Why not buy some high frequency ram to start with...

I was think bout that as my board does surport up to 2200 mhz ram but not sure how it will run with the over clock am running on cpu.

I don't overclock my ram, I just stick it on a divider.

re:

Hi having read a little more over the net this ram can quite easily be overclocked so I set the voltage from 1.5 to 1.6 and set the ram 1800hz in the bios and all has been fine, even got my 7.9 windows score
Cheers all

My corsair xms3 6gb ram - voltage is set at 1.65 and 9-9-9-24 timming standed and @1600mhz my windows 7 score is at 7.9 aswell

I got my mobo with the cpu chip and ram allready in the board from over clockers which was allrerady been over clocked. i have since buying this over clock cpu ( i7 960 ) to 4.2ghz on h60.

iv tried to over clock ram to 1700-1800 to unstable blue screen.
