[gonzalopino25]

Hello, I wanted to know an opinion about my recent purchase, here is what i bought

im planning on using it for 3d rendering. video card-> gaming, those memory where on sale
cause my reseller gave it to someone else the gskill ripjaws 16gb 1600 that where for me


Motherboards- ASUS P8P67 LE

Intel® Core™ i7-2600K Processor

EVGA GTX 560 2gb

(2x)Mushkin 2x4gb Ddr3 1600 Redline 1.65v (16 gb total)

Win 7 ultimate - 64bit


and here is the rest im planning on buying tomorrow:

650w power supply(antec,thermaltake,corsair)

cpu cooler: 212 plus or CM n520

CM 690 II advanced, or cm 690 II nvidia edition.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted to know issues in using 1.65v memory, and how is my build overall.

and what tweaks i probably should do, or what components should i take a look at,
i can still change the second part, cpucooler,powersupply and case.

thanks in advance

1.65v RAM will void your CPU warranty. Sandy Bridge CPUs need 1.5v RAM. The memory controler is on the CPU itself and not the motherboard like in older generation chips. I have seen 1.65v RAM cause instability issues when overclocking Sandy Bridge chips and it can damage the CPU.

Do not buy a Thermaltake power supply. Antec and Corsair are fine along with Seasonic, PC Power and Cooling, XFX, Enermax, Silverstone and OCZ. Stick with those brands for a quality unit.

The Hyper 212+ is decent but if you can get a Hyper 212 Evo then that's even better. The Evo will cool 4 to 5 degrees cooler than the 212+.

anort3, thank you for your answer, can you explain about that memory controller you mention,
where do I configure as you mention on the cpu itself, can i still use the same memory I purchased
and reduce voltage from 1.65v to 1.5v?? 2x(Mushkin 2x4gb Ddr3 1600 Redline 1.65v)

about the cpu cooler, what about Cooler Master N520 isnt it better than Hyper 212+? evo is out of stock here
