Sooooooo I bought an i3 about 5 years ago from OCuk in a bundle and its done really well, great budget system and only now 5 years later is it causing me grief. So i bought an i7 870 and new mobo and some 1833 Geil RAM.
i7 870 @2.93 runing at 4.0 (have had 4.2 but RAM fell over)
Geil EVO VELOCE Dual-Channel Memory DDR3 1866 RAM 16GB 2 x 8GB GEV316GB1866C9DC
Asus P7P55D_EVO
I have the CPU @ 4ghz stable (the new ram hasn't arrived yet) so the RAM is at 666mhz atm
Does anyone have some good advice for the OC on this bad boy?
I've read some guides and tried some stuff and read that 1866 is pretty much the max RAM my CPU can take.
The reason I have an older processor is it will become a server, to replace the old core 2 duo server at home later in the year and I didnt feel a haswell-e was warranted!
