Greetings

My friend recently bought me this 2x 8GB DDR3 2400MHz Kingston HyperX XMP Beast CL11 as a present , so I have question about this memory modules would they work on my m-board ga-990xa-ud3. I've read this notes on the m-board spec:

Support for DDR3 2000(O.C.)/1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz memory modules
Only one DIMM per channel is supported for DDR3-1866MHz and higher speed as using an AM3+ CPU

So I'm guessing no ,but asking just in case asking :)
My current PC spec:

AMD FX-8350
GIGABYTE GA-990XA-UD3 Rev 1.0
Apacer 2x 2GB DDR3 1333
Patriot 2x 2GB DDR 1333
BIOS F14e 2014/09/09

Looking forward for your answers.

A few things might be needed - might need a OC on the CPU, may need to raise the CPU/NB voltage (it feeds the MC (memory controller) and may need a little extra voltage to the DRAM. I'd normally start with taking the CPU multiplier up a couple notches, maybe set base to 4.2, then CPU/NB voltage to 1.22 and try

Give them a try, would guess they should run at 1866 (min) and maybe even up to full 2400, though realistically I'd guess 2133 at max, make sure you have the latest BIOS and let us know if there is any OC on the CPU and I can make some suggested setups for the sticks

I've install the memory modules and at stock setting they run at 1600 mhz , managed to run them on 1866 mhz but at 2133 and 2400 system give boot failure error and the memory speed resets to 1600. Is it possible to run it at 2000 mhz as I can see that’s the m-board max ?!

Thx Tradesman1 it works on 2005 mhz with no problem ,by incrementing values on HT ref. Clock MHz from 200 (stock) to 215 via AMD Overdrive. Meanwhile I've read some thread where it says that there is no difference in performance between 1866 and 2000 in gaming only in benchmarks so I'll keep it cool thx again.
