What ram to use with a rampage II MB?

[Tetsuiga]

i remember reading somewhere that these boards support ddr 1600, but somewhere else i read that they were only able to overclock the ram that high.

Mother board is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131352

ram is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145224

That should be ok, you might also want to consider OCZ XMP Ready Series 6GB.

You may need to tinker with the BIOS a little to get the Corsair to run at 1600, but it shouldn't be a problem.

I got the same mobo and the same sticks and the system runs very well. I though about getting the corsair 1866 stick which were $170 more then the 1600 once. Its good that i didnt buy the 1866 waste of $. I only got the system setup 5 days ago so i didnt have time to OC with the i7 920 cpu. Also the corsair 1600 will run great with the evga motherboard.
