I'm going to be buying a GIGABYTE GA P55M-UD2 Motherboard and a i7 860 CPU and 1333 Corsair Ram,I'm not going to be overclocking anything but I was told if I wanted to use the 1333 ram I would need to overclock the ram or CPU not sure witch I was told that would need overclocking is this true or can I just plug this ram in and forget about it,I'm not to sure how much the guy really knows that told me this.I'm looking to just plug and play.

i7 860 is designed to work with 1333 ram, should be plug and play as you like.

Thanks for the help Ytterbium what you said in your response was what I thought as well but I was not 100% sure and the guy that told me that did not seem like he was the brightest Bulb in the Pack.

I think in house Intel experts will do a much better job in helping you overcome the situation! Ask them during the Intel Live Chat event on the 26th of Feb- http://www.intellivechat.com/facebook.html
