Hello. I'd like to know the differences between the two following sets of ram, besides the prices (G.Skill Trident X and Corsair Vengeance Pro) I'm a fan of corsair and I've never utilized any G.Skill parts. I plan to put a h100i cooler with my i7 4770k, so will both fit on my motherboard? Thanks.

My new build will be primary for gaming/video editing/rendering.

Intel will only know whatever you tell them and 1.65 is fine if you are OCing, which you will need to do with 2400 sticks, I try to keep the MC (memory controller) within about .6 of the DRAM voltage with normal cooling, so generally for DRAM voltage 1.6 and above only use with 2133 and up sticks....

As far as GSkill and Corsair, GSkill is the trend and timings setter and has been for awhile in high end DRAM, Corsair has ventured into the higher freqs, but GSkill has had a few sets out for over a year, thta's about when I got my Tridents (2400/10 32GB) that I run on my Ivy Bridge, they also have sets up to 64GB in the Ripjaws Z lineup....I've run the Corsair 2400 and find that GSkill has more OC room.

What would happen if I were to use 1.55v? Also, I chose 2400 because the prices seem somewhat fair and it would be better for ram previews.

What else will you be doing?
I would recommend a decent 1.5V kit. If you are willing to spend more on a higher frequency then you should, but do not go above 1.55volt RAM.

I mentioned in my first post it will also be used for video editing and rendering. Just out of curiousity, could you show me where it says that the warranty is voided if you exceed 1.55 volts, please?

On the newegg page for the tridents, it says it's specialized and meant for 3rd generations such as the 3770k. That makes me worried....does that mean I won't be able to tap its full potential with my 4770k?

Yes, you will the line originated with the 3rd Gen Ivy Bridge but has also expanded to fill the needs of the even slightly more advanced MCs (memory controllers) isn the Haswell line, which is why the line now includes the variety of 2800, 2933 and 3000 freq sets

Hey, just wondering....with the tridents would I be able to lower the voltage down to 1.5v since intel doesn't recommend going with above 1.5v? And what would be the consequences of that...lower frequency?

Intel makes their suggestions/recommendations based on stock settings, with high performance DRAM 1.65 is perfectly fine....Out of my last 100 or so builds think basically all have been with 1.6 or 1.65 DRAM (had a few with 1866/1.5 but most have been 2133 and up going back to the release of the P67
