Hi,

I want to know which memory I can use with MSI-785G E-53 motherboard that I recently bought, I had used G-Skill but it has some issues and I have to replace it, the hardware store guy told me i should go with Corsair RAM.

On MSI site they don't have QVL chart for DDR3-1600 RAM. (they do have one for OC).
I am planning to choose from Corsair but would like your best suggetion.

Thanks
 
1600 is always an overclock speed for ram. It all depends on your motherboard and bios version. 1600 simply means it's been tested on some boards to run at this speed. But with amd, only some phenom II's will run stable at 1600. The rest may default to a lower speed. Also, having all 4 slots filled will effect stability at this speed. Read some newegg reviews for this board and see what brands of ram others have been using.
