Hi,
I'm new here but loved the idea to assemble my own PC as there are too many boundaries bugging me with my laptop.
So I started creating this beauty:
Case
Intel Skull Canyon NUC Case (BOXNUC6I7KYK3)
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™ i7 Quad Core Processor i7-6770HQ (2.6GHz, 3.5GHz Turbo)
Motherboard
Intel NUC6i7KYK Ultra Small Form Factor (HDMI/mDP, USB 3.1, G/B LAN)
Memory (RAM)
32GB Corsair 2133MHz SODIMM DDR4 (2 x 16GB)
Graphics Card
INTEL® IRIS™ PRO GRAPHICS 580
M.2 SSD Drive
1TB SAMSUNG PM961 M.2, PCIe NVMe (up to 3000MB/R, 1700MB/W)
or so I thought, before reading on the Intel website that the motherboard is not compatible with Corsair CMSO32GX4M2A2133C15 Memory kit, which seems to be exactly the Value Select kit that is displayed in the selection page of the Configurator: http://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/support/boards-and-kits/000020648.html
So now I wonder:
(1) Why can I only choose from such a limited set of memory modules - after all, there is a wide range of fully compatible ones to choose from, but no option to do so in the Configurator.
(2) Why do I not get the full information on the memory modules, but only vague name and speed?
(3) How is a supposedly incompatible memory kit to work in the computer? I'm gonna need quite a bit of RAM for the tasks I have to do (high throughput data analysis), so the Corsair Value Select would be my only option, unless I order externally.
(4) Why is the Corsair Value Select module described as HyperX Impact?
I dearly hope there is an issue to solve this as I am highly inclined to order this computer, but I cannot do so if memory issues are to be expected.
A speedy reply and input from anyone who can help is highly appreciated
Cheers!
