Help
I've just put together a new rig courtesy of ocuk However I need to do something about the RAM.
The specs:
Intel core i5 2500k
Asus P8Z68V mobo
520w Corsair Modular PSU
antec case - I forget the model number
ATI 5850 (overclocked) GPU
Creative Labs Xi-Fi gamer audio
OCZ vertex 2E 60Gb SSD
Antec 620 Water cooler for cpu.
And currently this rig is sporting some second hand OCZ Spec Ops DDR3 ram, specced at 1600Mhz, but only runs at 1333Mhz on this mobo and seems to be causing some instability when overclocking the rig. On stock it's perfectly fine, as soon as the ASUS overclocking utility changes the RAM speed to anything higher than 1333 (even 1373) it starts getting memory management blue screens of death etc. Annoying.
So - first up, if there is a fix / way round this, please do let me know.
Secondly, I think I'm after new RAM for this and am unsure between the following:
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-15000C9 1866MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9)

and this:
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8)
