Hi all, just ordered the following:

Maximus VIII Formula Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard

Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail

HyperX Predator 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Quad Channel Kit - Black
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/king...d-channel-kit-black-hx432c16pb-my-26m-ks.html

I wasn't sure what memory to get and went with the kingston one but it says compatible with (LGA 1155 / LGA 2011-3 ), will this still be compatible with the cpu I ordered? (LGA1151).

Also are the other parts ok to go with each other?

Thanks.
 
Sorry ExRayTed, my browser is playing up again (try to quote people in firefox brings an empty box up).

Anyway, would you say there is much difference in memory speed between 3200mhz to the ones you posted eg 3000mhz / 2400mhz? I know must people will say it will help in benchmarking numbers only but surely there must be some real world gains by having a slighter fast clock speed? :confused:

Thanks for the confirming the parts compatibility too by the way ;)
