I recently ordered a new MB, CPU, and Memory to upgrade my aging Core 2 Duo system, I went with:
Gigabyte P55-USB3 (which was DOA, now in the process of being refunded)
4GB of GSkill F3-17600CL7D-4GBPIS
Intel Core i5-750
The ever popular Hyper 212+
I read some more reviews about USB3.0 and SATA 6GB bottlenecking and decided I should probably try and future proof this a bit more, one article references the MSI P55-GD85 but in reviewing the specs, it only lists DDR3 2133 (O.C.) as the maximum speed allowed..
Could I put the DDR3 2200 in and would it work and/or downclock to 2133? What is another good board (under $220ish) that would support the 2200, or should I RMA the memory as well and go with something lower? I do plan on overclocking the i5-750 to at least 3.6Ghz.
Thanks in advance for the advice and suggesstions!
