Hey I look at some mobos and some say 1600(OC)
Would this mean that normal 1600mhz memory would work or not because I see some mobos which dont have the (OC)?
Thanks

Doesn't the 1600 apply to the CPU? It usually means that the motherboard doesnt normally operate at that speed but is guranteed to if you overclock it.

Memory will only run at recommended speed only when the cpu is overclocked, but the memory will work at reduced speed.
