    CjMH888 got a reaction from PineyCreek in Fractal Design Celsius S36   
    I bought it installed it and it fits nice and tight could not install the top 2 screws but 10 of 12 screws is good enough for me

    It's correct. The "base" frequency when it comes to memory for Coffee Lake CPUs (excluding i3s) is 2666MHz. In other words, it's the guaranteed frequency. Anything beyond that is considered an "overclock".
     
    Basically, if you bought a 4133MHz kit of RAM and enabled the XMP profile on that motherboard, then the memory should run at 4133MHz without a hitch. Simply put, whether or not you achieve that frequency depends on the motherboard you buy.

    That is the specification of the 8700K's memory controller, to where memory of that speed would be absolutely guaranteed to work with.
     
    That being said, the 8700K's memory controller is very good, easily being able to work with RAM up to 4133 Mhz (and possibly more). You can reach those speeds by buying RAM kits rated above the stock 2666 Mhz speed and enabling XMP profiles in your BIOS. Higher quality RAM kits (keyword: more expensive) have a higher chance of reaching the upper limits of your motherboard's specs for OC RAM speeds.

    Honestly RAID is becoming less relevant in the consumer market, with fast SSDs rendering RAID 0 pointless (along with NVMe RAID 0 drives being bottlenecked by DMI bandwidth); as well as drives becoming more and more reliable and resistant to damage, and Cloud storage becoming more convenient and cheaper, rendering RAID 1 and other redundancy RAID options less relevant. Don't get me wrong, RAID is always going to have a well-defined place in the enterprise and datacenter markets, but those are beyond your scope and usage. 
     
    With Intel charging extra for the ability to have redundancy RAID options on X299, that should tell you something about their stance on RAID in general for the consumer market.

    You could stick a S24 in the front.  No support for 360mm rads.  Radiator's not super thick.

    Check the specs page under radiator support
     
    Radiator Support Front 240mm/280mm (up to 40mm thickness without fan) Rear 120mm/140mm Top N/A
