I see no reason why they wouldn't work. Also, all parts are different, your set of RAM may overclock very different than someone else's, you can't really compare easily.

IMO 1600Mhz ram is fast enough on core i7, due to triple channel and the 965 has up to 10x multiplier which works nicely on a 160Mhz bclk, and my memory can get to 1800mhz anyway at around 1.6V. But if that isn't too expensive it will allow alot of flexibility with overclocking.

Was it perhaps you that killed it? What sort of memory voltages were you using for that? Was it the same G.Skills I am using?
