Hi, I was wondering, because I just got my i7 950 and XMS3 Corsair DDR3 @ 1600 mhz... at what mhz can the i7 950 (UN-OCd) support this RAM? At the moment, the RAM is running at 1066 mhz and I would like to drastically improve that.

I'd either like to bring it up to 1600 mhz or close to that.

Also... I'd like to know which liquid cooling heatsink you guys would recommend. I was told the H50 was good, but am not sure.

When I get a liquid cooling heatsink and do overclock my CPU, what should the RAM be overclocked to?

Does anyone know the answer to at least the first question? :)

What memory multipliers are available in the bios? Is 1066 the highest you can select at 133bclk

I'm not sure where to check memory multipliers (or bclk) in the BIOS, and I have the option to set the DRAM frequency up to 2400 mhz at the moment.
