Hello!
New guy here
I have three questions to ask about my purchase:
1)
As I am considering buying the Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z, 1155 socket with the Z68 chipset and I noticed the DDR3 memory speed was a maximum of 1600Mhz while on their website they say that 1866Mhz and 2133Mhz are overclocking speeds.
Should I buy 1600Mhz DDR3 memory modules and seek to overclock them or can I buy 1866Mhz or 2133Mhz if I seek to overclock the motherboard? Please help me understand this.
2)
Which property should I value more when buying memory modules or in what order?
Mhz, CL or GB ?
ex 1600Mhz with CL9 at SPD 9-9-9-27 and 32GB
3)
The final question is out of curiosity:
Why is this Corsair Vengeance model priced higher than the Dominator equivalent in what appears to be pretty identical products?
I was under the impression that Dominator was of higher quality or is there another reason?
The links below are actually reverse in pricing, but in Sweden the Vengeance model is on average priced about 35$ higher than the Dominator.
Which one should be used under which circumstances?
Can one rely on the stock heat spreader or are there airflow fans for them each?
Thank you!
