Hi,

I have an fx 8350 not OC and a m5a97 R2.0 mobo. I need to replace my ram as my current single 8gb ballistixs 1600mhz ram has something wrong with it. I'm looking to get a corsair vengeance 2x4Gb 1600mhz ram. but I have read that this motherboard and cpu have some compatibility issues with some ram. Will this ram be ok with this system?

Thanks in advance.

In your link above, I was the one who was working on the 'problem', which wasn't a problem, it was typical of AMD rigs (their CPUs have weak (comparatively speaking) MCs (memory controllers))...and to run 1866 and above it often takes voltage adjustments...nothing unusual about it, and once he did what was suggested (it did take awhile, didn't it ;) ) the rig was running fine
