  • Is XMP profile ram necessary if not o'cl'k'g?

    I'm considering a new rig with a i7-950 and a GA-X58A-UD3R. I don't plan to o'clk, just some videography, photography, light CAD, and some extremely casual gaming. I'm a little befuddled when it comes to my choice for memory. In my case, does F3-12800CL7T-6GBPI have a real cost effective avantage over F3-10666CL7T-6GBPK?

    The PI's (1600) are faster than the PKs (1333) and also a slightly newer design. Additionally, if you wanted to run the PIs at 1333 you could probably run them at CL6, possibly CL5, so they are a bit more flexible.


    Pls offer comments on support I provide, HERE, in order to help me do a better job here:

      Thanx for the reply. I'll go with the PI, even though not many X58 MoBo's will run at CL5.
