[SOLVED] Compatibility with i5-9600k

[1kris930]

The following link will provide you with information on what my build looks like (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZYVn6R). I am trying to figure out what I need to do to get the ram to run up to spec. I read someplace on the internet that it should automatically perform as intended and then I read somewhere else that I may need to O.C.

The partpicker website tells me " The Patriot Viper Steel 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-4400 Memory operating voltage of 1.45 V exceeds the Intel Coffee Lake Refresh CPU recommended maximum of 1.35 V+5% (1.417 V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.35 V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum."

Does that mean the RAM is not compatible or do I need to do something in the bios?

Im not sure if the 9600k supports ram that fast, and generally from what i know about these chips, the return on memory past 3000 is minuscule

here is a few links on the subject.

pretty much from patriot:
"If you have an “enthusiast-grade” high-end motherboard like the Asus ROG Maximus (IX, X, XI) Apex series, then you should be able take full advantage of these sublime memory modules from Patriot, and run them at the full speed of DDR4-4400"

Given the build I have, what would you recommend that I do? Is it possible to get 32GB of memory for that price (there around).

Sounds like 2666Mhz is the best bet...
