I've currently got a 4770K with Corsair H100i on an Asus Z87 Deluxe/Dual board which I intend to overclock. However, i'm still bedding in the system and stress testing at this stage.

I'm re-using some 2yr old Corsair XMS3 9-9-9-24 RAM (4x4GB) 1600MHz which will only pass Prime95 (for 1hr) if I disable XMP and it runs at 1333MHz.

Does anyone have any RAM recommendations (also 16GB or 8GB - and will this have any negative effect ingame?)

I've also experienced bad capacitor whine when the system is on or off - could this be related to the Motherboard? Should this motherboard be a good one for stability and overclocking, or would you have recommended another?

Thanks in advance!
 
Just realised you said you had the Asus z87 Deluxe - i've been having other issues with the system stuttering and hanging (and sometimes locking up requiring hard reset). I'd wager that you will have encountered that before?

I've tried literally everything (and bought the RAM and a new PSU to test to resolve); my next step will be a new motherboard and/or CPU.
