reusing ram with overclock

smilertoo · 13 Dec 2012 at 23:54

Hello,
I currently have a 1366 i920 system with the following ram: (4ghz)
Kingston HyperX Genesis 12GB (3x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Triple Channel (KHX1600C9D3K3/12GX)

Will i be able to use this ram on an overclocked ivybridge 3770k system? or do i need faster rated ram to push an overclock on these systems. (I know i need 1 more ram module for dual channel to work)

Thanks

Iirc, that kit is rated at 1.65v for 1600mhz, (had the same one myself). The ib platform uses ram rated at 1.5v. I cant see it working in an ib setup tbh. But, 8gb is more than enough in the new platform, and ram is pretty cheap at present. Running 16gb of 1600mhz corsair vengeance here, bit overkill but it was so cheap.

can you recommend any that's good for overclocking on ivybridge; not looking for super fast...just ram that's stable on an overclocked system.

Im using corsair vengeance low profile 1600mhz, been good so far.

That ram should work on ib with say 1.6v @ 1600mhz.
