Alright guys well my system is currently running stable at 3.8ghz but I feel it can go higher, i belive its my ram holding me back. Right now im using 4x2gb sticks. So im trying to get rid of them and get 2x4gb sticks and see if I cant get a higher OC.
What should I look for in ram trying to get a higher cpu oc. Im leaning towards some pc12800 so i can get the 1600mhz out of it regardless if I run at those sppeeds or not. Id like to have the ability to do so even though ill probably be at 1333.
But as far as timings go, am I going to want to get ram with tighter timings that I can loosen to 9-9-9-24 or so while still having the ability to tighten if needed.
Or should i just go for soem cheaper stuff with timings already at 9-9-9-24?
