I'd guess under a high end water setup, on air that isn't happening, lol.

They only OC 32 mhz @ stock voltage, ramping up voltage would improve it's performance for sure...

I am sure you will be just fine but if you want to OC to 4.5ghz I think you would need higher speed RAM if those only OC 32mhz over stock. Even mine OC to 1800mhz so maybe look into the GSkill for some budget 1600mhz RAM. |

Thx, but does anyone know what multipliers does this board have?

Haha ya, ddr3 1600 seems to be the overclockers standard right now for i7. Anything less and you may run into walls. More is always gives you more OCing headroom but then its too much for a 24/7 OC so your just spending money on something you wont use. Sure you can run it faster but they are already running so fast it doesnt really improve performance. These memory chips dont OC as well as alot of DDR2 so you have to get the high performance from the start.

gen 1 ddr3 OC's great but the low voltage of I7 ddr3 doesnt allow for much of an OC
