Hi, I'm in the market for a ram upgrade. I have an i7 920 @ 4ghz, and am running 6gb of ram at 1520mhz (1600 rated). My motherboard is an MSI Platinum SLI X58 (with most recent bios)
I've come across two potentially great ram kit solutions and had some questions about them.
RipjawsX F3-12800CL9Q-16GBXM and RipjawsX F3-12800CL9Q-16GBXL
One runs at 1.35v and another runs at 1.5v.
From reading another thread I know they are different chips, but rated similarly spec wise.
I have an X58 that is generally runs ram around 1.65v, so can I run these ram kits?
Are both of these kits operable at 1.65v?
I've seen the 1.5v version capable of oc'ing to 1866-2133 speeds, and it's even been said it's possible (not guaranteed of course) by your forum representatives posting in replies on newegg.
So another question would be, are the about equal in oc'ing potential? Does the 1.35v have better properties in this regard due to it's lower voltage and perhaps possibility to run them at 1.65v? Is perhaps the 1.35v the better choice versus 1.5v version for overclockers?
Again I have an X58 motherboard, so my board can easily handle 1.65v thus my motherboard standard is higher than the newer sandy bridge 1.5v standard. So would the 1.35v chips be overclockable for this 1.5v standard motherboards, but give even more room for x58 boards than can push 1.65v safely?
Thank You
