Hello everyone! Need some feedback, please. Been having issues with my Asrock P67Extreme Gen 3 motherboard after bios update. It wouldn't recognize one of my memory sticks and the one it does recognize, it sets it at 1333. Also, the setting for XMP had also disappeared. I replaced the bios chip, everything was normal for a while, ran 16 gigs at 2133. Now the same story is happening. I am thinking I might just replace my motherboard altogether. Question. Want to pair my 2600K with an Asus Z77 board. If I do, would the board allow me set the XMP at 2133? The reason I am asking is, I have read somewhere that GIGABYTE boards require an IV processor to run RAM anywhere about 1600. Thank you in advance! :)
 


Gigabyte makes solid boards. You will not be able to use some of the functions on any Z77 motherboard, such as PCIe 3.0 because the 2600K architecture does not support them.
