Hi there, im building a new system with the current specs:
MSI 790FX-GD70 Motherboard
AMD X4 965 BE 3.4Ghz
2 x Radeon HD4890
2x WD VelociRaptors in RAID
2x Samsung 1TB Drives
Corsair HX1000W Power Supply
I was going to be using the G.Skill Ripjaw 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C7 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (F3-12800CL7D-4GBRH) [F3-12800CL7D-4GBRH] times two for my RAM how ever i cannot find any stock anywhere. My question is this, could i use the higher rated 2000mhz modules and underclock them to 1600mhz and get 7-7-7-24 timings? (or even better) Im a complete noob when it comes to over/underclocking RAM. As a side note my MOBO states it supports up to 2133mhz Memory but i cant find what voltage is supported.
Oh and im located in the UK, with Overclockers being the only company i could find supplying G.Skill Products (albeit not many unfortunately).
Thanks in advance for any help!
Ben.
