Hey, got a quick question for you. I saw that the dell inspiron has PC3-14900 DDR3 1600Mhz ram, according to the dell reps, and the CPU supports up to 1600Mhz max supposedly.
So if I get the 1866Mhz ram, PC3-14900, I can't use it to that clock speed, because the CPU won't allow it right? I mean the mobo I'm getting supports OC well above 1866, but didn't know if you could forcefully OC the ram. At this point, I'm still trying to figure out if I can OC the CPU as well in the new rig. I know that the mobo/bios usually lets you do that or you need some sort of program but not entirely sure.
But lets say the rig won't support up to 1866 what so whatever, and my clock speed is 1600, it's generally better to keep 1866 ram just so it doesn't have any problems right?
Have you ever OC'ed your ram or CPU on your current rig?
