I'm buying an i7 4790K, Gigabyte GA-Z97X-GAMING 5 (might change depending on the price and availability) and 16GB of RAM. I plan to OC my CPU @4.4Ghz, what would be the recommended RAM frequency to use, should I buy a a pair of 1600 Mhz, 1866 or even higher, 2133?

Really, the best formula is a combination of clocks /and/ timings. A low clock with low timings is not ideal, likewise, a high clock with high timings is also not good.
but, tl;dr, just get the 2133 as long as the timings aren't over 11.

Buy a 6700k and 3800mhz ddr4 for the same price instead

Ok, I'll try to get a 2133 11-11-11-30 then.

Yeah... and where do you get that kind of deal?
Here, I can get both a 4790K and 16gb of ram for less than the cheapest 6700k I can find.

I would also like to know where your getting that deal. I was looking at the 4790k just as I saw this thread
1600MHz is generally where the advantages of high memory clock are maxed out. get a 1600MHz kit with low timings.
i also believe DDR4 hits this wall at 2666MHz
Higher hz is better. Fallout 4 gets a 25% framerate boost when going from 1300 to 2100 iirc

Not him but keep in mind that this is the only game where RAM speed has shown any real difference
>>51558766
Any link on that pease?
>>51558793
This isn't true. There are other games. Lost Planet for example had a 5fps boost for example.
>>51558793
This. I forgot to mention it in the post.

It was the first Google result, and they quote digital foundry for the entirety of it

Do you mean CL latency isnt over 11?
fuck
