My current setup is the following:
Asus P8Z68-V Pro
2500K
980Ti
8GB RAM
Trying to eek a bit more time out of this rig before a complete motherboard, CPU e.t.c. upgrade, I thought I would upgrade the RAM after reading the 2500K article on Eurogamer last year. I tracked down a kit of 16GB DDR3 2400Mhz Corsair RAM for a decent price after a bit of searching. I now realize my CPU limits the speed of the RAM.
I was wondering, after I swap in the new RAM, will it automatically see it at the max of 1600Mhz due to the limitations of Sandybridge? Then I have to go and overclock it? 1866Mhz seems to be the optimum speed? Maybe try 2133Mhz.
