Processor Mobo Im mainly going to be using this computer for gaming and also some video editing. The mobo i have picked out only supports up to 1333 MHZ ram. The question i have, is should i find a different mobo that supports 1600 or stick with the one i have picked out. Thanks for the help :D | ||

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/memory/display/sandy-bridge-ddr3_7.html#sect0 http://techreport.com/articles.x/20377/3 If you're not overclocking. Why are you getting such an expensive motherboard? A H61 or H67 motherboard for sub $100 is perfectly fine. | ||

Yes, RAM speeds are on their own and any p67 or z67 will be able to handle speeds far above 1333 mhz regardless of model or CPU. Will it make the computer faster? Not by much. | ||

for ram i found you this here if you will get another mobo! here and this if you want to keep this mobo! theyre both 8gb, and that will be good enough for you, cause actually 2-4 is good nowadays, so 8 will be better for video editing! | ||

RAM clock over 1333 isn't even vaguely important on a Sandy Bridge system unless performance in synthetic benchmarks is important to you. $90 is overpriced for 8GB. | ||

RAM doesn't get hot quickly or easily, unless your overall cooling is retarded to begin with. RAM without a good heatsink will do just fine if you have good CPU cooling and airflow. Basically, you're wrong about it being important, and should stop trying to make yourself correct via repetition. No matter how many times someone says 1+1=3, the underlying truth doesn't change. Pointless purchases will always be pointless purchases. Higher clocked RAM with heatsinks won't have any significant performance gain for him. Anyways, the majority of RAM gets made with chips from the same handful of manufacturers, most of what you get with the brand you choose is support related. | ||

RAM doesn't tend to get to any dangerous heat without external forces, such as poor system cooling overall and high ambient temperatures. RAM that supports a higher clock won't even matter for overclocking on Sandy Bridge, because you use the CPU multi instead of Base clock. | ||
