Hi Guys,
I'm looking to upgrade my Core 2 machine to i7. The parts I need is a new motherboard, CPU and memory, my aim is to oveclock to 4Ghz.
Old parts:
Geforce 8800GTS 640
FSP Bluestorm II 500W (if I remember correctly..I know it might too weak but I thought I'd give it a try)
New Parts:
CPU: i7 920 DO
Memory
I thought I'd go for 1333Mhz CL7...instead of 1600Mhz...If i Understand it correctly...it won't limit my overclocking..I just need to have a lower ratio on the mem..
12Gb of OZC Platinum 1333Mhz CL7 http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr3_pc3_10666_platinum_low_voltage_triple_channel
Are there any problems using 12Gb on 6 sticks and overclocking?
Motherboard: Gigabyte EX58-UD5 or EX58-UD4P/EX58-UD4
My other alternative is go really budget and get the EX58-UD3R and the cheapest 6Gb of memory I can find...
Any advice that could help is much appreaciated, thanks!
