the site that im talking : http://www.magicpc.fr/composants/memoires_PC_DDR-SDRam/G.Skill_RipjawsX_Sand_Bridge__8_Go__F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM/p-19557/

for my setup...

Motherboard: P8Z77-V LK
CPU: i5 3570K Ivy Bridge

No problems. The gskill at 1.5v should work fine with most Intel chipset boards for sandy or ivy bridge systems. The motherboard may default to 9-9-9-24, the most common timings, but use whatever timings run the smoothest. You can set them manually if needed. My asus h61 board runs smoothly with gskill ripjawsX ram.

Maybe not; newer boards may default to your faster timings; try it first and check with cpuz. It will report 1600 ram as 800, but the timings are accurate. If your board doesn't run well or has stability problems at 8-8-8-24, just run it at 9-9-9-24; the speed difference is small.

is it better to buy 9-9-9-24 right away to be sure then ?
