Hi all,
This is probably quite a newbish question. I was looking to get this mboard with my new build:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-236-GI
It says the following Triple Channel RAM is compatible:
DDR3 DIMM 2200 / 1333 / 1066 / 800 MHz
What confuses me is that there's no 2200 speed RAM sold on OC. There is 2000 and 1600. A friend suggested that 2000 would be compatible, but when overclocking the processor the RAM is clocked too, and anything over 2200 would mean the motherboard wouldn't be able to register it. Is it safest to go with 1333 and overclock it? Or would 1600 be possible and overclock that, seeing as it isn't such a huge jump from 1333 and wouldn't be such a strain on the memory?
Sorry it seems like quite a basic uestion
