    Try running your current RAM at CL2 . It may well take it. I have Crucial CL2.5 ram in mine running at CL2 no probs. I f your RAM is of any decent quality it should do it Ok! Mind you, Corsair does have a reputation as being great quality itself!

    It is unlikely that you will have that option, but if you do, you could certinly try it. However, major performance increases in everyday usage are probably likely to be negligible!

    will only make a difference if you do a lot of overclocking or you have very high system temps...

    its designed with looks in mind - those heat spreaders do next to nothing.
