KHX1866C9D3K4/16GX vs KHX1600C9D3K4/16GX

Hi

Planning this build/upgrade using a P9X79 and 3930K.

Is there any real benefit to using the 1866 parts over the 1600 parts or will they both overclock about the same?

Thanks

John

apart from speed, no, the 1866 is obviously faster, but i'm pretty sure that sandybridge E won't really make use of it. (i may be wrong, not too hot on SB-E and memory speeds tbh)
