GA-EP35-DS3L Ram compatibility?

[Honestgabe]

Hey guys, first time builder here.

Wondering if this RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227269 works well with the GA-EP35-DS3L? Anyone have the two togethor, or does anyone with just more knowledge of these things than I have any suggestions of why or why not they would work well togethor?

Thanks in advance!

It should not have any problems, Myself and several of my friends all have the P35-DS3L, with different memory(we all have different brands) I am using Mushkin EM 6400 (DDR2-800) one of my friends is running OCZ Reapers
These

Its $10 more than the ones you listed but the timings are 4-4-4-15 and I can confirm they work with the board. But if price is important, the ones you listed should work too.

Oh, i should also mention, you will more than likely have to manually set the timings AND Voltage in the bios. Control+F1 in the main menu then go to M.I.T. but before setting it manually check it with CPU-Z
Once open hit the memory tab, it will show current timings,

Speedfan is a free utility that will show your voltage for the memory, in the main window it should be listed as Vcore 2(pay no attention to the fact it shows my 12v @ -16v the memory voltage is correct)

Before hitting Ctrl+F1 it will look like this

After you will get this

use standard timing control,
Timing
5-4-4-15

Voltage
2.1V
For voltage, the default on the board is 1.8 so you will need +.3

For Refresh to ACT delay, use what the bios shows on the left.....or 42(from OCZ forums )

I hope I didn't goof!

I too recently bought this board
I also bought this Ram Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148076

The memory is specced at 2.2V...

I have not recieved my stuff yet, should be thursday, but I downloaded the board manual and found this under the memory specs for the board:

Memory 4 x 1.8V DDR2 DIMM sockets supporting up to 8 GB of system memory (Note 1)
Dual channel memory architecture
Support for DDR2 1066/800/667 MHz memory modules
(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest memory support list.)

Do I need new RAM... or am I gonna just have to follow the above posters BIOS way of upping the Voltage?

@OP: Only DDR2 1066 RAM has problem with that board motherboard. DDR2 800 will/should work fine as llong as you set correct timing and voltages.
