So I've currently got crucial 2x1G sticks running at 1600 with 8-8-8-24 timings. Just for fun i decided to see how 1333 would run and I got it to run at 6-6-6-18 timings with a small v boost. I can't really tell the difference between the two what so ever, so I was wondering if it would be a smarter choice to just go with 1333 based ram and tighten it up more or go with 1600 based ram and if I ever want to drop it to 1333 I can. This is what I'm looking at:

I don't expect speeds to go much above 1600 due to it being an unlocked chip, I've tried these sticks and they can't even hit 1666. I'm pretty sure it's the IMC because I had to up it (volt) for stability even at 1600, though it runs fine and has for a while (never had a crash unless I OC it). So that's my current predicament, I'm leaning towards teh 1600 as it's only $5 more and I could probably just downlclock it to 1333 if I ever wanted to test that out. Anyways, insight would be appreciated.
System is current in sig.
