This will be for a rig that will be overclocked. I have heard a lot of people say just get Value RAM and use a divider, but what exactly is a divider? Also from what I have seen the Corsair Value Select reaches around 210MHz (on average). Would this affect my CPU's overclock at all? I don;t exactly understand the divider business.
I could buy RAM that does ~250 @ 2-2-2-5 for a little over $100, but I don't really feel comfortable using that much voltage for my memory. Especially with all the problems I have heard with the DFI board and UTT RAM.
The reason I am asking this is I want to save as much money as possible when builing my rig.
Also does the 10x multiplier really help with the 3200+? If not I may just get a 3000+ if it doesn't affect my max overclock.
I am trying to buy the cheapest componenets without losing performance or limit my max overclock.
Also when I say Value RAM I mean stuff like Corsair Value Select not Value VX. From my understanding there would be little real world performance gain from going with more expensive RAM and I could just use a divider with cheaper RAM and it wouldn't effect my max CPU overclock at all.
I am not looking to get high scores in benchmarks ro anything. I am just looking to build a good gaming rig for a cheap price since I am on a budget that I can overclock.
So again I am trying to just buy the cheapest components possible without losing overclockability or real world performance. There will be basically no difference between expensive low latency RAM and cheap Corsair CAS 2.5 RAM in gaming, but I have never overclocked before so I don't know if it will effect my overclock.
Also this will be my very first rig I have ever built and that is with I am a little worried about using so much voltage with my RAM. UTT RAM does look great considering the price and doing ~265 @ 2-2-2-5.
Could you guys help me out?
Also it seems there may be some problems with the Corsair Value RAM with the DFI?

Can anybody else confirm this?
