high end PC

[Dackzy]

So I will make a new system this year, because I need more power for 3D work and games.

Specs:

Case: Thermaltake core P5

CPU: 6850k

Motherboard: Most likely MSI X99A Tomahawk

Ram: G.Skill TridentZ DDR4 3200MHz 32gb (black and white)

PSU: AX860i (if it has enough watt for what I want to do)

Harddrive: 500gb 850 Evo, 2TB HDD seagate 128mb cache (for things I wont use that often) and maybe a 950pro

CPU cooler: most likely EKWB EK-XLC PREDATOR 360 

GPU(for now atleast): 1070 or some vega GPU, I will go SLI or CF with Navi or Volta and not now, mainly because the cards that are out right now is meh IMO.

 

 

Is there something you would change?

G Skill 3200 at what latencies?

CL 16-18-18-38, but I plan to get that down to CL 14 with maybe some help from @MageTank if he wants to help me

I'll do whatever I can to help.

16-18-18 is the "X99 kit" Slightly worse latencies than the "Z170" 16-16-16 kit but quad channel bandwidth makes the difference imo. 

 

tuning it down to 14 would be fantastic though.

Well if I didn't live in Denmark I would be able to get them with CL 15-15-15

Depends if the IMC is up to it though.

Primaries won't be that big of a deal for the IMC. I am more worried about the IMC's tolerance with the tertiary timings. If Broadwell-E is anything like Haswell-E, then we are in for a world of hurt.

I can get a metal and white version also that is CL14 stock, but black and white is just so neat

The C14 ones are clearly Samsung B-Die. The C16 ones look like Samsung D or E. Both kits are single rank, meaning no Rank Interleaving. Just looked into Broadwell-E's IMC, and it appears to be very solid, so overclocking should be fine. Just remember, quad channel will double max theoretical bandwidth, but efficiency will go down. My ram is 94% efficient, meaning i hit 94% of my max theoretical bandwidth in aida64's memory bandwidth test. As you add more channels, this efficiency drops, meaning will hit a lower % of your max theoretical bandwidth. This isn't that big of an issue, since 70% efficiency in quad channel is still better than 90% efficiency in dual channel. I only say this because I don't want you to see a max theoretical bandwidth of 102,400MB/s, and  feel disappointed when you only see 70,000MB/s-80,000MB/s. If the IMC is indeed as good as people say it is, then we should be able to achieve high efficiency with tertiary timings. Just be ready for a nightmare of memory stress tests, lol. Behold, the power of Samsung B-Die!

wow thanks  And god damn those numbers  

The main reason why I want the trident Z is because they look really nice and I have heard good things about them, I know that above 2666MHz you don't really start seing much of a improvement in games and such, but trident z is really only 3200MHz. 

 

I am used to testing things often, this PC will be nr. 24 I build and I always stress test every single part in the system before giving it to the person who bought it
