My 2 main choices so far for RAM for a SB build are CORSAIR Vengeance (but I'm concerned with the height of the RAM not being able to fit under a Scythe SCMG-2100 heatsink) and G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series (but I hate the color...would much prefer blue or black).
I've read a review on overclockersclub about the Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB being able to be overclocked really well.
I'm a little confused as to whether or not you can use 1.65v or not on a SB MOBO. I'm pretty sure I've read that when people are overclocking the Ripjaws and Vengeance they increase the voltage to like 1.6-1.65v. Would I be able to use other kits that were @ 1.65v instead of 1.5v? Would I be able to get the Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB 1333 1.5v kit and OC it the same way? Or could I at least get it to 1600 9cl @ 1.5v?
I'm just trying to figure out my best options for price and performance (and being able to fit/looks).
Thanks,
