right memory module for my board

[macmarcelo]

i have gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R (rev. 1.6) mobo.. according to gigabyte website it supports:
4 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 16 GB of system memory (Note 1), Dual/3 channel memory architecture, Support for DDR3 2100+/1333/1066/800 MHz memory modules...
Can i use 2x4GB 1600mhz ddr3? because 1600mhz is the highest speed we have here in the market..thanks in advance..

Yes it will run.@1333 the 1600 can be set in the BIOS.

It's be detected as 1333, bgo into BIOS enable XMP, select profile 1 then save and exit, should be good to go

then i should go for 1333mhz? i think its useless to buy 1600mhz in my case? 1600mhz is more expensive..thanks

1600 is fine and will run fine - mobos always set DRAM to the mobos default when first installed and most default to 1333

but i cant use its full capacity? the same as buying 1333?thanks

Yes you can use it at full capacity with no problem....takes two minutes, a simple change in the BIOS

what will i set again in the bios sir? is it the memory multiplier? kindly specify all that i will set.. And sorry sir but i cant see the xmp in the bios...tnx a lot..

Should be an option for the DRAM to set to XMp, when that's done select profile 1

thats all sir? how about the multipier? when i start my pc, its indicated memory frequency 1066mhz...thanks

 

[Tradesman1]

[macmarcelo]

set to 1600

thanks a lot man... whats the other term for xmp? my bios is sort of outdated... i only see system memory multipier(SPD)-set to auto and DRAM timing selectable(SPD)-set to auto....
