Hi. I've read a couple of recommended set-ups online and come up with this question:
Why you guys use a memory with a rated speed of 1600MHz instead of 1333MHz to use with i7-860 which only support up to 1333MHz? Is this an overkill?
I'm looking into buy a kit of 2x2GB memories for P55-UD4P and i7-860. I wonder which memory will perform better in the real world (I don't over clock, but I'm willing to go to BIOS and adjust the memory timing):
1) 1600 MHz with 7-7-7-24
2) 1333 MHz with 7-7-7-21
3) 1600 MHz with 8-8-8-24
It seems that 1) is better than 3), but how about 1) vs 2), and 2) vs 3), all on i7-860 system without OC?
