I will run the system at stock for now but will be OC down the road. Does anyone own this combo that has any input? I would also like to upgrade it to 8GB down the road. I have searched the forums but not many own the -E version of the board in question. I will have everything at my house but ram in the morning so.......


Thanks for your help.


Edit...... just in case this is what I have comming.

Right now, this = best deal IMO:

Lower voltage stuff for a few $$$ more.

I'm no G.Skill fanboi, but they really own the RAM market for bang for buck for the last while.

don't know much about ram but I'm thinking of getting the asus p7p55d-e pro and picking up this memory:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231321

Capacity 4GB (2 x 2GB)
Speed DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Cas Latency 7
Timing 7-8-7-24-2N
Voltage 1.35V

Seems like you get lower timing and voltage

Yup, another solid kit.

I was going to get the memory maddogchen was looking at but it was out of stock. With the information from both of you I ended up getting http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...800CL8D-4GBECO

It runs at Cas 8 but I can live with that. Running the 860 at stock I may be able to get Cas 7 we will see. Thanks again for the input guys.

I have that exact board and RAM. They work great together. Set the board to XMP and it found the settings immediately. Can't report on OCing yet, I need to get an 1156 waterblock still and I'm not in any big hurry because this thing is already fast as hell.

I would go for the 8GBs from the start if I were you. Upgrading your mem in the future may not be such a good idea. i7 processors are somewhat picky when it comes to populating all DIMM slots and since RAM prices are quite good right now why wait? It may be hard to get another identical pair of RAM modules later on. Even if your RAM is still available, some manufacturers tend to "improve" their products over time and do often release newer (a.k.a. different) revs. Have in mind that adding RAM later will most likely hurt your oc and mem timings this also means that you'll have to go to all the fuss and fine-tune your rig all over again.

Your right but my wife and me decided two years ago that we buy everything with cash or pay the card off that month so I only had so much to spend on the set up. So I went with 4GB...... I can always sell them down the road and buy a 8GB kit but this gets me up and running for now.
