Hey guys, building a PC with a friend (i5 2500k) an just seen that he's bought this (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-290-CS) RAM. It's 1.65V RAM and I know overclocking the 2500k needs around 1.5V, is there any temporary adjustments that can be made to make it work or does it need swapping out? Says that the RAM can run at 1.55V minimum, will that be alright?

Thanks, it will also overclock fine with that? (Only to around 4.2ghz)

Right, just installed the stock intel heatsink and it feels rather... Flimsy? Is that fine or should it be absolutely solid?

Yea it seems fine now, definitely not a fan (no pun intended haha) of the push pin method. It doesn't say anything in the manual about twisting the lock things

Been trying to get the motherboard in for about 30 minute now. It just doesn't want to fit, the standoffs supplied just seem too high for the things to fit through IO panel... Any suggestions to make it any easier?
