I've been having random reboot problems and I believe it's the ram. I contacted OCZ (I use OCZ3P16002GK DDR3 ram) and they are saying it's difficult to get this ram working right on this motherboard. Timing issues I suppose. IT reboots even at 1333.

 

I've swapped out motherboards, power supplies (OCZ 600w) and things are running cool enough. OCZ's comment leads me to think I may as well change ram to something better for this board if I can.

 

I've heard good and bad about different brands. Of course, if someone has the same mother board and can give me what brand DDR3 they are successfully using, that'd be great.

 

Or maybe the solution is to go to DDR2?

 

Thanks.

I have a DX48BT2 and I have 8gb of patriot viper 1333mhz, works just fine. By default the board set them to 1066, but there is a profile in the BIOS to set all the timings to work at 1333.

Cant say for 1600 memory, other than for now it will only recognize 4gb (lame!) This board is DDR3 only so going back to DDR2 is not an option.
