Ok guys heres my questions:
Im building a computer soon with:
core i7 2600k, msi p67 m65 mobo, ati radeon 6970, and a thermaltake frio cooler.
Im new to OC so I don't want to push my i7 2600k to anything over 4.4-4.5 because i don't want to mess with the ram. I've read everywhere that it is better to not fill all the ram slots for better performance when OC, but if I don't mess with the ram does this still apply? I mean, can I fill up all the slots and not have it affect the CPU OC? I will be using this computer for graphics as well as gaming so 16gb of ram could be useful, as opposed to 8.( my ram would preferably be gskill x series 1600)
Also if it turns out that I can fill all the slots because I'm not messing with the ram itself, should I switch out the frio for something else since ive read that it covers a ram slot?
