You will be surprised as to what ram works well and that it is actually quite cheap.
If you want killer overclocking ram for the RIVE platform, get some Samsung green.
Samsung Green 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz 30nm Dual Channel Kit MV-3V4G3D/US
You will pay under £50 for that kit, and you are most likely (CPU IMC dependant) going to get 2600MHz with little effort.
Not going to be too tight for Super PI but no-one makes PCS or BBSE any more. And BBSE and PSC are the good memory to get for benching on SB or IB. So go for frequency
🙂 Overclocking Features (Not Guaranteed)- 1600MHz (7-8-8-24 1N) @ 1.40v
- 1866MHz (9-9-9-27 1N) @ 1.40v
- 2000MHz (9-10-10-28 1N) @ 1.45v
- 2133MHz (10-10-10-28 1N) @ 1.45v
- 2400MHz (11-11-11-28 2N) @ 1.50v
- In our own in house testing we were able to achieve all the above clock speeds on an Asus X79 platform with 4x4GB modules (16GB total) SuperPI Stable too, 32M
