurator):
----------------------------
1. (8.75ns Latency)
[TridentX] F3-1600C7Q-32GTX
DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800)
32GB (8GBx4)
CL7-8-8-24
1.5 Volt
----------------------------
2. (8.57ns Latency)
[TridentX] F3-1866C8Q-32GTX
DDR3-1866 (PC3-14900)
32GB (8GBx4)
CL8-9-9-24
1.6 Volt
----------------------------
3. (8.44ns Latency)
[TridentX] F3-2133C9Q-32GTX
DDR3-2133 (PC3-17000)
32GB (8GBx4)
CL9-11-11-31
1.6 Volt
----------------------------
The formula i have used for the latency: 2000 x (CL / Speed) = Latency in nanoseconds (ns)
My gut says choose the 1600 MHZ for lesser problems, but if you choose the 1866 MHZ there is maybe some improvement over it. But now, if i choose the 1866 MHZ, why not take the 2133 MHZ? For 2400 MHZ i read on Amazon, they confirmed problems on a Gigabyte motherboard. I also read somewhere for intel we should go with 1.5v, but this should be outdated information? When reading feedbacks on newegg, people choose 2400 MHZ mostly. I am completely confused what is the best take here? What will happen when i am using 2133 MHZ, but without overclock (atm)? Will it running on 2133 MHZ or 1600 MHZ? Is there some CPU throttling? I really don't know what i should do here.

G.Skill RAM Configurator (http://gskill.com/en/configurator?ma...307&model=1355)
The new build will be running 24/7, while there is DAW work & video rendering,
coding, local apache, all kind of different tasks. I want to connect up to 3/4 screens to it.
If there is a little sparetime i want to do a game here and there.
Components i want to adopt from my old rig (AMD 9850) into the new one:
*MSI GeForce GTX 660 TwinFrozr III
*UAD-2 Solo
*4xhdd
*1xssd
Which RAM should i choose? Any help and suggestion much appreciated.
My last build is already some years ago.
Thanks in advantage,
