Finalised build, also question about RAM

[Gazzony]

Hi,

After some suggestions I now have my build as followed:

PCPartPicker part list: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/jbpRYr

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor  (£273.76 @ Aria PC) 
Motherboard: Asus H110M-C D3 Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  (£58.53 @ Amazon UK) 
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory  (£91.00 @ Aria PC) 
Video Card: Palit GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB Dual Video Card  (£246.59 @ Aria PC) 
Case: Corsair Carbide SPEC-M2 MicroATX Mid Tower Case  (£54.73 @ Amazon UK) 
Power Supply: Corsair VS 550W ATX Power Supply  (£43.46) 

Total: £773.56

 

My question is, the ram runs at 1.5v, but the CPU runs at 1.35.

 

Does anyone have experience with hyperx and the i7 6700? and is it as easy as changing the setting in the bios.

Get DDR4 ram

I really don't see a point?

DDR3 is fine for me.

If the ram runs at 1.5v, and the CPU at 1.35, nothing is wrong. Those have no connection whatsoever.

DDR3 motherboard, stick with the ddr3 memory, he just doesn't know

i was just worried because pcpartpicker said

• The Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory operating voltage of 1.5V exceeds the Intel Skylake CPU recommended maximum of 1.35V+5% (1.417V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.35V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.

Get DDR4 because DRR3 is the wrong voltage for your processor and motherboard.

but that means changing the mb, do you recommend a motherboard that will 1. support my build (ddr4) + 2. is the same price as this one? i like the price i am on atm

Oh shit, yeah that might be a problem. Get 1.35v ram running 1600mhz or 1333mhz.

I don't think the motherboard supports DDR4

[NinJake]

If you really want to stick to DDR3 ram on a Skylake build you should look for Low Voltage DDR3 ram.

Geesh I didn't think ddr4 was that cheap

Change the power supply the VS is the lowest model power supply for corsair.

But it's corsair, so it can't be that bad?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Princess Luna]

Can't RAM voltage be set manually through BIOS?

are there any motherboards that are a bit more expensive for some more features such as 4 dim slots?

i thought that too ://

[brob]

There are a number of early Skylake motherboards that supported DDR3 instead of DDR4. If memory serves, the official Intel Skylake spec is for DDR3L (low voltage) support. But a number of motherboard manufacturers have indicated that 1.5v DDR3 is supported on their DDR3 motherboards.

Why do you want 2 x pcie 16x slots ? You can't SLI the GTX 1060.

upgrade ability purposes.

but after looking, not to worry, the price increase is quite high

If you wanted an SLI ready motherboard then you would need a Z170 chipset, and yeah they are a bit more expensive.
