Hi community,
I am in the process of building my second system and have come across a memory issue.
The system is based around an i7 860 cpu and an Asus P7P55D-E Premium motherboard.
Now when choosing the memory I checked with the Corsair Memory Finder and it suggested
a list of compatible memory and the one I chose (8GB modules CMX8X3M4B1333C9) was one of them.
The issue I have with this memory set is that on the box it's packed in is a sticker pronouncing
AMD Phenom II. Further checks on Corsair's web site also reveal that it's an AMD Phenom memory set.
I contacted Corsair's Tech Support 2 days ago, still waiting for a response.
Does anyone know the difference between the memory I have bought and the 8GB modules CMX8X3M4A1333C9
(i5/i7 compatible but not on the Corsair list of memory for that MOBO)? The specs are the same.
Strangely the CMX8X3M4A1600C9 is on the list! I'm confused.
Sorry if the explanation is a bit long winded but I would really appreciate some feedback from the community.
