Yeah.... Bought new RAM today, CL 11 and no heatsink but hell it was 160e for 16GB, worth it imo.
Didn't work. At first, I got super mad and went berserk on google. You don't ****ing believe what caused the memory errors. My cooler, Corsair H110 has 3 fan wires, two of them are 4 pin and one 3 pin. I had plugged the 3 pin one into a socket with 3 pins. Turns out I had to plug it into the 4 pin one right damn next to it. PC booted instantly, now installing Windows.
Mother****er. I could swear so much, I bet the earlier RAM I had would of worked just fine too, what's the damn difference between a 3 pin and a 4 pin fan things? Jesus christ.
Thanks for all the help, you made it so much easier.
E: Oh and the final list of parts I ended up picking goes somewhat like this:
Intel i7 3820
GTX 780 ti
Asus P9X79
Corsair H110 cooler for i7
Seagate 2TB Barracuda 7200rpm
Kingston KVR16N11/8 1600mhz 8gb sticks times two
Some olde Kingston SSD I picked up a while ago, 250'ish gb
Thermaltake SMART 850W - 80plus Bronze modular stuff
and a Thermaltake Chaser Mk1 to fit it all in, I love this case. Too bad my mobo lacks any internal USB 3 connectors so I can't get the stuff on the case to work.
The estimated price I went for was 1600-1800e but I think it went up to 2000e due to a few variables (having to buy from different places when stocks went out for example)
That's all I think, and my windows just finished installing too.
