Yep. Perfect

Yep. Perfect

:) So, let´s see the whole configuration again: 1. Processor: i7 2600k LGA1155 3,4GHz 8MB2. Memory: 8192MB DDR3 2133MHz CL9 - to decide from CORSAIR or KINGSTON (I haven´t find it yet)3. Videocard: Asus NVidia GTX580 Matrix 1536MB DDR5 PCIE24. MB: ASUS P8Z68-V PRO LGA1155 DDR3-32GB SATA3 USB3 GLAN (sound coming from the Mobo)5. HDD: SSD 2,5P Corsair Force Series 60GB SATA2 280MB/s for Windows 7 - 64 bits, and another HD Sata of 1 TB for FSX6. Cooler: Water Corsair Hydro Series H807. Tower: MIDITOWER CORSAIR GRAPHITE CC600T BLACK8. PSU: Corsair TXV2 850W PFCACT 12CM 80Plus-Bronze It´s ok? If I can´t find that memory, maybe 1600MHz with CL7 would be good for overclocking as well? harpsi

Yep. Excellent. If you can't get that RAM, look for a 1600 CL7 kit as you suggested. Try stick to good brands (Corsair, mushkin, kingston, gskill etc)

a - Corsair PC3-12800 4GB XMS3 CL7 (1x4GB) DDR3 [CMX4GX3M1A1600C7] b - G.Skill Sniper DDR3 2x4GB 1600MHz CAS7 1.6v Low Voltage - F3-12800CL7D-8GBSR I found this ones. In this case I should buy two sticks. Is this good? harpsi

These ones are 2 x 2 GB. I need modules of 4 GB, each, right? harpsi

Yes. So you'll need to get 2 of whichever kit you choose. You probably wont be able to fit both fans on the ram, but 1 should be able to cover all 4 sticks

I didn´t understand what do you mean by "fans on the ram". Sorry harpsi

With the corsair kit I linked (first link) there are fan attachments for the ram (see the pic). If you buy 2 of these kits (so you have 8GB instead of 4) you'd end up with 4 ram sticks and 2 ram fans. But I think the fans are too big to fit 2 of the attachments to the sticks, so you'll only be able to use 1.

So, better to buy two sticks of 4 GB. For overclocking the i7-2600k is better 1600MHz CL7 or 2133MHz CL9? Or it makes no difference? harpsi

The Corsair 2133MHz is probably better because you could keep those clocks on the ram and lower the timings like what Corey Meeks has done. Its not necessarily better to buy 2 sticks of 4. The only option I think you have is 4 sticks of 2. The only disadvantage is that you'll only be able to use one of the RAM fans instead of 2.

But to overclock your processor, do you need to touch on the ram or everything comes automatically?

Why 4 sticks of 2 and not 2 sticks of 4? That´s what I don´t understand, specially because a lot of opinions on this thread are going to 2 sticks of 4GB. harpsi

http://www.pixmania.com/pt/pt/10069901/art/asus/p8z68-v-pro-socket-1155-c.html And it says here that this board only supports 1600MHz and not 2133MHz. Is 1600 the maximum or the minimum? harpsi

Correct. I would stay away from 2GB modules if at all possible. Populating all four memory slots sometimes leads to memory instability and often requires more dram voltage. The Pro will support 2133MHz memory just fine - you just have to manually set it to 2133 in the bios.

Ok. So, 2 sticks of 4GB. Now, I found that the mobo I want (Asus Z68 Pro) supports 1333 and 1600. So, does it support 1866 and 2133? Of 1600 is maximum? harpsi
