you're sure about that mobo?

im going to overlclock that cpu to around 4.0/4.5 hopefully.

 

[seumasbeathan]

Why wouldn't I be sure? It is a high end board, easily capable of allowing 4.5ghz

ah

well the only thing i see is the mobo supports 1333 MHz, 1066 MHz ram speeds.

is it automaticly gonna change to 1600 in the bios when i insert 1600 ram? or do i need to set it in the bios itself?

thanks in advance.

and yeah about the ROG mobo.. it looked just much ''cooler"
but yeah lol.

 

[seumasbeathan]

Where you seeing that about the ram? This is what I see - DDR3 1066/1333/1600/1866*/2000*/2133*(OC), 2200*/2400*/2600*/2667*/2800* (OC, 22nm CPU required)

or this one? http://www.pixmania.be/be/nl/11984000/art/gigabyte/geforce-gtx-670-2-gb-gddr.html

http://www.pixmania.be/be/nl/12776474/art/g-skill/pc-geheugen-ares-2-x-4-gb.html

( looks better with blue mobo )

and heard gskill is great.

 

[seumasbeathan]

I prefer Gigabyte, and it will work fine with ram above 1333mhz, and the Corsair ram is blue to? I think it would look better tbh

Ah thanks
oh and nevermind i was a bit confused about the ram
ill go for the gskills.. ( enough room to replace cpu cooler to noctua in the near future maybe )

Would you take the ssd ? or isnt the the money worth it?
games load faster.. OS itself?

should i use it for games or the os?


thanks again..

 

[seumasbeathan]

Use it for games and os, and yes it is certainly worth it

I was going for the Sabertooth aswell, check out the MSI Z77 MPower, you'll love it! Same price as Sabertooth, much batter in terms of overclocking, reliability and durability.

and did you changed the 2x Front Fans ?

thanks.
