Okay so I have finally decided on what RAM I'm going to use with this system.
G.SKILL Sniper Series DDR3 2133MHz http://www.canadacomputers.com/produ...item_id=044973 I'll start with 8Gb and get another set next month. |

Hey welcome back!
![]() This DDR3 1866 1.5v kit may be a bit better for a BD setup: G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 S... My AMD systems don't really like 1.65v kits but I don't know a lot about memory... just going by what I might choose. Good luck w/your build

Every AMD DDR3 rig I've built gave me issues w/1.65v ram and no issues with 1.5v ram (so far). But like I said I don't know much about memory

Actually I did a bit of research and you're right. I will get the 1866's. Apparently lower voltages=less stress on the IMC when overclocking.
