Hi,
I'm building a new system and I'm aiming to overclock my 2.66ghz i7 920 as much as I can. I bought some 1600mhz ddr3 to have some headroom, as the default base clock of the 920 times the default memory multiplier makes it 1066mhz.
Of course I want to ensure the system is stable at the stock CPU speed. So, I guess I'm going to have to manually configure the memory settings to make it match the stock speed of the 920. What settings should I be concerned with? What timings is 1066mhz memory supposed to work on, given that normally the memory I use is 9-9-9-24 at 1600mhz? What about the voltage for 1066mhz?
Thanks
