I'm putting together a system with the Asus Rampage Extreme IV board. (CPU i7-3930K) The specs say this for supported memory:
"DDR3 2400(O.C.)/2133(O.C.)/1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz Non-ECC"
I'm a little confused on what to buy. Should I buy 1866 RAM, and when I overclock, it will perform at higher speeds (like 2400)? Or are they saying that in order to have the memory keep up with the computer when overclocking, I need to buy faster RAM (2400)?
Does that question make sense? Obviously there is a price premium for the faster stuff. Would love it if someone could explain this to me and help me make the right decision...
Thanks!
Mike
