| 1142976 | 2010-10-09 16:46:00 | Even if I get an i7 with a good motherboard I can't go any higher then DDR3-1333 without overclocking and I sure don't want to do that with an i7. Is this true? | lostsoul62 (16011) | ||
| 1142977 | 2010-10-09 18:40:00 | And why is this a problem? | pctek (84) | ||
| 1142978 | 2010-10-09 21:42:00 | I have 4gb DDR3-1333 on an AMD AM3 motherboard running at 670mhz not overclocked and it's fine for me :) | SoniKalien (792) | ||
| 1142979 | 2010-10-10 11:06:00 | why don't you want to overclock? IIRC I can run my memory @ 1600Mhz without overclocking, but I pretty much overclocked it as soon as I could turn it on, so I could be wrong... | Deimos (5715) | ||

If you are running 1600Mhz without over clocking would you please send me an article or something saying that you can do this because as I said in my post "Is this possible" Memory is so fast why would you want to over clock it. That would be like buying a new car and boring out the pistons to make it go faster. |

| 1142981 | 2010-10-10 19:48:00 | Depends if the motherboard you use allows you to set the memory clock independently. | inphinity (7274) | ||

Ok first of all, car/computer analogies are stupid. second, overclocking is free performance (apart from the extra power consumed). So your rationalisation is, um, wierd? if you take your car analogy (which is still stupid) I bought a brand new i7 (default clock is 2.8) and OC'd it to 4.2Ghz, but since its new, your saying it is "so fast" already, so no need? also, running my memory @ 1600mhz is technically not overclocking it because it is rated to run @ 1600Mhz, if I was to run it faster than 1600Mhz, then THAT would be overclocking, at the moment I am only overclocking my CPU. |
