Quick RAM compatibility question

Ravinxx · Aug 20, 2013

Just a quick question:
Is this RAM: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AHWXTZ4/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller=

Compatible with this motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130299
Thanks!

Yes it is compatible, but it will run that 1600 MHz ram at 1333 MHz

davefowler :

I have heard I can change the timing and such in the bios to make it run at 1600 MHz though. Is that true?

That board will run 1600mhz ram just fine. Just make sure to go into bios and make any needed adjustments to get that speed.

If your CPU can run 1600 yes, go into BIOS enable XMP and select Profile 1

I picked Tradesmans1's answer as the best, but you all were really helpful. Thanks a lot everyone.
