hey guys, stuck on buying memory.

OR

The price difference is only about £5. I want to use my PC for gaming and some engineering software use like CAD but which memory will aid in overclocking an i5 3570k better because I have read that the ivy bridge doesnt support above 1600mhz without overclocking the memory manually under bios.

OR theres this aswell with CL8 but 1600mhz and lower voltage

Thanks

neither memory is better for overclocking the k series are only cpu multiplier there is no fsb linked to ram overclocking as such (you can get 3 mhz on the fsb on a good day) i dont think its gonna make a big difference either way
