I am quite sure I'll be buying this board and a 2600K, however, I'm unsure what RAM to get. I'm looking at this Corsair 2x2gb DDR 2000mhz kit: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145317

What I don't understand is how the RAM speeds fit with the unlocked multiplier and how this plays out.

Is it worth getting the 2000mhz kit over a 1600mhz kit? Or should I get a 8gb kit (2x4gb)?

I'd buy a 1600kit. 6gb or 8gb depending on what you use, Either way seems like Sandybridge memory benches absoulately kick butt!!

Fugger took it down at the request of a manufacturer!

Should be sorted & back up shortly so nothing lost.

I was just asking me the same.

[sin0822]

Thoughts on ram anyone? Aiming for 4-4.5Ghz 24/7

$163 - F3-12800CL7D-8GBRH - 7-8-7-24
$158 - CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8 - 8-8-8-24
$163 - CMP8GX3M2A1600C9 - 9-9-9-24

Leaning towards the GSkill at this point only because of the timings.

Prices are in $CAD

[sin0822]

I woudl go g.skill. Timings make a nice difference on these systems plus alows you to push 1866.

G skills cas7, im sure those corsair's could get clocked lower then those default timings though.. Cant go wrong tho 7gb for 163 @ cas 7

[zalbard]

Go with G.Skill, they have great bang/buck offers!

[Silver Bullet]

Thanks guys ... will go for F3-12800CL7D-8GBRH

@sin0822, This board was my first pic for P67, but looking at the layout, the top pcie x1 slot is useless for my sound card. If I use the bottom pcie slot for the sound card, and run sli/cf, both gpu's wont run at x16, or am I wrong on this? I like the new look and have always been happy with gigabyte boards. But to go along with the new look, a new/better layout would have been nice.

[Balb0wa]

yes crossfire and pci express sound card are a problem, wish they would sort the spacing out !

[bluc]

Do motherboards have to have anything special about them to boot from the pci-e slot? Will these and other P67 boards boot off a pci-e ssd?

Absoulately fine, Please dont get a PCIE ssd

[bluc]

I wish nah my cousin is also doing an upgrade as well mid feb and is set on pci-e ssd. I would be lucky to squeeze a 64gb 2.5 ssd out of my budget let alone a $1000+ pci-e monster

[Johnny87au]

lol true, When the g3 eventually comes out im sure prices will drop, I've seen quite a few 2nd hand ssds selling on several forums .. G3 + SB wonder how it will scale

[Atragon]

Well, I'm quite happy with what UPS unexpectedly dropped off today...



A box.




With awesome inside.

This will go nicely with the 2600K I managed to pick up on Boxing Day as mentioned here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...9&postcount=61

Now I just need to pick up my case from FedEx, order the watercooling gear for it, and I'll have a kickass system.

In the meantime, I suppose I could throw it all into a Sonata III I have lying around and take it for a spin.
