Hi,
So the ram I am running in my system is 8GB Corsair DDR3 1600MHz
(http://www.ebuyer.com/248846-corsair-8gb-ddr3-1600mhz-vengeance-memory-cmz8gx3m2a1600c9)
The motherboard I am using is an Asus P8Z68- VLX
(https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z68V_LX/specifications/)
Could someone please explain what is going on?
I was going to be stupidly overkill and wack 32GB of ram in my machine. - Also low profile ram this time so I can fit the Dark Rock Pro CPU heatsink I have.
(http://www.ebuyer.com/407259-corsair-32gb-ddr3-1600mhz-vengeance-blue-memory-cml32gx3m4a1600c10b)
Would it be worth the extra money to put 2133Mhz ram in (http://www.ebuyer.com/697033-corsai...3mhz-1-20v-standard-dimm-cmk32gx4m4a2133c13)?
Thanks for any help,
Dan
