Already described in the title. I read somewhere that this mobo doesnt work with high density ram, is it true? I thought it worked with every kind of ram. Also I tried searching for compatiblity apps or charts but had no luck yet.

Thanks

The motherboard is a P55/1156 socket and not compatible with the Fury, they operate off PnP which came along with the later 1155 socket. Also the Fury are made with high density memory ICs, (as is all DDR3 made today), where the 1156 was geeared to the older DDR3 made with low density memory ICs. For DRAM look for the older GSkill NT series of value DRAM (made with low density ICs) which is still available

Hello there.

Intel boards are much more specific in their demands usually.
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/boards-and-kits/desktop-boards/000007160.html

"DDR3 1600 or higher memory support on this motherboard requires compatible XMP enabled memory or advanced knowledge of BIOS and manual memory tuning. Individual results can vary."

What this says, is that even with 1600mhz memory, if it doesn't have the correct XMP profiles, it simply won't work...Since it's a Plug-n-Play card, it may simply be trying to force itself at 1600mhz, and the Intel board simply can't support it.

The support list means little to nothing, being PnP simply means the DRAM will set itself up to the max the BIOS can handle, it doesn't 'force' it to run at a higher data rate. If you check specs on the Fury they clearly state that the 1156 socket isn't supported, which is because it was made and support low density IC based DRAM.
