Hi guys ,
I am looking at some point to overclock a new PC I am building, but not immediately. Therefore I want to make sure that I am buying the right components.
I will be getting the AS Z97 Extreme 4 MOBO which is capable of overclocking. I will make sure to allow for overclocking in my PSU calculation. But I am unsure if you must choose specific RAM if you are overclocking your CPU or if 1.5-volt DDR3-1600MHz (PC-12800) modules with CAS 9 timings (i.e. your standard memory) can be used for all overclocking frequencies and voltages?
What about graphics cards/hard Disks? Are they affected? Probably not I am guessing?
