Anyone know how well a dominator Ram fan would sit with the MSI p55 motherboard?
I am now wondering about say an MSI P55 GD65, with an i7 860 and 4Gb Dominator GT 1600Mhz C7 (well it's nice n red with a wee fan LOL).
I assume that should do 4Gb OC with ease? But would it be better than an AMD 955 or i7 920 option? (this set up would have to be worth it over an AMD 955 system as I would have to sell a couple of nice bicycle parts to fund it!)
Indeed is OC'ing an i7 860 worthwhile? Do you lose some other functions and benefits?
I had seen a link somewhere showing the i5, i7 ranges and the 965 compaired in benchmarks on some site like Toms hardware or such, but can't find it?
And sorry about all the various threads and questions guys, I am just so indecisive.
