Let me start by saying I am not at the level most of you guys are. I have been following this thread from day one and have got a ton of great info. I am going to be building a new system from scratch and plan on using this board paired with a i7-920 for workstation use. I would like to over clock to the high 3ghz range on air. I was thinking about getting the Noctua NH-D14 for my cpu cooling. My main question is there any benefit to buying DDR 2000 over say DDR 1800? I was looking at the 6gb gskill ripjaw kit. Will having DDR 2000 make the overclocking go any smoother?
