That's a load of bollocks. HWBOT has been running 2.1v DDR4 since Skylake first released.
It's a misconception, that vDIMM supplies the IMC; your motherboard is not supplying vDIMM to the IMC, the motherboard is supplying vDIMM to the DIMM's (1.5v in this case). VCCIO is the voltage that your motherboard supplies the IMC with, of which up to 1.25v VCCIO is perfectly safe (it will default to 0.95v). If you're still not comfortable, just manually bang 0.95v in for the VCCIO voltage and 1.0v for the VCCSA.
ASUS have also listed 1.65v RAM on the compatibility list of their 1151 motherboards with DDR3 support. I was running 1.65v 2400MHz DDR3 on my Skylake build.
Thanks bro. 1 last question - would you know what kind of fps would i be looking at in arma 3 with the 6100 a gtx 970 and 8 gigs of ram?
What speed is your DDR3 by the way?
tbh my build is wierd. i have a 8 gb of 1600 MHz and 4 gb of i dont know what becouse it is some shitty brand i cant find the speed to so i don't mind if i just take it out.
Wouldn't worry at all then, with 1600MHz (1.5v I'm assuming?) Your VCCIO/SA should be well within spec, but still, there's no harm in checking the voltages the first time you boot the computer up. Intel issued that warning about using 1.5v DDR3 because loading the XMP/AMP profile could cause the VCCIO/SA to go out of spec, but a lot of people took it as you absolutely can't use 1.5v+ DDR3 RAM because it'll kill the IMC... forgetting that 1.5v vDIMM has the grand total of fuck all to do with the IMC. Just make sure the VCCIO/SA don't go above 1.25v.
With Arma 3, you have a decent CPU for it but the other important thing that improves Arma 3 performance is RAM speed, the video card doesn't matter much at all. You should be able to play with the settings to get a constant 60fps in single player.
