Hey all,

Building my first I7/X85 build for a customer of mine and a couple of questions.
did some searching but confused:confused: myself more than answering them :)

1) would running memory at ddr 3 1600 @ 1.65v be fine. manual says max 1.6v
but reading that 1.65 should be fine

2) what would be better 3x1gb in triple channel(KHX12800D3LLK3/3GX) or 4x1gb(KHX12800D3/1G) in normal mode would be better

the build is going to use 32bit vista, don't know why he does not want to go with the 64bit so.
Primary use is gaming
