Compatibility sabertooth 990 fx r2.0 end Corsair Vengeance 16GB 2400MHz DIMM 240-pin

Horgos Romeo · Apr 8, 2015

Heloo,please sombody can tell me if i buy corsair 16gb(4x4gb)2400mhz will work with a sabertooth 990fx r2.0,procesor is 9370 fx with WC,thank you

No the highest I would go would be 1866.

i7Baby · Apr 8, 2015

Most amd mobos only take up to 1866 ram.

Your's is no exception "4 x DIMM, Max. 32GB, DDR3 1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz ECC, Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory"

O)n top of what Blackbird said, it is rare for AMD's to hit 2400 Mhz for ram and be stable. Either way the motherboard only supports up to 1866 speeds. It may be possible to go past this by overclocking but the amount is not guaranteed.

Horgos Romeo · Apr 8, 2015

so will work at 1866 ? or the mobo will don t start anymore?
i don t care if is working low mhz.....i just want to know if will work without problems,thank you

i7Baby · Apr 8, 2015

1866 will be OK.

Horgos Romeo :

It should run at 1866 , I have 1866 Snipers running on that same board.

Horgos Romeo · Apr 8, 2015

i m sorry i don t understand ,i buy this memory end is 2400 mhz ....they will work on 1866mhz ...1600 mhz on my mb or i must order another memory,i m sorry again i m ....a big noob on this.

Dark Lord of Tech · Apr 8, 2015

I would order 1866 Snipers.

i7Baby · Apr 8, 2015

Can you return the 2400s for credit?

Horgos Romeo :

Hi,
It should work at 1866MHz.

For NVidia boards I would tell you to use the "XMP" setting. I'm not sure what the setting is for AMD. Your manual will tell you.

Go into the BIOS->CPU setting and click that setting (AMP?) to optimize your MEMORY settings. I'd be surprised if that didn't optimize for 1866MHz.

If it does NOT then you can manually change the settings however that's a bit more hassle. You need to set the timings correct but that's not too hard with some help.

Other:
a) update the BIOS first if newer exists ("2501")
b) changing CPU settings often changes memory settings so be aware
c) run MEMTEST any time you mess with settings. Quick test for two minutes, but do a full PASS (roughly 60min for 16GB) to ensure it's working properly especially if you had to manually change the settings.
www.memtest.org

d) Also find and run a CPU diagnostic test. I'm not sure what the best one is for AMD.

Other2:
Your memory is rated for 2400MHz. All memory has several "profiles" which can be detected. You can even see this in "CPU-Z"; for example if it chooses the "1866MHz" profile then it will also choose the correct CAS and other settings optimized for this frequency.

The BIOS must contain the memory profile to auto-detect and apply these settings. It will tend to default to a lower value like the 1600MHz profile but again using the "OPTIMAL" setting it should attempt to use the highest performing profile that the motherboard and memory both support which is the "1866MHz" profile.

The BIOS is occasionally updated with newer memory profiles which is why I suggested updating if newer exists.

photonboy · Apr 8, 2015

Update:
I should add that beyond 1866MHz you rarely see any benefit at all. I could find benchmarks that show a small benefit at times but not really real-world conditions IMO.

Unless you can replace your kit with an 1866MHz CAS9 quality kit for the same price (or save money) just keep the 2400MHz kit if you can get it working as suggested above. Since it's rated for 2400MHz you may find it's more reliable on average than most 1866MHz kits but I'm not an expert on that.

Again, MEMTEST is nearly 100% in proving the memory works so even if you end up setting everything manually you would know it works (1866MHz CAS9...).

You have the sticks? If so give them a try, install, go into BIOS and enable DOCP, believe the ST has a setting in DOCP for 2133 and maybe 2400, once DOCP is enabled and you select the data rate, find the CPU/NB voltage and set it to 1.3 and then see if it boots up and how it runs

i7Baby · Apr 9, 2015

Which particular sticks? These - http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vengeance-pro-series-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr3-dram-2400mhz-c10-memory-kit-cmy16gx3m2a2400c10r ?

https://www.dustinhome.dk/product/5010664143/vengeance this is memory end will come tomorow ...... i m so whory for that,i don t Know if my computer will work with this ,i mean i hope will start at least end work with low mhz 1600 mhz ....is no t so important becouse i don t owerclok ,all i n my computer is stoc.

4 x 4 gb kit http://www.corsair.com/en/vengeance-16gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz16gx3m4a2400c10

Tradesman1 · Apr 9, 2015

They should prob boot fine, prob at 1333, then you can try higher data rates from there

Horgos Romeo · Apr 9, 2015

I instal memory ...work first 1333 mhz ,i use bios end i put from auto to 1866, is working at 1866 i run 1h:43 min that memtest without errors,thank you all .

Glad to hear.
