how to know if the memory i choose will work with my motherboard?

If you have 1600mhz cas7 1.5v ram then you could probably get 2000mhz cas8 1.65V (just estimating)

OR

1600mhz cas8 1.65V you might get 1800mhz cas9 1.65v

awesome, im gonna try and find some 1.25v or 1.35v
when i so get round to OC what kind of cooling would i need? ( i have no idea how to do that crazy but awesome looking water cooling)

 

[brandonwh64]

1.25V will be hard to find since there was only 1 on newegg and i dont know UK providers that have a large inventory such as newegg

if you can get some 1.35V Cas7 1600mhz Gskills then you will be in business

The thing is OCing the memory for the Sandy Bridge brings close to zero performance increase in real life apps. Or am I wrong?
