On the ExcaliburPC website they isue this warning:

- All HyperX Memory may have incompatable issue with nForce2 V2.0 M/B, please consider it before you make the purchase. Return will not be accepted due to this reason.-

( http://www.excaliberpc.com/product_info.php?cPath=163_165&products_id=714 )

Does anyone has any experience with this combo...?
I find it hard to believe, an overclockers mobo and such high quality memory have incomatibility issues...

Please help out!!!

Greetzzz...

Is it just me or are the Dutch slowly taking over THGC??? ;)

Man I hope not. I've got that board coming from that site this next week. I've got the Hyper X 2 sizes 2 x 2700 & 2 x 3200 to run it with here already. I haven't decided what speed RAM I'm going to run on it yet. This is the first I've heard of this issue. Must be the V 2.0 because it's just getting out now. Man I hope it isn't the case.

If it ain't broke, take it apart & see why not!

Well I can say that Hyper X 3200 runs just fine on the A7N8X Deluxe V 2.0 MOBO. I've ran it sync. & async. Right now I've got it async. @ cas 2.0 & the board set to aggressive. Benches just fine. I still don't know where the incompatibilities come in, or came from. I searched everywhere & Prof133 searched as well, couldn't find anything out. I'm happy & it's a great system.

Honey, what's that smell? Don't bother me now I'm working on my computer! OOPS!
