Hi i recently purchased a intel i7 2600 and i am also looking for a cheap motherboard. I already have 3x2gb chaintech apogee blazer gt ddr3 2000 ram and would like to know if it's posible to run the ram at 2000 mhz on a motherboard without overclocking since you cant overclock this cpu, or is it possible to just overclock the ram? I have the ECS P67H2 - A3 http://www.bonanzatech.co.za/product.php?id_product=3241 in mind, witch support memory speeds of 1866MHz(PC3-15000) and only 2133MHz(PC3-17000) oc. Your help will be appreciated.
