I have a set of G.Skill 6GiB Ripjaws ram currently in my i7 system. I originally planned on adding a 2nd set of the same ram, but NewEgg has a sale going on today of G.Skill 12GiB Ripjaws for $5 less. Timings are very close to the 6GiB set, and for $5 less, I'm getting double the ram, so I'll have 18Gib of ram in the system. I'll be able to have a much larger ram disk then I planned, maybe even use it for an entire game install.
Anyway, currently I have the 6GiB set running @ 1440MHz, 8-8-8-24 2T CL8 @ 1.6V. It runs perfectly fine at those settings @ 1600MHz, I just never bothered to play around with the timings or voltage after attempting to o/c the CPU to 4GHz.
That 12GiB set has slightly higher timings and lower voltage requirements; 9-9-9-24 CL9 @ 1.5V.
I don't think I'd lose much setting all the ram to the 12GiB settings, especially considering I'm only running it @ 1440MHz compared to 1600, but what about the voltage for the total amount of ram installed? Think I'll need to fiddle with settings much, or can I just 9-9-9-24 CL9 (2T?) 1.6V it all and just be done with it?
