X79 pc in need of help!

[Mat_95]

So, here goes, my system specs;

 

Case: Cooler Master HAF X (with all standard fans on it)

 

Mobo: Asus Sabertooth X79(it's missing the "assistant fan" can't find one anywhere)

 

Cpu: i7 3820, I currently have a 4930K sat waiting.

 

Cpu cooler: Arctic freezer i30

 

Gpu: EVGA ACX 3.0 Gaming GTX 1070 

 

Storage: OCZ Vertex 4 128gb 

 

OS: Windows 10 pro

 

Ram: 8Gb Corsair Vengeance LP 1866 (2x4)

 

Psu: corsair GS800 

 

My system needs some new ram, as what I have is no longer available anywhere really, don't want to be stuck at 8gb and preferably not to mix makes of ram, my cpu also idles at near 40c, with room temperature around 19c, so I'm looking into some better cooling too, maybe a newer psu too depending, 

But yes, I also cannot overclock it, bios telling me it fails every time I attempt (it weirdly ran at 4.55ghz for a good while with Temps around 50-58c), doesn't want to anymore though, but yeah.

 

My point is, what would be some good X79 ram for my i7 4930K and would new cooling be needed or should new thermal paste be sufficient? 

 

Thank you

uh 16gb of ddr3 gskill your psu is fine

maybe a h100i or a dark rock 3 pro

Any kind of gskill? Ripjaws, sniper etc? And I were thinking a H115i or something similar, and a GS 800 is all good? It's non modular, which is kinda driving me nuts to be honest, but it works, thank you!

yeah all corsair psus are pretty high quality

 

tbh on the ram i recommend u just get the cheapest 16gb kit of a reputable brand on newegg or amazon.

For the cooler its ur preference air or liquid

 

Air would be dark rock 3 pro imo

liquid would maybe be a nzxt kraken x62

Thanks, and fair points, personal preference really I guess, just wanting to lower my cpu Temps really and get some good ram, I'll go take a look at your suggestions, thanks again ?

get a pair of 1866mhz 2x4gb ram for quad channel, preferably the same kit but can be from other brands too.

I've been having problems finding any corsair vengeance Lp at all, let alone 1866 haha, kinda wasting chipset capabilities right now, but yeah, mixing brands isn't bad unless it's of different voltages I guess?
