I've done a lot of overclocking over the years and for memory, this is my
take:
If you can get faster memory, for not much more money, and it doesn't take
much more voltage to run at that speed (which would generate more heat and
require more cooling), then it might be worth doing. If the cost dou

When you tried it, did it seem worth 2-times the cost?
For example, 1300MHz ram is being over-clocked to 2000MHz, a

If you are a super-performance enthusiast with money to burn, then yes,
overclocked memory is worth the extra cost, extra heat, increased chance of
instability, and extra cooling that may be required.
If those things sound like bad things to you (as they do me) then
overclocked memory is probably n
You can swap the power LED and HD LED on a motherboard with no ill effects
(I've miss-plugged them, plenty of times) so if you just want to know if you
can plug the power LED into the HD LED header, then the quick answer is yes.

I would first run the memory at the rated speed. Then, start with
your overclocking at the next step and monitor the temps and then make
your assessment from there.
On Tue,
thanks, but what is the power rating(watts)

I just threw my multimeter on the power led connector on my motherboard and
it measured 5V DC.

I want to get some hardware advise from the NLUG collective.
I'm about to build myself a new desktop system. I'm going i7, with an
Asus motherboard:

I'm unsure about the memory. The motherboard I have chosen supports
over-clocked
any idea where one might find that?
or if there is a standard level they all meet
I have a case with no hdd led on it, but there is a multi-led circuit
in the lid that usually feeds from a power connector tap and I can
change the connector to mate it with the hdled on the mobo but dont
yet know
