highc1157 · Aug 2, 2013

I just went to Fry's and got these:

Gigabyte 990FX UD3 mobo $150
Corsair Vengeance pro series 8GB (2x4GB), 1600MHz, 9-9-9-24, 1.5V -$85

compatible? I have a phenom 965 cpu as well

Yes should be no problem, if you have trouble setting up the sticks try this:

1. Set DRAM Frequency to DDR3-1600

2. Set CPU-NB Frequency to 2400MHz (DDR3-1600 / 2 = 800MHz, then x 3) CPU-NB Frequency should always be 3X DRAM bus frequency

3. Set HT Link Frequency to 2400MHz

4. Set timings to tCL 9 - tRCD 9 - tRP 9 - tRAS 24, or whatever your memory is rated for.

5. Set DRAM Voltage to 1.50V, or whatever your memory is rated for.

6. Most CPUs will need a CPU-NB Voltage boost of +0.10V, so if your default is 1.10V, set it to 1.20V.

Let me know how it goes
