1.65 is fine with that cpu fella as long as your MOBO bios is up to date and you will need to manually turn it down and set it up to run.


200x20 will give you memory options for 1600 and 2000mhz memory.


2000mhz will need QPI volts set to hold that speed but you will have to see how you get on. Your CPU and your abilities in the BIOS will be what will limit cpu and memory speeds.


200x20 should be epic though (high BCLK is important and dont drop the multi too much)
