Hi. So Im currently putting together parts for a new pc. I have an i5-2500k and an ASUS P8P67 PRO Motherboard on pre-order.
I walked into a store yesterday wanting to buy this DDR3 1333mhz ram http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/con...sp?root=&LinkBack=&ktcpartno=KVR1333D3N9K2/4G for $46, but end up buying this 1600mhz ram http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=88 for $79 on the recommendation of the salesman that it will be better for overclocking.
I thought it would be rated for 1600mhz at 1.5 volts, however I read here http://gskill.us/forum/showthread.php?t=1387 from the Gskill tech that the default is 1.5V and is only good for DDR3-1333 and that 1600 needs 1.65 volts.
So am I correct in thinking that with the 2500k wanting ram running at 1.5v, I will not be able to get the higher priced ram I bought working at 1600mhz?
Ive never overclocked any component before, so any answers you can give me would be appreciated.
