Hi
I have just ordered an Asus M4A79XTD EVO motherboard and need to buy some DDR3 memory to use with it and a phenom II X3 720.
As Ive heard phenom II's cant use DDR3 faster than 1333mhz, I am looking at 1333mhz modules with the lowest possible latency. These two below are rated at 7-7-7-20.
Kingston HyperX KHX1333C7D3K2/4G

OCZ DDR3 PC3-10666 Platinum AMD Edition

The only difference I can make between the 2 is that the the Kingstons look like they need to be manually set to 1.7v in the bios to achieve 7-7-7-20 latency. Is this a big deal or not and is it worth spending the extra $30 for the OCZ's?
Any other memory suggestions would be much appreciated, I would normally buy corsair but there 1333mhz range all has high latencies...
thanks
