Zero need for a RAM waterblock. It just adds unnecessary restriction.

+1 ^^

And get 1600Mhz ram. 1333 leaves a bit of performance on the table and the price difference between the two are negligible.

yea currently i can only use 1333 with my current cpu thats why i got that ram. wasnt expecting to upgrade this quick. and ram blocks ok
