This is one set I saw just as items bought together on amazon.

as i recommend pretty much exactly what that combo is...

that would be a pretty killer, and future proof update.

With the X99 platform you would be crazy to not take advantage of the quad-channel capability that can be used with the DDR4 memory.  That said, buy a 4 channel kit.  You can get a Corsair LPX 2400MHz 16GB (4 x 4GB) kit for $149.99 from Newegg.

So I bought an i7 5820k msi x99s sli 4 x 4 ddr ram and a be quiet advanced c1. I'm trying to install the cooler now but I've never done it before and now I'm not sure the c1 fits a 2011v3 I thought it was the same size as a 1366 so it would fit.

This is it atm, does it look correct?

It does support it but I have never used the cooler so I can't help further

I cant figure out if I'm supposed to take the backplate off the mobo or I keep it on, because the screws on the other side only just go all the way through

[GameRebel]

Is it bad not to use the provided backplate and I just use the motherboards back plate to put the screws in? Cos otherwise the screws just aren't long enough to get through both backplates and the board.

Are you sure that cooler supports 2011-3 ? It isn't listed on their website as having socket compatibility for 2011-3.

 

Look under technical data and then main specification - http://www.bequiet.com/en/cpucooler/235

 

If you look at the Dark Rock 3 as another example, then socket 2011-3 is listed.

It fits the place just the screw wasn't big enough so I didn't apply the coolers backplate and just used my mobos backplate. Then I think I messed up the placement of the fan and thermal compound so the cpu ran at 95c before shutting down. So I've gotta go out to get some rubbing alcohol tomorrow to clean it off and try again.

If the screws are not long enough then my guess is it won't work. I would send an email to BeQuiet to check. Their customer service is very good from my own experience. They might be able to sort you out with a 2011-3 mounting kit.

So I think my CPU is throttling, every 8-10 seconds my game will freeze for a microsecond and then climb back up to high fps. Maybe the be quiet advanced isn't cooling well enough? If so any advice on a different air cooler for the 5820k?
