What is the right ram to pick ?

[adil85]

am going to buy core i7 980x and maybe i will overclock but not much say maximum 3.6 or 3.7 so i wanna know how to figure the right ram (mhz,latency)

2-should i buy ocz platinum or kingston hyperx (the only two available where i live )

I would buy the Kingston HyperX at 1600MHz at CL8 or CL7 or whatever's availiable
but would stay away from OZC

And make sure your mobo supports the ram you intend on buying

If you can afford the 980 ..... your budget will certainly allow buying the best you can get. With these CAS 6 currently at CAS 7 prices, jump on it quick.

I don't see you OC'ing past 200 BCLK w/o LN2 and DDR3-1600 is just fine for that:


Stock
133 BCLK x 25 CPU Multiplier = 3.33 Ghz
133 BCLK x 8 CPU Multiplier = 1067 MHz

20% OC
160 BCLK x 25 CPU Multiplier = 4.00 Ghz
160 BCLK x 10 CPU Multiplier = 1600 MHz

Seems like BCLK of 160 will get you way past where you wanna be and is stable. Past that you'd prolly have to cut CPU multiplier

if i were you, i will choose kingston.
it is bigger and better than "o"
i thought "o" only concern their SSD product now.
