Hi guys just want to know ether the asus p6t deluxe will be able to use 1800mhz ddr3...or will i be wasting my money if i buy it?

Hi there

Yes it can, it has divider options in the BIOS to run memory at speeds ranging between 1333MHz-2200MHz.

Remember though Intel warn putting past 1.65v through the memory may reduce lifespan.

re

i noticed that certain types of ram have a voltage number next to them,for example....

Corsair 2GB DDR3 Dominator 1800C7DF

this ram has a vdimm ov 2.0v

does that mean that this ram has been tested at this frequency running at 2.0v?

If the answer is yes the does that mean that this ram will be fine to run at 1.65v and above?

Hi there

No no no!

You need to buy one of the kits from the X58 Triple channel section, those are designed to work with I7 and operate better at lower voltages.

If your a veteren overclockers and ***know*** what your doing then go with the Cellshock OcUK pre-tested stuff, otherwise go with the Corsair or OCZ 1600MHz kits and clock those up a bit.

What about the G.Skill triple DDR3 sets... any experience on how well they clock?
