Hi guys,
First of all... I know that this question is a nonsense for most of you here, but I still have to ask you for a help.
My brother got ASUS Maximus V Extreme for his birthday and he is looking for DDR3. So I wanted to buy him 16GB Dominator GT, since it fits perfectly with this board (he doesn't like GSkill)! But why get 16GB 2133MHz RAM for 300$ instead of 1600MHz for 100$ or 150$? Let's say this is just a hypothetical question:
1. Will he be able to run this RAM stable at 1600MHz with 1.5V and CL7 on Maximus V Extreme together with with Intel i7 3770K? (this kit is not on MB memory compatibility list)
And second:
2. Some people said that they couldn't to run it at 2133MHz with 1.5V... voltage had to be increased to 1.6V in order make it stable? Is it true?
I will appreciate any kind of help and answer to those questions.
