intel core i7 4770 fsb

[kumarsaurabhraj]

Hello! I am quite new to hooking up rigs and this is my first build(earlier i had a lappy), I am an entry level developer too. I have bought intel core i7 4770 as a processor (i needed tsx, VT-d and other technologies which are not dre in 4770k) but i am confused about the mobo and ram. I have read that fsb plays an important role in hooking up rigs as it can change computer's performance dramatically. But where can i find fsb wirtten in the 775 days fsb was mentioned in the processor's specifications but now it is not so! (at least on intel's website). Do fsb depend on mobo also i am going to buy asrock z87m extreme 4 or asrock h87 pro4 what are thier fsb? and then from north bridge of the mobo to the ram the memory controller plays it part (correct me if i am wrong) so where may i find the memory controller frequency, what will be the memory controller for corsair 1600MHz 8 gigs (2*4GB) CL 9 ram and G.skill 8GB(2*4GB) 2133MHz cl11 ram?

FSB isn't really thrown around as much. Several clock frequencies and ratios exist within Intel's 4th gen architecture.

Short answer is, don't worry about it. Any LGA1150 board will work. Since you are not getting an unlocked processor you can get an H87 board to save a few bucks versus a Z87.

BCLK is 100Mhz by default (125, 137, 166, 200 available on some boards)
CPU ratio will be 100Mhz X 34-39 in your case.
Ring Ratio 100Mhz X 34 by default I believe, you can change this on some boards.
Ram ratios are based off of BCLK, but can be modified to a whole host of ranges. 1866 memory uses an 18.66 ratio as an example. 1600 uses 16, 2133 uses 21.33. Just set the XMP profile and you should b good to go.
