Fastest ram to overclock i5 750

[Guest]

Hello, I'm building a i5 750 system and would like to buy whatever RAM is considered the most overclockable/stable. I have read lots of articles on this, but still don't really understand all the factors involved. Does anybody have any recommendations they can make? Ideally I'd like to just be given a make and model number I can go out and buy.

G.Skill Ripjaws 2x2 GB 1600 mhz CAS Latency 7 $115

The most important spec is the CAS Latency (timings). After that, you need to consider speed. A P55 board defaults to 1333 mhz, and you generally won't need to go above 1600 mhz when overclocking.

The description of the RAM in the link you sent says:

Ripjaws Series memory is designed specifically to complement Core i7 processors and the X58 Express Chipset.

Does this mean performance for i5 750 isn't so great?

Nope. Just marketing

Just out of curiosity, how does it compare with GSKILL Rip Jaw 2000MHz Memory?
